American Legion officials. investi-
gating complaints presented to them.
tound that disabled service men in
New York state had been placed in
public institutions. and that. although.
the full sum of $2 per day allowed by
the government for their care was
being collected. only 70 cents a day:
was being spent on the men. Anoth-'
or government "investigation" is on.
(if course the root of the trouble
is that New York state. like the other
dates. lacks accommodation which
can be devoted solely to the. use of,
Iter disabled veterans. and make-
.hlfts are the. result. In spite of the
bums voted by CQgress and the
many investigations already made.
matters seem to improve but slowiy.l
And abuses continue.
A very little of the effective busin-
ess management and promptness
which erected emergency hospitals
here and abroad for the. care of the
lien in vigil" time would have put ev-
. cry dinbled soldier into comfortable
rters betore. this. But "investiga-
tion.” will not do it. ~
Every investigation which Con—
gress stages means additional delay

acretarial jobs for civilians. Mean<

need aid full to receive it.
