McNutt, national commander of the American Legion, in his an- nual report made public at the op- ening session of the organization's national convention here today. Asserting the Legion stands for movements to make permanent peace more certain, Commander McNutt added that until such methods are found and accepted by all nations “this nation must provide a complete defense in any contingency. “Under present conditions,” he con: tinued, “the policy of parity with oth. er powers is essential to complete fense. Such parity must be real par- ity rather than apparent parity. If it 1s possible to achieve such parity by agreement rather than by competitive armament, the policy of the American Legion is to support such a move. Un- til such an agreement is reached the cruiser building program should be continued.” Must Be Nonpartisan The American Legion, the com- mander said in another part of his report, must confine itself to those matters which affect veterans of the World war and their dependents and to “broad nonpartisan questions of national policy.” had been asked to further many causes which, although worthy, did Rot eencern the veterans as such, di- rectly. No one is a more sincere believer in peace than the man who has known, "| personally, the horrors of war, “You didn’t claim you broke up the conference?” “No.” “Qute certain?” “Quite. “You didn't write that?” “No, I said the conference broke up but you won't find ‘I’ in front c: that.” Before Shearer was called Rear Ad- miral Joseph M.

March, former chief of staff of the army, in an address prepared for delivery at the opening session. “We all rejoice in the signing of the Kellogg treaties renouncing war as an instrument of national policy, but it would be fool- ish to imagine that wars were abol- ished by those treaties. The address said “we need, and al- ways will need, an army and a navy of a suitable strength for national de- fense.” Women Not Blind Another speaker on today’s program was Mrs. Boyce Ficklen, Jr., national president of the American Legion auxiliary, Her prepared address said “we have seen our men march away to the most terrible war in history and | ¢, we have a clearer understanding of what war means than any other group of women in America. We will not let our love of peace blind us to the fact that the possibility of war has not yet been banished from the world.” Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman, a na- tive Kentuckian, also brought to the convention a plea for parity in naval strength. His tenet, he said, was “faith, hope and parity” and the department.
