Our Government
— How It Operates
By William Bruckart
VETERANS'
ADMINISTRATION
Z^N'E of the greatest problems which
this, or any other government,
has been called upon to solve Involves
the vétérans of the World war. It Is
a problem that has bedeviled congress
and one President after another, and
It Is going to bedevil more congresses
and more Presidents, for the answer
Is not in sight and in this year alone,
the payments to veterans nnder one
or another of the hundred-odd veteran
relief acts amounts to the astounding
total of $085.000.000—Just about one
fourth of the operating cost of the gov
ernment, or that part paid for running
expenses.
All of this vast sum, and It has been
growing year by year, is paid ont
through one agency, namely, the vet
erans' administration. The veterans'
administration Is not In the fight; It Is
not a part of the problem. It 1s sim
ply the agency through which the
money passes, never to return to the
federal treasury.
Undoubtedly, there Is a large sum
of this total which the taxpayers
would not have returned to the treas
ury. Surely, there Is none who would
object to a governmental and public
expression of gratitude In the form of
compensation and care for the widows
and orphans left behind by those who
made the supreme sacrifice, or for
those men whose lives were wrecked
In the sfervlce. The care of them Is
recognized everywhere as an obliga
tion that must be met. But about
the remainder of this sum, a real bat
tle wages, for that involves the bonus,
It Includes payments In the nature of
compensation or hospitalization and
dhe like for causes not remotely con
nected with the war. These are the
things that are being questioned, and
unless all signs fail, congresses of
the future are going to be confronted
by It, because there never has been an
Investigation made to disclose what
share of the nearly a billion dollars
falls within the recognized require
ment of caring for widows and orph
ans and war-time disabled.
The best available figures indicate
that something like 400,000 persons are
receiving payments in one form or
another under the veterans' relief acts.
But that Is not all. There la that de
mand, best exemplified by the bonus
march on Washington, for payment of
the remainder of the bonus in cash.
Half of the sum that was intended
originally to be paid to the veterans In
1045, or prior to that time to be paid
to their benflclarlos In case of death,
already has been made available, In
the form of loans. There Is no deny
ing, however, that some of the veter
ans have organized powerful groups
to force legislation through to carry
out their wishes, and if they do, con
gress will vote a total of two billion,
four hundred million dollars out of
the*treasury at one fell swoop.
It has been pointed out as this bonus
question has been debated up and
down that the federal treasury is like
ly to end the current year next June
30 with another deficit. It had a
deficit of $083,000,000 on June 30, 1931,
and more than two and a half billion
June 30, 1032, so Imagination Is not
required to see what will happen If
the bonus Is voted. It will be either
more taxes or mote bond issues which
the taxpayers ©f the country eventual
ly will have to meet.
But the veterans have a claim. They
point to the #act that fifty years after
the Civil war, the federal government
was paying pensions that amounted
to as high as $300,000,000 a year, and
even now. 65 years after the war be
tween the states, pensions drain $125,
000,000 from the treasury.
As was stated, however, the veter
ans' administration Is not a part of the
controversy, except Incidentally. It
goes on carrying out the laws which
congress has passed and paying out
the money which congress has appro
priated. It does the job through some
eight or ten thousand employees, scat
tered throughout the country. They
are necessary tf funds are to be han
dled and If the hundred or more hos
pitals to which veterans may go for
treatment are to be supervised.
The veterans' administration has fd
get as near to those It serves as can
be done conveniently. Hence, the fif
ty-odd district offices; hence, the local
physicians In so many communities,
hence the examining boards In
many sections. It would appear that
the veterans' administration eats
a tremendous sum In salaries. The
cost of handling these payments to the
veterans dr their beneficiaries is only
about 5 per cent of the total. Criti
cism has been directed at the agency
from time to time, however, Indica
tive of some malfeasance. Undoubt
edly, some of It Is Justified, but the .
consensus of opinion Is that much of
the difficulty Into which the veterans'
administration falls from time to time
results from the avarice of those whom
congress has sought to benefit. They
were presented with an opportunity to
get something from the government,
and the government long has been re
garded as fair game.
