PRESIDENT STARTS HOVE FOR PAYING Issues Orders to Begin Bonus Activily at Once | ‘Washington, June 13.—Directions | for administration of the bonus law, despite the fault of congress to ap- propriate funds for the purpose were given by President Coolidge in orders | to the government head affected. Director Hines of the Veterans’ Bureau was instructed to apportion | his appropriation for salarice and ex penses during the fiscal year 1925, &0 a8 to make available for the first six months commencing July 1 amounts for the administration of the law to be used by the war and navy depart- ments. In a letter today to Secretary Weeks recalling that the bonus became a law over his protest, the president said: “I am not willing, however, to let the administration of this law remain | Ppractically in abeyance until congress again convenes simply because 1 would be justified under existing con- ditions in so doing.” He added that the law, in his opin- ion, imposed certain obligations upon the executive branch of the govern- *ment “which do not permit of delay in performance.” “If this law is o be carried into ef- fect,” the lctter continued, “so as to permit of the cash payments being made within a reasonable time after March 1, 1925, as contemplated by it, | and if the other provisions of the law | are to be given reasonably prompt ad- ministrative action, it is essential that | the application forms and instructions | pertaining thereto be placed in the hands of the veterans and dependents without delay. ‘ “Arrangements have previously been made for the printing of these forms and they are now ready for dis- tribution.
