Legion s Opinion

Tho thought which has impressed
itself most upon III" minds OF the
committee was the necessity of UNI
fyinc the efforts Of all agencies deal
ing with ,ho welfare of disabled cX-
service persons Duplication of ef-
fort, differences of opinion, pride ot
accomplishments. and. at times, mis-
UNDERSTANDING, without ono head pass
irr hnal Judgment. is detrimental IN
tho best interests OF the eN-ServicC
mon whom the Government is trying
TO help.
We cannot conceive Of greater
accomplishment for the American Lc-
gion than the securing Of the passage
of n law which will unity the efforts
of all of the Government agencies"
For these reasons the committee
recommended and the convention
unanimously approved that all az
isting agencies and all that may here
after bc created "be co-ordinated un-
der ono directing and responsible
head, preferably new Cabinet off
Ger"

There is pending in tho Hous" a

or not. II X another forward step.
But is it The best forward step? Is
not this the thought the state COM

that "in view Of the fact tho CO.

under the same head, we recommend
that the rehabilitation service be
placed under the supervision of the
Treasury Department and made a
