TO THE HONORABLE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM ALL ALASKA ‘ DIVISIONS the undersigned Alaskan GI {Joes, noted with considerable in- terest the inopportune concluding comments on the bonus bill now pefore the Legislature, made by Nirs. John McCormick in her report, the Senators and Representa- tives from all Divisions, on funds yaised to date in Alaska for the National War Fund. We fail to understand 1y reasoning which construes ritorial supplement in the form of a retroactive increase in pay as an insult; at least we heard mno such interpretation when a Bill raising certain territorial salaries, was recently passed. The average GI will make his exit from the Armed Services with nothing but his $300 mustering out money, payable in three monthly installments, from which ] We, to he must purchase a complete out-! it of civilian clothes and perhaps sustain himself through a readjust- ment period of one or two months. He will also have the opportunity, under the Federal GI Bill, of bor- rowing from a bank an amount up to $4,000, one-half of which is guar- anteed by the Federal Government. Of course, the offer of three or fcur years’ experience in the Armed Services probably will not be ac- ceptable collateral in many banks. Consequently, the advantages of the Federal Bill, in connection with loans, will be available to few 5T, A good morale builder would be the knowledge that after the war, there will be a few hundred dollars available for a down payment on a home, small business or the basis ifor a larger loan.
