The most. urgent demand right now, for immed- iate action in Congress, ‘is NOT tariff, nor faxes nor foreign relations. It is the cry for simple justice to 641,900 young men who were branded in body, and many also in! soul, that the’ great war might be won. Memorial arches and buildings-have been’ pro- vided by dozens. Eulogies have been uttered by! thousands. Campaign promises have. been regis- tered by tens of thousands. But delay ‘and neglect and. indifference’ and red tape turn all this empty, glory'to, gall‘in the mouths of these suffering men. We have had enough, and too rich, ‘of ‘TALK. What the people of the United States want is ACTION. And QUICK ACTION! Each month adds 1500 new cases‘to the list of! men in hospitals already so crowded that decent care is impossible. The terrible toll of tubgreulosis, fesulting from gas and exposure, will continue to mount until! 1927, + : More hospitals—and more HEART; Prompt decisions on pending ‘cases; Speed and efficiency. in the bureaus at Wash- ington; « Those are the things Congress must provide.

Some saw in the man’s act just a stunt, while. others perceived in the crawling figure the sym- | bol of humanity strugglingly endlessly up:the daz-| zling heights towards ‘the -ideal the cross repre-' sents. Up these heights, over many different roads, man is seen at times advancing; and at times halt-| ing, stumbling avd, falling: back—but every cen: | tury finds him a bit higher up the rugged slope. But, unlike the’ fellow on the’ steeple, man will) never reach the top. For when: he arrives at the) tplacé he thought was his goal, he discovers there are still higher steéps to ascend toward the beck- oning symbol of perfection. “I must’ go on,” he says, and’so, undismaye he resumes his age-old'journey. Thus does hu-| |manity progress, striving endlessly for unattain-| able perfection, ever upward toward the stars.
