The B. E. F. was frowned upon by the American Legion which has hushed its demand for Bonus cashing. At the National Republican Club in Manhattan last week Major General James Guthrie Harbord, retired, voiced one popular view when he declared: "Nothing so ominous or so nasty as the Bonus march has been seen since 1916 when organized labor forced through the eight-hour-day railroad law under threat of strike. Not since 1783 has an army of citizens marched on the Capitol with evil in their hearts. . . . Something must be done to curb this movement. Otherwise it will spread and I don't know what may happen."
