Motion by Henry Hoist, and second There is much misleading and false ed by Jarvis Koford, that "Dairy Day" be held on May 7, 1932. Motion propaganda relating to veterans' paper was "Thirteen billion dollars paid veterans during 1931." An investigation of this headline disclosed that the Government has spent that enormous sum on veterans, their widows and orphans, and for hospitalization and all other expenses; not just World War veterans but all veterans; hot during 1931 nor since 1917, but since 177G. The Government has expended $5,000,000,000 since 1917 on veterans of the World War, including hospitalization, cost of administration and compensation to dependent ones. justed-servic- Canning Company Contract for Peas much is $5,000,000,000? Just as much as our Government gave to foreign countries in one gift. Did Veterans Cause Present How one-ha- lf Treasury Deficit? drug-stor- ..f.,. One who holds a high position with our Government has made the charge that the present deficit in the Treasury has been caused by loans made to cerveterans on their adjusted-servic- e tificates. The charge is untrue. Two funds have been utilized in making these loans. Eight hundred and forty million dollars has been loaned from certificate fund, the adjusted-servic- e which is a res'elrve" fund built up over alperiod of years from annual ap propnations by Congress, lne re mainder has been loaned from the S vernment fund, which was created by insurance premiums paid by veterans on their Government life insurance. Not one penny has been loaned by the Treasury of the United States on these certificates. Therefore, not one penny of the deficit has been caused by such loans. Where Will the Money Come From? We need more money in circulation. This debt should be paid in Treasury notes, which will circulate as money the same as notes of the Federal reserve banks. They should be nontax- aoie and noninterest bearing, good for tne payment of all debts public and private, and should be full legal ten- der. Such payment of $2,200,000,000 will cause moderate inflation of the currency, which is very much needed at this time, and which is being advocated by the President of the United States, bankers, economists, financiers and others, and in no way endanger the gold standard. This plan can become effective at once and the money distributed in payment of the debt to the veterans to every nook and corner of America;- - wheels of industry will commence to turn to supply demands from these consumers. The payment can be made in this way without a bond issue, without additional taxes, and without paying interest. ce Dairy Day Meeting Is Held at Brigham. to-da- y. j i " , passed. Motion was made by Henry Hoist, and seconded by M. L.
