EAGE one R LEGION CONVENTION FORMALLY OPENED (Continued trom Page One) American Legion at its recent speial meeting “The British on the island have made a remarkable recovery from the very severe punishment of last fall and the early winter. “They fully realize the terrific seriousness of tk present situa- tion and unquestionably appre- ciate it is a life and death struggle in which they are determined to win out, no matter what the cost “The morale of both the civilian population and the armed forces is excellent. The armed particularly are hungry to close with their enemy and get their hands on him. I would not like to try to land or place an invading force among them. The civilian population is unselfishly sacrific- ing and courageously carrying on “They sorely need war ma- terials, munitions, and certain food supplies, and it is definitely in the balance whether they can win without them; that is, the ac- tual delivery to them, in Great Britain, of these much needed munitions and food supplies, with which their ultimate victory is practically certain “Germany is conducting a care- fully planned, relentless, and be- sieging warfare by submarine and bomber upon English shipping, its life lines and terminals, and while the British air force is con- fident that Germany will never secure supremacy of the air over England, and the army con- fident that an invasion can not ultimately be successful, never- theless, the British realize the great threat against their ship- ping and the difficulty actually to get munitions and supplies into England. “This, in part, was our report to the national executive committee, composed of one representative from every state in the Union. “They debated and discussed our report for two da and may I say this committee repre- sentative of all lines of spolitical thought, geographical location, economic and social standing in the United States. It is a true cross-section of our country.” Emphasizing the American Le- gion does not take part in any labor disputes, National Com- mander Warner said the organiza- tion stood for law and order. “Let us consider one example which has come to your attention quite recently”, the commander said. “Outside the Ford factory | in Michigan groups of men with clubs engaged in beating into un-! consciousne: certain workmen who were proceeding unarmed|from the middle and west Gulf | and in a lawful manner to their regular place of employment “You know that it is true be- cause you saw the photographs of the actual beatings in your dail newspapers. There is no myst about it. We still have a free press in the United States, and some very alert and very courage- ous photographers went out there and got the news. So we saw law- lessness and disorder with our own eyes. Who was responsible for it? “On one side the mayor and chief of police of that community have the first responsibility. If they fail, the governor has the next responsibility. If he has not the force to maintain order, the President has the final respon sibility. Under our system of government there is no doubt abeut that “On the other side of the ques- tion, who is responsible. First the men with the clubs who did Second, the leaders s¢ men, who inspired them to do it, and from them right up the line to the national head of the organization they represent.

On the lawlessness, head-smashing tactics of men led by subordinates in the CIO, there arises a further ques- tion of their Americanism.

There is noth- -motely amusing in all this unne sary shooting. If the legionnaires in their }curious vehicles get any kick out of ranging the streets and jang- ling bells, no one cares much, but citizens who are giving a thought to the serious warfare being waged in Europe,—to expectant mothers and sick people on this congested little island—the fir- ing of these cannons is far from being funny. seems misery ing even KEY WESTER Key West, Florida, April 22, 1941 AID FOR ENGLAND Editor, The Citizen: I write to you after months of air raids that leave us the only large maternity hospital in Lon- don (England).
