THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO - BANKS T0 REFUSE LOANS ON BONUS Many Institutions Declare Interest Rate Too Low i for Lending. The Veterans' Bureau banks were preparing today to issue Joans under the new soldiers’ expected to be passed over the Presi- dent’s veto by the Senate before night- fall, but the possibility arose tha many banks would refuse to make the loans on account of the low interest Tate of 41 per cent. Officials of the Veterans’ Bureau ex- plained that the bonus bill authorized banks to make loans to veterans, and that already some banks had s fled their willingness to advance m: to veterans under the new law. Other Banks Protest. Some institutions, however, it was Ready to Pay Bonus BONUS BILL PASSES FIRST VETER. and some bonus, | learned, had already signified their in- | tention of not loaning to veterans be- cause they could not “afford” to do it 2t the Jow rate of interest fixed In the i), The Veterans' Bureau was ready at its local regional office to take care of a flood of applications beginning the minute the bill passed the Senate and became law. As a matter of fact. a few applications have already been filed and placed on record, although the Government had not encouraged the filing of such applications prior to ac- tual passage of the act. With enactment of the law over the President’s veto, however, virtually a foregone conclusion, many veterans called at the regional office, at 1540 I street, today to make their formal ap- plications. The work of the regional office here, according to Maj. E. T. Hitch, regiona manager, today was absolutely “current.” | so that it is ready to take up the big | load immediately. On account of the | flood of applications expected, however, Maj. Hitch could mot estimate accu- | rately how long it would be before the first _ veterans to apply receive their checks. All checks will be mailed out to veterans at the address to which they desire the checks sent. Money Is Available. It was evident at the Veterans' Bu- reau that plenty of money is available | in the United States Treasury to the| account of the Veterans' Bureau to take | care of the préent loans. Some $30.- 000,000 is said to be on hand to start making payments. This will be enough. officials believe, to last until further funds were available. Officials are expecting a rush for at least two weeks. not only at the local | regional office of the Veterans' Bureau, byt at the other 51 regional offices | throughout the country. | Exactly how long it will take for vet- erans to get their money after making application depends on several factors, including the efficiency of the local regional offices. The one here is said to be in excellent condition, and able to_push through the.loans. | In the case of original loaas the time necessary in office work will be shorter than in cases where veterans have pre- viously borrowed on their certificates. In cases where the veteran have not borrowed before on their bouuses, they | may borrow up to 50 per cent of face | values. Where, however, a_veteran has pre- viously borrowed on his adjusted serv- | icé certificate, it will be necessary for | much accounting to be done before it | | Glester, accountant of the reg!

OVER HODVER VETO Senate Vote of 76 to 17 Makes Legislation Law Despite President. ___ (Continued From First Page.) | supporter of the bonus loan bill, | Jaunched into a defense of the measure |and a criticism of the President’s veto message. When he concluded his ad- dress there were cries of “Vote, vote!” from many of the Senators, and in preparation for such a vote Senator Reed of Fennsylvania called for a quorum Senator Hastings of Delaware sug- gested that some of the veterans might | borrow money on their bonus certifi- | cates to buy automobiles and luxurie: | He said that there had been report | that veterans already had borrowed | money on their certificates and bought small motor cars and neglected their wives and children. “I do not know any soldier who bor- | rowed for such a purpose,” continued Senator Hastings, when he was asked to name one of them. “I do not know personally, but I do know many ex- soldiers, who, if they were given a chance, would steal a certificate from their wives and go out and spend the night with some other women. Senator Barkley of Kentucky chal- lenged Senator Hastings to name a single soldier who would do such a thing. |~ “Of course, I would not name him if I could,” repiied Senato: Hasuii: “You do not know any veterans who would do such a thing." said S Barkley. “That is whv you will name them.” Senator Barkley insisted that the Hestings remark was a rewec- | tion upon the men who had defended | the flag. Senator Hastings retorted that no re- flection was intended to be cast on the veterans He added: | “But the Senator from Kentucky knows that the ex-soldier isa human be- ing, and is not different from other cit- | izens and is apt to do the things that others do.” Letter From Veteran Read. He read to the Senate a letter {rom a veteran in Delaware which declared that Senator Hastings had ‘“disregarded the wishes of the great majority of ex- service men in Delaware” when he had voted against the bonus bill. It con- tinued: “If you are wise you will see pected to pass over the President's veto | the handwriting on the wall and, o Ruby of 1715 Fourteenth street south- [ ¥ate to SUstelft tie “TEECror tess ho was sed and wounded in action | g v M Gino T Gupported the loan ich he said would am-unt to $400. | : : abpiigation: for thelloah fo) 1 %A | CLL e wiiter would be forced fo yoie g rid the counter. Miss Iva_ Menefee, in | election. Senator Hastings said that he had no doubt_that other Senators had received | such letters. He said that he had the greatest sympathy with World War vet- erans in distress, and for those who had been disabled, but that he did not con- sider the pending loan bill was fair to anybody, to the veterans, to the Gov- ernment. or to the people as a whole, and that he would vote against it. Senator Vandenberg cailed the atten- tion of the Senate to the fact that when the first demand came during the present Session of Congress for aid to veterans, it was proposed to pay them the entire face value of their bonus certificates. This, he pointed out, would have made a payment of from three and a half to four billion dollars. The pending loan bill, he said, when con- sidered by the opponents of the original plan, was satisfactory. Yet, he said, the pending loan bill is attacked now in ldiers’ borus checks, expected to pour da 5. Standing beside her is E.

He pointed out that Congress also was making available another $112,000,000 which will go to the sinking fund this coming year. | ““Therefore,” said Senator Vanden- | ]bcl‘!. “there is a total of $897,000,000 of Government money or Government | securities in the fund from which pri- | marily these loans to the veterans may | be_obtained.” The Michigan Senator said no one | knew just how many veterans would | claim the privilege of making loans. One estimate, he sald, was that the | total loans would be around $400,000,000. while that of the administrator of veterans’ affairs was that it would be a | billion dollars. He insisted that the | Government_would be able to obtain | all the money necessary from the sale | of securities and meet all demands of the veterans for loans. The plan, he | sald, is “self-contained” and he added that he could not understand how any plan could be more favorable to the | Government itself. “I cannot forget,” sald Senator Van- denberg, “that when the Government asked for $400,000,000 not long ago. | there was offered $1.600,000,000 for the Government securities which would have yielded about 1 per cent annually as interest. I am sure that the Gov- ernment can get all the money it needs | now at not more than 4 per cent in- terest, while the veterans will pay 4% per cent interest on their ioans, There is no fiscal menace in this plan. If anybody has a gight to complain about the plan, it is the veterans. For this | loan plan has been substituted for the cash payment of his adjusted com- pensated certificates.” No Element of Gift. Senator Vandenberg said that he originally had favored granting aid | through the adjusted compensation cer- tificate loans only to those veterans who | were in distress.” Such a plan, he said, was now favored by opponents of the pending bill. | “The President would leave it to the Government to decide whether the vet- | berg. “In this bill we leave it to the! veteran himself to decide if he is in need. If he is he will apply for a loan | There is no element of gift in this plan. | We are simply the trustees of a fund | created for the veterans. We plan to release to them only what has already been dedicated to the veterans. The only question in my mind is whether this legislation is really for the benefit of the veterans. We leave it to the vet- erans to decide.” | Senator Vandenberg declared em- phatically that the pending bill was not a raid on the Treasury in any sense. | Senator Hastings said that ever since the World War there had been a “con- | stant effort to pay the veteran for his patriotism.” = | “It can't be done,” continued Senator Hastings. “I would give everything I have, and so would other Senatars, if I could have the record of valor and service rendered by some of these veterans.” Calls Compromise Surrender. The Delaware Senator pointed out that when the original bonus law was enacted in 1924, the adjusted compen- | sation for the veterans had been care- fully figured. according to their length | of service, and that 25 per cent had | been added to the total, since it was proposed to postpone the payments until 1945. Furthermore, interest on the ad- | justed compensation had been com-| pounded and added to the principal, so as to obtain the face value of the ad- | justed compensation certificates. “And now, 14 years before payment is due on these certific: " said Sena- | tor Hastings, advanced value of the to the veterans That pro- s abandoned and we have here | need and what veteran is not” | that due to economic conditions they | | ator Bingham said he did not think the | Alabama Senator should make fun of {eran is in need,” said Senator Vandr‘n-\’ | ed every two years | with the passage of this | like other Presidents, v legislation would not be enlarged, Sen- ator Cutting said that one Congress could not bihd future Congresses, or prevent future Congresses [rom taking & different course. “The veto message of the President rests on fundamental misconceptions,” said Senator Cutting. “I feel sure that no one who favored the draft law would have sald that those men were to be a special class. They are not a_group of specially privileged men. The task which Congress gave them to perform in 1917 placed them under a personal economic handicap. Whatever secur- ities have to be sold now to obtain the money to loan these veterans will re- lieve the sale of securities later by that much. It has been urged that loans should be made only to the needy vet- erans.

If such a bill were before the Senate to- day, he said, he would not now be found opposing it. “President Hoover has shown great courage in sending this veto to Con- gress in face of the overwhelming vote in the House and Senate in favor of the bonus loan bill.” said Senator Bing- ham. “Members of the House are elect- | Doubtless they be- | lieve that the veterans will be p:vawdl biil.

But at the same clec- tion at which virtually all members of the House will seek re-election next year the President will run again. “I have not talked with the President | about this matter, but I assume that, | he will wish to! be re-elected, if only as a_vindication | of his_ administration. The unusual thing about this veto is that President Hoover is now in his first term. He has been faced with unusual conditions the world over which brought about depres- sion here and elsewhere. Many of the voters, critical of the administration, nave threatened to vote to place an- other party in power. Yet, notwith- standing all these things, the President has sent in his veto of this bill. He has shown a degree of courage se'dom | seen in the White House since the days | of Grover Cleveland.

But many of these veterans will | find that they will be unable to borrow | anything on these new certificates un- der the law. The provision which de- clares that the certificates must be two | years old before the first loan can be made on it is to be enforced by the Veterans’ Bureau, it was said. Another thing of importance, which many veterans have overlooked, it was stated, is that the 50 per cent which veterans now are allowed to borrow will put an end to borrowing on their sol- diers’ bonus for the next 10 years. Some veterans have been in the habit of bor- rowing frequently on their bonuses, | some taking out small amounts several | times a year. If the full 50 per cent is now bororwed it will absorb the loan value of the certificate until 1943. In the meantime no further loans can be made on the bonus.

There are enough securities in the Treasury today, designed eventually to retire these certificates, to cover a loan which will be made under this bill.” Senator Vandenberg declared it would be feasible for the Government to dis- pose of these securities and to obtain the money to advance the veterans on their bonus certificates. 1f anything, he said, the plan would make easier the financing of the whole soldiers’ bonus payment, which falls due in 1945.
