The-Legion has a broad program, he said, it includes first of all, se: that justice is meted out to the d. abled veterans of the World War.

A program to prevent wars in the future, but not at the’ expense of national honor.

It is a relief to have this fight out of the way, so that many people who were blinded to the work of the or- ganization can now admit there is some good in it.” Mr. Streeter declared there was not a piece of legislation on the Statute books for the aid of disabled veter- ang that did not have its inception with the Legion.
