In England they paid what we call a bonus. something like $200 to each man. The money did not last very long. and when the unemployed exservice men appealed for relief to that prince of statesmen and to the high priest of diplomacy. LloydGeorge. lie advised them to emigrate. to emigrate from their own country. The exservice man has a right which no one has mentioned during this socalled debatea right to work. a right toearn a livelihood in the country in obedienice to whose laws he offered his life as a sacrifice. Something more than a mere opportunity to tramp the roads in the vain search of employment should be accorded to the soldier returning from camp or battle field.
