IN LEGION THOUGHTS,
MACN|DERPONTS OUT
Tells Convention That Bonus Fight
Is Just Started, Says Right Has Always Had
Sway in America and Sure Compensation Is
to Be Adjusted, "Sordid" Interests Played.

New Orleans, Oct. ia declaration
that the American Legion regarded the
interests of the disabled service man
as its first responsibility and that
with regard to the adjusted compen-
sation act, we've just started to fight :,
were outstanding points in the address
of Hanford MacNider, national COM
mander, delivered before the fourth an
nual convention Of the legion at its
open session here Monday.
With regard to adjusted compensa-
ton legislation" the commander de-
clared, we've only just started to
fight. The adjusted compensation leg
~islation is right-we know it is right
and right always prevails in America.
A great, well financed attack by inter
ests which we cannot help but feel are
sordid and selfish, has given us one
little setback. But those who repre-
sent the people in Washington are
with us by great majorities. No one
man. untouched by the war, without
kith or kin to those who served-no
Que group. financial or otherwise, can

what they believe to be a just obllga-

tional life appeared-never has such
power and prestige been granted. L
repeat to you words of one of the
greatest soldiers of modern times
The American Legion is the cradle
for the whole future of America
In relating here some of the few
endeavors and actions Of the national
organization there is no thought to
personal pride in accomplishment.
Gives Credit to Order
What has been accomplished you
have accomplished.
This year started a~uspiciously.
The receptions for our distinguished
guests at Kansas City and all over the
United States constituted a tremen-
dous undertaking splendidly performed.
The Foch tour as a public service not
only to our country but our allies,
gripped and held the public mind.
Starting a year Of membership
campaigning during one of the greatest
industrial depressions America has
ever experienced, the American Le-
gion has grown in membership. Its
posts active and functioning in 40 de-
partments in this country and % others
scattered over the globe. number
eleven thousand two hundred odd. Not
a day Of the year, not an hour of the
day that American Legion posts are
not in service-thousands of them all
over the world.
