VET’S GASH PAYMENT
~ KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 5. (/P)
*« Before the 72nd Congress convener
! early in December more than 250,
“ 000 petitions seeking 10 million sig
1 natures in support of immediau
s cash payment of adjusted cornpen
2 sation certificates will have beer
J distributed throughout the entire
* country by the Veterans of Foreign
2 Wars of the United States.
JI Early in October, 100,000 petition:;
* were mailed from National head
1 quarters here to each of the approx
2 imately 2,500 local, county and
[ State units of the organization.
* By November 1, 1931, petition*
2 were sent to each individual mcm
J ber of the organization. As a re
■ suit, these petitions bearing the
1 names of more than 10 million cit
2 izens, veterans and citizens alike,
[ will be pouring into the offices of
■ the national legislative committee
2 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of
J the United States in Washington,
■ D. C., when the opening gavel of
1 the next session of Congress is
j sounded.
■ “This distribution of petitions,
« designed to present Congress with
2 actual evidence of a favorable sen
2 timent among the rank and file of
i! America’s veterans, is merely one
J i of the methods our organization
11 is contemplating in support of this

“The Veterans of Foreign Wars
of the United States was first
pledged to the principle of imme
diate cash payment back in 192E
and we are still keeping faith with
the veteran and his needs.
“The nation has been led to be
lieve that- the rank and file of Am
erica’s World War veterans are not
in favor of immediate cash pay
ment of adjusted compensation.
Nothing could be further from the
actual truth. Veteran organizations
actually include less than one-third
of the total number of World War
veterans. The great body of un
organized veterans is asking that
the government pay off this ob
ligation at the present time, when
their needs are the greatest and
the distribution of these funds
throughout the entire country are

“The petition campaign we are
sponsoring will not only reflect the
