 Ex-Service Men
 HThe passage of the Fordney Amer1- can Legion bill to partly recompense ex-service men for the gross injustice shown in the pay given to them iI comparison with that received by war workers employed by the government which, while requiring every sacrifice of the men in service, announced that 1t would so pay its workers that they would be exempt from the necessity of curtailing their personal requirements in the general reduction necessary to this nation.
 The principle that superior to this blanket assistance to ex-service men is the immediate realization by the government of it's responsibility to in- telligently look after those chosen by fate to make the special sacrifice to their country of their strength and health. It will not be we'll for our land when the next call comes if these are continued to be neglected. The healthy ex-seryice man is not afraid to fight for his livelihood in hfe's battles with out more than an even chance but those sick and injured, while retain ing their courage, have lost in the ser vice of, our country, their ability to compete in the daily struggle for ex- istence.

 The protection, by the government of American citizens anywhere or earth.
 The formation or amendment of the league of nations so that it's actior will be judicial rather than executive in conformity with the actions of 2 majority of the United States senate.
 'I believe that the president and the senate of the United States. both ere ated by the United States constitu- i tion, cannot by treaty delegate theil authority to a foreign tribunal nol transfer our allegiance to the edict; of a foreign congress without the con sent of the American people. Govern. ments are tolerable to a free peopl, I when they are regulated by the law: passed and enforced by their peers ane equals. America, which threw off tn, yoke of foreign control nearly cen tury and half ago, will not agaii seek it.
 T further believe that the composit I American is better physically, mentall. and morally than the average citizel of any other nation; as an example t mankind of what can be done, he is more potent benefactor to the huma race than he would be by sharing hi all, under the orders of league of na tions, with the masses of the world population, whose number is so grea that our generosity would be insignifi cant when so divided"
