By the Associated Press. ‘The first definite reaction to Presi- dent Hoover's warning two days ago of an impending deficit in the Treasury ‘was shown in the House yesterday when Chairman Wood of the appropriations committee threw the weight of his of- fice against the Johnson bill to grant increased compensation benefits to ‘World War veterans. Through more than 10 hours general debate on the measure, which would provide compensation benefits for every disability incurred between date of en- listment and January 1, 1925, no voice was raised against it until Wood took the floor. The only previous opposition had been based on the contention that the bill should be broadened w in- clude more veterans. Cost Set High. Asserting that the legislation was “full of injustices from beginning to end,” and was an opening wedge fof the expenditure of “more than a bil- lion dollars a year” for veterans’ reltef, the Indianan read the letter sent to himself and Chairman Jones of the Senate finance committee by President Hoover, calling for a reduction in ex- penditures. ‘The cost of the veterans’ bill was es- timated by Wood at a possible $400,- 000,000 annually. Chairman Johnson of the World War veterans’ committee had calculated its cost as about $100,~ 000,000. President Hoover in his letter said re-examniation by the Budget Bureau shows “a deficit of some 20 or 30 mil- lions of dollars,” called attention to bills “passed or favorably reported by congressional committees which would authorize an additional expenditure of Yy $350,000,000 next year,' ‘added that “there is cause for real in the situation.” § Wood spoke immediately after Repre- sentative Mary T. Norton, Democrat, New Jersey, had asserted that the “ar- gument of expense in with these ‘boys who fought our battles is a pititul ! 8 one indeed.” ‘The House agreed to remain in ses- sion _tomorrow until the bill was dis- o posed of.

The State Department today made public the text of a telegram sent President Borno of Haitl on April 22, 1930, congratulating him on his “co- operation” in aiding the United States to solve the Haitian difficulties. ‘““Your co-operation,” said the tele- gram, “in carrying out the recom- mendation of the President's committee in Haitl is very much appreciated. It has been your constant helpful and friendly co-operation that has made possible the success of the assistance which the United States Government has been privileged to extend to Haiti over the last eight years and it affords me much pleasure to take this oppor- tunity to express to you the sincere appreciation of this Government for | your unfailing, helpful and sympathetic attitude. “Without your support this most re- cent constructive measure could not have been accomplished and it makes a most happy climax to your adminis- tration.” ‘The telegram was sent under the signature of Joseph P. Cotton, Acting Secretary of State. At the same time the State Department made public the text of a telegram sent President Borno on the same date by W. Cameron Forbes, chairman of President Hoover’s Haitian commission, in appreciation of his efforts.
