Similar action throughout the coun-

Americans are credited with the
characteristic of forgetting quickly
but the men who were in service are
not going to forget the alien Stacker

to entertaining these individuals

not be neglected or laid aside"
The action will be pursuant to the
demands of the st. Louis caucus of
the Legion that the official files be
examined and that those aliens who
withdrew their first citizenship pa
pers to escape military duty be de-
ported to their native countries.
