LEGION Chief
HAS PROGRAM
Tells OF Planned Fight
For Compensation
For Men

INDIANAPOLIS. June 27.-The
new national commander of the
American Legion, Major John G.
Emery, is up to his neck in the lob.
He outlined his program today espeeTy
tally for the N. E. A. papers. -
"The time is ripe to stress the adj
iustcd compensation program under
taken by the legion" he said. This
does not mean giving up one iota OF
interest in the legislative program Tor
the benefit of disabled soldiers which
is approaching conclusion.
'The five-fold adjusted compensa-
ton program, before Congress, back
of which the legion will throw its
full force, gives the service men five
options;
FIRST, to buy a farm house on
terms not available to the ordinary
person.
SECOND, to borrow money on
special terms which will enable him
to purchase city home
"THIRD, to enter course of Vo-
cational training
FOURTH, an insurance feature
with deferred payment system.
"FIFTH, the cash payment.
"The American Legion will con-
tinue to urge the men to take one
of the first four in preference to the
cash payment.
eve have been told that there are
some gold-breakers they are
called in the getting compen-
sation although not disabled. The lc-
gion will lend its aid to safeguard the
government against being imposed
upon by such men.
I'VE are going to get lcgionaires
who are sleeping on park benches in
/ New York and other cities to Kansas
| and other sections where men are
| badly needed to harvest the crops.
We haven't determined just how this
| plan will be carried out, but action
will be taken at the earliest possible
! moment.
I'VE want to stress Americanism
1t is the keystone of the arch and the
/ Americanism program will still be
going on 25 or SO years from now
long after the disabled soldiers relief
measures and other features of the
present program have been put
into full effect.
"The krNericanism program will be
directed t. making Americans better
Americans, as well as to making
4 Americans out of the foreigners who
reach our shores.
"The greatest thing the American
Legion has done, | believe, has been
to make the people Of America and
of the world understand that its mo-
tives are purely unselfish.
with the national relaxation from
/ our tremendous war effort there came
a corresponding diminution of inter-
est in public affairs on the part of
the average citizen.
"The first move of the American
Legion was to meet this danger by
rekindling the citizens interest in his
community, his state and his country.

ONLY WOMAN IN PARLIAMENT TELLS
HOW TO BRING MERE MEN TO TIME!
(By Special Correspondent

LONDON, June 24.-"Time's up,
my man. You've broken your pledg-
es. You've fought the things we are
interested in. You'll have to pass
on and out"
That's what Viscountess Astor,
American-born and the only woman
member of the British parliament,
thinks the women voters of Britain
and of America will have to say to
their elected representatives when
they 'fall down" on their pledges.
It's not an easy job to interview
Lady Astor. The trouble is that there
are only "a hours in the day, and all
of hers are intensely occupied.
talked with her at one of the
series of political receptions Lady AS
tor is giving to representatives of va
rious women's organizations and
members of both houses of parlia
ment in her home in St, James
| Square.
In one corner you might see Lord
Robert Cecil, advocate of the League
of Nations, talking with a Hindu wo-
man leader; over yonder Arthur Hen
derson, one of the heads of the Labor
party, holding an animated argument
with a pretty daughter of England's
landed aristocracy.
Nancy Astor may have title and
palaces and place in parliament, but
she's the same independent, plain
spoken woman she always was. She
talks straight United States.
4o1J bo,. hYo,oricon woman who
like the English women now have full
political power, are keenly interested
in how to use it with increasing eff
fectiveness.
cts very simple" she replied.
Zone of the ways is for the women
voters to make it clear that political
promise is real promise, and that
when it is made, the women voters,
at least, expect it to be kept.
"Too often in the past, candidates
for the British parliament, or the
American congress too, very likely,
have made platform pledges which
they forget right after election.
SIN too many cases there was no
organization and no press to go after
them with regard to this matter of
broken faith.
my idea is that the women voters,
through their various organizations,
should have flying column of speak
ers who could be sent to any part OF
the country.
Suppose Congressman Blank OF
Pennsylvania promised he would vote
for bill that would get decent con-
ditions for women workers in the fac
tories. Suppose he didn't do it. Then
that flying column could be sent into
his state to address the women vot-
crs in every city, town and hamlet.
They could call attention to the mans
promises and then contrast them with
his actions and his voters.
81 think you could soon build such
fire under that man that he would
either change his tactics or prepare
for defeat at the next election.
members of Parliament know the
women of tie country have their eyes
upon them. The women are reading
their speeches and noting how they
vote. They are taking the measure
of the men who will come to them
pleading for their votes in the next
election.
Chats what | urge the women of
Amevica to do-take the measure of
every public servant. If he falls short
