simply want to crystalline the
spirit which made it possible to
get into this war and fight it as

no question-they mean to keep
out Of politics, in the sense that
they will not allow themselves
to engage in political manipula-
ton. But a vast association of
soldiers embarked upon a non
military enterprise is, on its face
at least, an anomaly. Aside from
its ayowedly secondary fratern-
al functions, the Legion can have
little or no excuse for perma-
nent existence, indeed it can not
hope to serve the country accord
ing to the language Of its con-
stitution, unless it does really
make its influence felt in the po-
litical and social life of the
country. In this broader sense,
the Legion will enter our politi-
cal life, first, because they can't
keep out, and second, because
the country needs them there

When the Treasury Department Of
the United States began attempting
to solve the financial problems that be.

world war, the United States was a
debtor nation. 1t owed vast sums to
Europe. Those at the head of the
administration did not want to I'M.
pose a burdensome direct taxation on
the people, and the Liberty Loan and
the War Savings Stamp plans were
conceived.
How successful they have been is
history. The nation has emerged
from the stigma OF being a debtor ma.

nation on earth. There is more money

States; pound them intensively
into being as an army; place up
on all of them the ponderous but
wholesome stamp Of army disci-
pline let some Of them fight to-

million back into every class and
into every square mile whence
they came and organize them in
to a quasi-military-civilian asso-
citation dedicated to work for
the well-being of their country
and what viii be the outcome?
On the answer to this hangs
the future of the newly formed
American Legion.
The daily press has given
much space to the details of this
new organization and has en-
phasized its obviously excellent
features of democracy and wide
representation. General officers
and enlisted men rub elbows in.
the same district delegations and
on the same committees, and
those born to the purple of great
American names will work hand
in hand with corporals unknown
beyond their own country villa
ges. So far SO good; but the real
test of the American Legion will
come when it first attempts to
make its influence felt in our
national life.
They are confronted by a great
opportunity, are these young A.
merican fighting men who come
back filled with a new sense of
responsibility for the welfare of
their country; they have a
great opportunity, and still
greater duty, in the leadership
which is rtady to their hands.
They have four million war
toughened veterans to draw
from-men whose unselfshl
work and sacrifice has bound
them to their country in a de-
gree that tweny years of fat
living, benefit-rectiving home
citizenship alone could never
have done.
And now it is as well-even at
the risk of seeming to howl cal
amity before the fact-to point
out the grave danger inherent in
any association of war veterans.
and show in the history of most
war-veteran movements in this
country. No matter with what
lofty ideals of public service
they may start, the unscrupu-
lous and the self-seeking soon
appear to gain control, and the
organization degenerates into a
more or less powerful and more
or less INSCRIPTIONS political
machine. Every editor, every
candidate for Office, and every
politician knows and fears the
deadly makkish menace of "the
old soldier vote; a menace the
more sinister in that it deliber-
ately and cynically over-capital-
