Soldiers and Pensions

Duffield, Marcus | March 28, 1934 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Soldiers What Next!," by Katherine Mayo. In Italy half of the injured World War veterans refused pensions to which they were entitled because they were too proud to accept money from the government. American veterans, unhampered by pride, demand pensions to which they are not entitled. In England the British Legion "refrains from approaching any Member of Parliament to advocate legislation in its behalf." The American Legion not only approaches but bludgeons Congressmen.
