I say " No.. I will only distinguish between them on the basis of disability. I can not support a measure which will take the recently arrived immigrant who takes out his first citizenship papers and. with a fine spirit of loyalty. enlists in the Army of the United States in the great emergency. and loses a leg. and pay that man less for the loss of his leg than the man who happened to be a sergeant. just over him. That is the principle of this bill. although the bill does not affect enlisted men at all. If we distinguish between officers rank by rank. we will have to distinguish between the enlisted men grade by grade. and we would reach an impossible situation. and one fraught with injustice. one which we would never be able to defend.
