orders when sanc tions are dropped Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin has not challenged the view of Neville Chamberlain his chancel lor of the Exchequer that sanc tions are very midsummer of madness" The British position in the Mediterranean is believed to be the prime reason for what labor ites describe as the off' of II Duce to withdrawal In reality the British general staff is today more worried about Egypt Malta the Suez canal and the British position in the Mediterranean than) at any time in the past year because where as 12 months ago threat to that rich prize Egypt and the Sudan lay only on the Libyan side today Mussolini has brack eted the territory with huge armies in Libya on the west and Eritrea and Ethiopia on the south and east rom the sea which guards the north and east entrances the Italian fleet is mobilized for ac tion lined up within easy strik ing distance of a British armada daily growing more restless and uneasy under the nearly year long vigil of inactivity in the eastern off shores The story going the rounds is that instead of Ethiopia Egypt was real goal in the fall of 1935 and that the thrust toward the land of the Pharaohs has only been temporarily

forgery of names to the bonus checks Postal officials are also held responsible personally for cashing of checks wrongfully When the bonus was issued in 1925 on the basis of $1 per day for wartime service with the armed lorces in the United States and $125 for overseas service the average certificate called for payment of $893 in 1945 By previous congressional acts most veterans have borrowed 50 per cent of this sum The full amount of previous loans and in terest charges to Oct 1 1931 will be deducted before payment is made Interest after 1931 has been cancelled Hoosier veterans who elect to hold their bonus bonds until maturity in 1945 will receive 3 per cent a year inter est The bonds may be cashed anytime between now and 1945 An exhaustive survey by the National American Legion here indicates that veterans will spend the bonus chiefly in liquidation of old standing debts for homes automobiles and the necessities of life Dr A Killian of La fayette state commander of the Indiana Legion today urged all veterans who could to save their bonus bonds as a nest egg for future years He asked those who could comfortably do so to stand aside and not cash their bonds until veterans in dire dis tress had an opportunity to do so HUGE BATCH MAIL WASHINGTON June (AP) The bonus was paid today to veterans of the World war One of the last chapters in the 17 year struggle over various forms of adjusted compensation was written as bonds worth almost $1650000000 moved oyer highway and rural route to ward the pockets of city man and farmer Shipments of the bonds to some 3000000 ex service men from 12 federal reserve cities constituted one of the largest batches of mail in postoffice his tory When the work is com pleted 38000000 bonds will have been sent out Government experts said that by the end of the week millions of dollars in cash would be in the of those men who seek immediately to swap the bonds for government and the cash then will flow into the trade channels While postal employes at 45000 postoffices worked on delivery of packages to the veterans other workers prepared to accommodate those eager to get cash retention of the bonds which draw interest at the rate of 3 per cent has been urged by General rank Hines veter administrator there is no urgent condition which re quires that the bonds be The American Legion estimated that merchants and retailers would receive $623615793 from the pay ments URGES COOPERATION President Roosevelt over whose veto the immediate payment meas ure V)as passed by congress last week took cognizance of the ex

unnecessary Harold Breining assistant administrator of veterans affairs in charge of he bonus disburse ment predicted today that only 300000 or 400000 applying veter ans would remain undistributed by Monday's deadline These are special cases where incomplete records inadequate application statements or loan complications have delayed the approval of ap plications MURPHY SATISIED INDIANAPOLIS June (AP) Ray Murphy American Legion national commander on the eve already arriving in Rome to renew of distribution of the bonus bonds said today: is little that may or should be said on this occasion other than to express again our natural satisfaction that the last chapter in the long fight to obtain common justice for the men who bore arms' for America in the World war now has been American he added as it is solely of those who served in the armed forces of our country during the fighting days of the war brought forward the proposition 'of ad justing the wartime service pay because it was convinced that it was right and in keeping with the treatment our government previously had accorded con traotors and civilian employes who did not share the hazards of the soldiers sailors and marines vast majority of citizens agreed With the course of the Legion some others disagreed with us We never questioned the right of any person or group to so disagree with us True to the principles

not change our form of free government when we arm ourselves with new weapons against new devices of crime and The president asserted we have knowledge but it is a vastly wider He then pointed out how the pioneer settlers of the northwest lacked the foresight in protect ing natural resources and de clared: NATURE OENDED man did not have our knowledge in those older days we have wounded nature and na ture has taken offense if the task of us the living to restore to nature many of the riches we have taken from her in order that she may smile once more upon those who come after The thousands who
