If the present ses -sion of our Congresa. would get together and pay these claims of the Worldla War Veterans in full. the face value-of adjusted service certificates, the money would flow into the ch4nnels of business;, the whee:lm of industry would again hum,; the manufacturers- and merchants'Would have again a. large body of customers, able to buy their produc and the unemployment would -be removed and the -hunger from many homes.
