A. E. F. MEN ASK
IMMEDIATE AID
FROM CONGRESS
American Legion Wants Legis-
lation Giving Ex-Service Men
Deserved Consideration.

| Washington, Dec. l6-The Amer
ican Legion, through Franklin
D'Olier its grand commander has
called on congress for immediate
enactment of legislation giving
former service men the considcra-
/ ton they deserve at the hands OF
their government" Mr.. D'Olier, III
a formal statement, warned that no
policy Of false economy should be
pursued now with respect to the
disabled service men if Serious DIFF
hculties are to be avoided later by
the government"
Principles upon which the pres
ent government insurance laws were
founded, were described by Mr..
D'Olier as being entirely sound"
but the existing legislation entirely
inadequate"
He added that as result of in
formal conferences between men,
bers of congress and delegates to
the convention it was evident that
congress is not yet alive to the nee
essities of the situation.
AAAuCdA0lC kASl1OA nShCus
ut is plainly evident to the con-
ference of American Legion repre-
sentatives," the legion commanders
statement said, that if the disabled
service men and their families and
all ex-service persons in the United
States are to receive just and lib
eral consideration at the hands If
the government, which the people
of this country intended they should
receive, immediate action on the
part OF congress is absolutely nee
essary. Each state commander
presented to the senator's and con-
gressmen from his state specific leg
islation embodied in amendments 10
the Sweet and Watson bills which,
if enacted, will secure to the vet
Grams of the great war adequate and
liberal service from the bureau of
war risk insurance. the federal
board for vocational education and
the public health service.
Important to Everyone.
ut is of importance not only to
ex-service persons, especially the
disabled and their families, but also
to the people of the country that
this legislation be enacted without
delay. Ex-service men and women
are not satisfied with existing Legs
lation and regulations affecting their
welfare. Only through such meas
ures as are now recommended by
the American | epion and ,nnroyad
by the responsible government Of
hcials of the bureaus concerned, can
the disabled men and womep OBJ
tain adequate treatment and eff
cient service"
