Chamber of Commerce Also "Urges $400,000,000 Cut in Veterans’ Benefits: The United States Chamber of Com- merce today volced “emphatic opposi- tion” to the payment of the soldiers’ bonus before maturity date, and de-1{ manded a reduction of “at least $400,- 000,000” in Federal expenditures for veterans’ benefits. The action was takea by the cham- | ber’s board of directors in approving a report by the Committee on Federal | Expenditures, of which Matthew 8. | Sloan of New York is chairman. In op- posing cash payment of the bonus the committee said: “The veterans of the World War have been generously treated by the pro- visions of the adjusted compensation act as amended. To accede to the de- | mands for immediate cash pavment of | this unmatured obligation would place the staggering load of $2,200,000,000 on | the Treasury, with consequent strain | upon national credit and an unbalanc- | ing of the budget which might result in | national disaster, would necessitate an | inevitable increase in taxation and would be unfair to the veterans them- | selves.” In calling for a reduction of at least | ‘3400 000,000 in veterans' benefits pay- ments, the committee cited figures Near Columbia Country Club Half Block Off Conn.
