WORLD WAR VETERANS TO ASK LEGISLATION IN CONVENTION INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 4.—(United Press--—The American Legion at its national convention in San Francisco Oct. 15 to 19 will take a stand on nu- merous questions of international and national policy, as well as prob- lems relating purely to affairs of the veterans, according to reports re- ceived at national headquarters here. Resolutions adopted at the various state conventions during the last few months and which will in turn be presented at the national gathering embrace many problems of national concern. One of the principal issues to come before the gathering in San Francis- co is the question of the convocation of an international air disarmament conference.’ The movement was started a few months ago by Com- mander Owsley through the Legion Weekly. A poll taken of all United States Senators, Congressmen, newspaper editors. collage presidents and other prominent citizens expressed over- whelming indorsement of the le- gion's proposal to hold an interna- tional gathering in Washington to reduce military air forces. Recommendations made by a num- ber of state conventions of the le- gion are that the national body ehould continue !ts campaign for the conference until President Coolidge agrees to invite the Huropean na- tions to confer, The legion claims the support of a number of national leaders for the proposed gathering, including Sen- ator Henry Cabot Lodge, Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war, and others, Immigration Proposition. A proposal to suspend all immi- gration to this country for a period of five years is certain to receive the consideration of the legionnaires. The legion’s national Americaniza- tion commission: has maintained a steady flow of propaganda favoring total exclusion, and 400,000 schoo! children are writing upon the sub- ject, “‘Why America Should Pro- hibit Immigration for Five Years,” in the legion’s national essay cone test. State convention _resolutions charge that present immigration laws are unsatisfactory, because 800,000 aliens have been permitted to enter the country during the past! year, nearly twice the quota actually authorized by law. Americanization for forelgners al- ready in America is proposed in a number of resolutions to be present- ed at the national gathering. Means suggested are compulsory govern- ment schools for aliens, registration of all persons of foreign birth, and/ a broadening of the scope of patriot- te work of legion posts among for- elgners. It 1s also suggested that the legion support a bill providing for the de- portation of foreigners who have not become citizens within five years after they come to this country, Russian Recognition. ‘The Iowa department will propose a resolution protesting the recogni- tion of Soviet Russia by the United States. The resolution occasioned a sharp tilt between Hanford MacNi- der, past national commander of the legion, and Senator Brookhart, a legion member, at the Iowa gather- ing. Alaska will propose the creation of a “floating court” to naturalize for- eigners. All indications are that adjusted compensation will be again indorsed at the national gathering, Almost all state conventions held to date have expressed approval of the “bonus” meastre. which provides a choice of land settlement, home aid, vocational training “and adjusted back pay, based on the length of . 227 South Center St. of their workmanship.

Adjusted the unanimous yote of the last two conventions and legion, leaders say the sentiment for compensation is increasing in the ranks of the organ- ization this year. The welfare of disabled veterans will _be considered in many detatls at San Francisco. Many state con- ventions have gone on record favor- ing the Uberalization of the Sweet bill to provide compensation for sev- eral thousand veterans who do not come within the present regu’ations, particularly veterans suffering with tubercular and neurapathic diseases. A number of states desire the con- struction of additional hospitals by the United States Veterans’ Bureau. The convention is expected to ex- press a strong sentiment in favor of the retirement of disabled emergen- cy officers on the same status as those of the regular army. Oare of Orphans Another problem to be discussed will be the care of orphans of de- ceased veterans of the war. a le- gion committee has predicted that within eleven years after the close of the war 35,000 children of war veterans will need care. Various state organizations will bring resolutions favoring American participation in an international court of justice. Creation of a standing committee in the house of representatives to consider all veterans’ legislation is the subject of another resolution. The legion is expected to reaffirm its stand for a universal draft of capital, labor and industry as well @8 Man power in the event of an- other war, weally can be \ The Peerless Quartet Offer Two Old Standards “Silver Threads Among the Gold” “When You And I Were Young Maggie” Two of the best selections we have ever given you.
