Bonus Question Again
1t Is certain that LeRionnaires will
be particularly interested in the ac-
issue Of bonus, or additional COM
pensation. for the men who served.
The sentiment toward this question is
as divided as a retreating German di-
vision. Some favor q cash award. others
government bond gifts, others long,
term loans, and still others no bonus
at all.
1t might be good idea to make
known the sentiment Of the average
Legionnaire in this regard, SO that the
conferees will have something tangible
to present to the national law makers.
The Tribune will be glad to hear from
MI nvV1h 80 hA
tion, and will see that all angles of
the issue are given an impartial hear
ing. 1t is true that the Minneapolis
convention acted on the question by
passing the buck" back to Congress. 80
that 1t Is now strictly up to the House
and Senate to say what the compensa-
tion shall be. and there is no desire to
roll the peaceful waters. But sugees-
tions always are valued by men who
are burdened with responsibilities, and
would serve as guide to Congress.
Loyalty vs.. Radicalism
The New York County committee
has decreed that there can be no mid
die ground on the Americanism issue.
At meeting last Friday night that
lasted until o'clock in the morning
that body unanimously adopted a re-
port by the committee on un-Ameri-
can activities which contained q reso-
luton absolutely condemning disloyal
activities of every sort and pledgine
itself to help by every means within
it's power the local ana state authori-
ties to stamp out every menace to law
and order. Each of the It's posts in
New York County was urged to adopt
the same resolution and to send it, over
the signature of its members. to their
Representatives in Congress.
The State Legislature was asked in
another resolution to refuse to seat
any member in the Assembly or Senate
who "by action or word has shown
himself not in whole-hearted sympathy
with the principles Of the Constitu-
tion.' The members of the committee
on un-American activities are: Chair

National Commander Franklin d'Olier
yesterday said Of the conferences:
THE first concern Of the representa-
tives Of the American Legion who at

cent national convention will be the
welfare Of the disabled service men.
Based on q careful study Of conditions
affecting tbsse men, the American

tions to government officials and mem
bers of Congress calculated to secure
to the disabled men and their families
that liberal treatment which they have
reason to expect from the people Of q
grateful and patriotic nation.

necessary not only on the part Of Of
fcials of the Bureau Of War Risk In

tional training, on an adequate and lib
eral basis"
Through the cooperation Of r. G..
