minds OF this idea at once. II Is far
from being the truth. The laws Of this
country give men the right to organize
for their mutual protection. Where
there are organizations whose interests
conflict there must necessarily be dis
putes and it is the policy Of the Amer

As an organization we have no more
right to take sides in dispute between
capital and labor than we have 10 take
sides In n dispute between political
parties. This does not mean that We
are not TO be on our guard against
radcalism. as we must always protect.
and be ready to protect, our govern
ment against the insiduous attacks of
Bolshevism and In this we will find or
ganlzed labor fighting with us.
Any power the American Legion may
have can best be displayed, not by tab.
ing sides. but by our nbilliy 10 nlolu
public opinion against the wrong AMI
in favor OF the right BY maintaining
position Of tentative neutrality We
can compel other forces and organiza
tions to be absolutely right in theii
dealings and undertakings.
In conformity with the policy an
nounced by national headquarters, Tho
New Mexico department Of the Amerl
