Sweeping in its reforms, generous in its provisions, just in its interpretations, it is in my opinion, the greatest reform legislation for the disabled since the creation of the Veterans’ Bureau.

BIG SAVING FOR NAYY Disarmament Pact Means Saving of $225,000,000 at Once, Secretary of Navy Declares, Los Angeles, Sept, 15.—8crapping American warships in accordance with the Washington disarmament pact will mean an immediate saving to the government of $225,000,000, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, told congregations of the Temple Baptist and Wilshire Boulevard Congrega- tional churches here last night. He explained that the sum men- tioned covered only construction cost and that it would have cost an addi- tional $40,000,000 annually to main- tain the 28 ships, 13 of them prac- tically new, which have been order- ed scrapped. The navy's total an- nual expenditures, he said, averaged around $350,000,000. Secretary Wilbur praised Presi- dent Coolidge and of his adminis- tration, declared: “I might say without even a ment- al reservation that the government at Washingtaon is sound, honest and upright. If there has been yet any corruption, it is the exception and not the rule.” LA FOLLETTE FACES HIS BUSIEST WEEK Plans Important Address Thurs- day in New York Washington, Sept. 15.—TFacing his most strenuous week since announc- ing that he was an independent presi dential candidate, Benator Robert M. La Follette was busy today shaping up the speech he will deliver Thurs- day night in Madison Square Garden, New York City. He expects to com- plete the text before leaving for New York. No inkling has been given by Senator La Follette as to the ground he will cover in his initial €ampaign spech to an audience. Friends, however, predict that he will touch on all the issues he considers of ma- jor importance, singling several out for emphasis, Later in the campaign, they say, he will discusp the others at length. Senator La Follette, according to present plans, will not go to New York until Thursday. He will re- main there a day or two after his address, perhaps over Sunday, for conferences with political lleuten- ants and supporters.
