B—6 x ROOSEVELT ASKS HELP OF LEGION First Post-Inaugural Address Urges Co-operation in Emergency. President Roosevelt last night lnvltedl the support of the American Legion and that “of all men ard women who love their country, who know the meaning of sacrifice and who, in every emer- gency, have given splendid and gener- ous service to the Nation.” The speech, his first post-inaugural address, was broadcast by the Columbia | and National systems, and had been arranged some two weeks ago at the request of the Louis Johnson, com- mander of the Legion. The brief mes- sage was delivered at the White House. The President said: “I am glad that this, the first word addressed by me to the people of this ountry from the White House, can be dedicated to the great ideals of sacrifice and service. The men of the Legion and, indeed, all veterans and all good citizens, know that the essential things | of life are related intimately to these | two great words. Necessities of Peace. “The men of the ranks of the Legion, in the trying days of 15 years ago, of- fered for the welfare and preservation of their country the ultimate contribu- tion that a human being can give. “The deep necessities of peace are no less serious. It is a mistake to assume that the virtues of war differ essentially from the virtues of peace. All life is a battle against the forces of nature, against the mistakes and human limi- | tations of man, against the forces of selfishness and inertia, of laziness and | fear. These are enemies with whom we never conclude an armistice. “To the end that the efforts I am giving in these first days of my ad- ministration may be crowned with success and that we may achieve a lasting restoration of national well | being, I invite the support of the men of the Legion and of all men and women who love their country, who know the meaning of sacrifice, and who, in every emergency, have given splendid and generoys service to the Nation.” Commander’s Reply. Immediately following the President's address, Comdr. Johnson, in a rep! declared that accomplishment of th Legion's program “would make a tre- mendout contribution to the Nation's rehabilitation “We are independent and powerful.” he said. “We are a string to no man’'s kite. We want to make true the words of Newton D. Baker, ‘The Legion is the greatest potentiai force for good in America.’ " The points in this program which Johnson stressed are its continued con- cern for the disabled soldier; the im- Bnnn:e of child welfare and the gion's insistence on non-recognition | ©of Russ! | Concerning Russia, he said ‘We have no patience whatever with any foreign government whose citizens | would come here and advocate the | overthrow of our Government by force —that’'s why we oppose recognition of | Soviet Russia. e sanctity of our| Government is of more importance than | trade with Russia. C.M.T.C. ENROLLMENT SHOWS INCREASE Camp Applications Exceed Last Year's Figures by 1,000.

PERSHING QUITS COUNCIL OF ECONOMY LEAGUE General, However, Approves Or- ganization’s Efforts to Cut Government Cost. By the Associated Press Gen. John J. Petshing yesterday re- signed as a member of the Advisory Council of the National Economy League. In doing so, however, he ex- pressed approval of the organization’s efforts to reduce the cost of govern- ment. Prolonged absences from the United States as chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission, he said, would prevent him from taking an active part in the league's work. “A successful awakening of our le to the present dangerous situati ershing said in his resignation, “is in my opinion a prerequisite to the restora- tion of equilibrium to our economic system.” Maj. Henry H. Curran, a director, in reply to the resignation predicted suc- »ss for the league’s drive. District’s Heroes in the World War Compiled by Sergt. L. E.

By the Associated Press. The Democratic party will make good its promises and legalize beer at the earliest possible moment, possibly before April 1, it was stated yesterday by the next Speaker, Representative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois. Rainey pointed out that, as the spe- cial session of Congress is to begin y, the House might be able to act on a bill to modify the Volstead act on March 20, on which day House rules permit any measure to be brought up under a suspension of the rules. “Anyhow, the question of letting the House vote on that date is being con- sidered,” he said. Passed Collier Bill. If such a procedure were resorted to, it would require a two-thirds majority for passage of the beer bill. Rainey held the belief “that majority could be obtained without much difficulty.” In the Congress that just closed, the House 'did its part in legalizis beer. It passed and sent to the Senate by a 230-to-165 vote the Collier bill which would have permitted the man- ufacture and sale, and have taxed, beer containing 3.2 per cent alcohol by weight. The Senate Judiciary Committee, however, so drastically rewrote the measure that many wets in the Demo- cratic party opposed its enactment. Among other things, the Senate com- mittee's changes reduced the legalized alcohalic content to 3.05 per cent, con- siderably less than 4 per cent by volume. Hopeful for Two-thirds. Rainey and other Democratic leaders are hopeful that because of the influx of 160 new members of their party to the House—many of whom supported the platform promise of ‘“immediate modification of the Volstead act”—the necessary two-thirds majority for pass- age under a suspension of the rules on March 20, can be mustered without difficulty. If need be, they are prepared once more to emphasize the tax feature of the proposal. The measure adopted by the last Senate included, as the new bill is likely to, a tax of $5 a barrel on the new beverage. Estimates of the an- ticipated revenue ranged from $75,000,- 000 to $300,000,000. Want a Quick, Dainty Lunch?
