Answer

The answer is Immediate payment of bonuses due in '45.

Explanation
Option 1: Providing veterans with free housing

The Patman Bill did not propose providing veterans with free housing. This option is incorrect as the bill was focused on financial compensation rather than housing.

Option 2: Immediate payment of bonuses due in '45

The Patman Bill, officially known as the Bonus Bill, proposed the immediate payment of bonuses to World War I veterans that were originally scheduled to be paid in 1945. This was a significant issue during the Great Depression, as many veterans were struggling financially and demanded early payment of their promised bonuses.

Option 3: Lowering taxes for veterans of World War

The Patman Bill did not address tax reductions for veterans. Its primary focus was on the early payment of bonuses, not tax policy.

Option 4: Reducing the size of the military

The Patman Bill did not propose reducing the size of the military. It was concerned with veterans' compensation rather than military size or structure.
