Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Family Allowances, Allotments, Compensation, and Insurance for the Military and Naval Forces of the United States Provided Under Act of Congress Approved October 6, 1917 Hon. Julian W. Mack. Hon. Julian W. Mack. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen. I think that it would be well for all of you to read through the bill. I assume that very few of you are lawyers, and it may seem to you highly technical. And yet you will have to read it through, and you will have to read it through a great many times, so you might just as well begin right now While you can´t grasp it at a first reading, and probably won´t grasp all of the details at a tenth reading - none of us have been able to do that - yet you must thoroughly acquaint yourselves with the words and the interpretation of the act, and with all of the bulletins that are going to be sent out by the bureau explanatory of the act, if you are to perform the duty for which you were called here. The essential purpose of this meeting is to acquaint some men from each cantonment as thoroughly as may be possible in a three days´ session, of course relying primarily upon their own efforts to acquaint them with the purpose and scope of this bill, not, however, for their own good, but that they may be torchbearers to their fellows in the various camps and cantonments. The bureau purposes, of course, sending out literature, but there is nothing like the human touch and the human word personally delivered to bring to men a message such as this, for it is a real human message. It aims to do justice to the men. The underlying thought of the framers of this act. the underlying thought of the Secretary of the Treasury in advocating this act, and the underlying thought of Congress in enacting the law in the shape in which it has emerged, has been this: That a fair and reasonable measure of justice to the men and to their families is the least that is due them from the entire people represented by the Government. And it is that thought that we are going to endeavor to bring home to you, that thought which we hope through you to bring home to every man in the military or naval forces of the United States; because unless the men thoroughly understand the fundamental principle of this act, they wont take advantage, as we want them to take advantage, of all of the benefits and privileges that the act grants to them. Now, gentlemen, 1 have the one distinct purpose of trying as best I may to acquaint you with this law, acquaint you with it fully, and then to answer the doubts and difficulties that will naturally present themselves to you. It is not at all easy to grasp a law that covers so many different things as this does and that is so detailed in its provisions as this necessarily had to be. And yet it is absolutely essential for you to understand not only the broad outline but every single detail of most of the sections of the act.
