Is for Endowment Insurance
Policy--Favors Bonus for
Soldiers, He Adds
BY GEOUGE 11. MANNING
(Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening News)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13—To give
eacli man who served in tee World
War an endowment insurance policy
instead of the cash would permit the
government to meet its obligation to
the former service men and would
make it necessary to raise about four
billion dollars in revenue at cnee to
make the payments that would be
reiiuired under the four-opticoi plan.
Congressman T. Frank Appleby of
New Jersey suggested today.
"X think this would le striking a
happy medium and save much use
less argument.” said Mr. Appbby
“I also think that of the four mil
lion men who served in tile army
and navy during the war a majority
oe them would be satisfied t r accept
an endowment insurance policy, and
in cases where it was absolutely nec
essary the actual cash could bo paid.
"f am heartily in favor of the bo
nus. It was one of the plankstn the
platform on which I was elected and
I intend to vote In its favor regard
less of the method to be used to
raise the money.
"I have been receiving many let
ters and telegrams recently urging
me not to vote for the bonus bill,
lint I will vote for it when it comes
before the House In spite of the or
ganized propaganda against it."
