Commodore E. C. Baltz is chairman of | the Regatta Committes and Commodore Edmund F, Jewell heads the Racing Committee. The statement, issued through Direc- | tor Ward H.

The law passed in April, 1927, creating a special cate- months’ service in the trenches, and glving them all a pension after 50, is fertile in political possibilites. It has already proved the importance of the veteran organizations; no government dare ignore them. The Tardieu government, to lighten the budget last year, considered reduc- ing the allocation which goes with the “card of the combatant.” This, ac- cording to the finance law of Decem- ber, 1926, gave actual trench fighters annuity which matched with the lower degrees of the mutilated, about 500 francs a year beginning with the fif- tieth year. 1t wes thought advisable, also, to re- duce the to prevent establishing a principle of pensions to all veterans, which, it was feared, would become a is expected that the President will | heayy burden on the nation within a few years, when the number of vet- erans over 50 would be mounting rap- idly toward a million. But the asso- ciations of veterans induced Tardieu, then premier, not to make the reduc- | tion: the political pressure was suffi- jent to perstade him to yield. The argument of the veterans was among the veterans now receiving ‘pen- sions. The government could, there- fore, afford, they argued, to consider all trench fighters as eventual recipients of_pensions. They produced mortality statistics to show that the mutilated now receiving high pensions will all, or practically all, ‘be gone before the bulk of the war vet- erans reach 50, and they consider France owes all of them a pension from the age of 50 in return for their months in the trenches. Reduction Is Impossible. The modest allocation now being re- ceived under the law of 1927 will not, of course, always remain the same. To reduce the figure is impossible, as Tar- dieu discovered, and while parliament not_expecting rapid action. terest lles in the future, when their number is smaller and the needs of the individual veterans, through age and- gory of war veterans who saw three | and certain other classes of veterans an | that the pension list would not grow (| | beeause of the high mortality rate THE POLITICS REVEALED IN PENSION DEMAND OF FRENCH VETERANS Tardieu Discovers No Government Can Ignore Them When He Sought to Lighten Budget by Allocation Cut. | without legal action, been given the | mutiiated men, especially when they are fathers of families.
