International amity and understanding, the rule of reason, rather than the rule | of might, has been earnestly urged by the great and small of this { stalwart body of men, who can truly be said to represent the best and finest of our American people Pershing, America’s greatest military genius, polntedly asked in | his address hefore the convention | yesterday for the reason why na. tions cannot learn to deal with teach other after the same code of honor demanded among in- | dividuals. Veteran Voices View | A Legionnaire who was in the war from the beginning, who was gassed. and several times wound- ed and who bears scars that will jmark him to the grave, sald to me today: “Commander, I have seen the worst in fighting and I am sure | that if the call came for defend- ers for my country, I would be among the first to answer, But by choice I would rather die than —— g0 through it again. We don't talk about—it was hell.” If thase Wwho ' @ the ‘fighting {war it is a surety, I am econ+ ‘vlnced, that nations would seek more peaceful methods of set- tling their differences. Not a word of hatred or re- venge has been heard on any side at these great meetings; no thought has been entertained of enemies or disagreeable entangle- ments. Memories of the war have been reviewed, but only as re- | miniscences of friendly associa- tions with the brave soldiers of | France. Clouds on Horizon It has not, however, been lost sight of that there still are clouds on the political horizon. The news of the world has brought to our notice; even above the peacetul demonstrations of this unforge:- table week, that the tragedy of the peoples of the world is not played out. But the strong plea of the Commander-in-Chief of the A. E. F. for universal spreading of the spirit of friendliness mani- fest between France and America, and the concerted efforts for the abolition of war and the protec- tion of the less fortunate and smaller lands from oppression and 'hatreds and the violence of armod conflicts, has been the theme voic- ed by Foch, Gouraud, Poincare and all the leaders of the French Government and of the armies of France, We, who have been clpnest to the heart of this convention, feel confident that the visit of the Amerfcan Legion to France has fanned to greater fires not only the desire, but the determination, for world peace now and forever.
