AMERICAN PROTESTS. • WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. The Harding Government is undergoing criticism respecting its administration of the. homes and hospitals for ex-service men. A committee from the Disabled American Veterans was presented to President Harding with a petition setting forth that the mentally disabled veterans were victims of gross neglect, callous indifference, deliberate profiteering, and inadequate treatment. The committee charged the Government that it did not provide any hospital
facilities for insane soldiers, but was
fanning out these among various State ! asylums, which were notoriously overcrowded and inadequately equipped to treat and care for them. The committee alleged that various States, realising that a profit would result, used makeshifts instead of fully equipped institutions. Many soldiers requiring treatment were unable to go to hospitals because they have dependents.
