The Case for the Legion

MO American may deny an interest in the
spirit. the ideals the platform. the
leadership OF the American Legion, tho
largest and best known OF our soldiers or
CARNATIONS y great many Americans have
expressed this interest. but not always in
terms OF appreciation. The purpose of tho
legion meeting in Richmond tonight, as in
Dictated by one of the leaders in the organi-
cation here. is to take cognizance of crti-
cism in the same spirit of frankness and
fricndiness which it attributes to its critics
and to attempt TO show that the legion not
only has contribution to make to the ma
ton, but is on its way to an unmistakable
fulhllment.
The meeting at John Marshall High
School will be open to the public. without
admission charge, and from the very ma
turc of the occasion, special welcome may
be expected by those whose attitude toward
tho legion is one of doubt or disapprova.
1t should, of course. go without saying
that an organization deriving its member
ship from source such as that upon which
the American Legion draws may always
claim the right OF hearing. But the right
TO he heard in this instance has other basis
than that of service rendered or that OF
peoples gratitude. Quite apart from
those considerations. the legion must claim
attention rs an American institution young
vigorous and growing, destined in all prob
ability 10 play an important part in the ma
tion's affairs The Richmond posts and
their auXiaries desire to present to the
community an honest and clear-cut expoSi-
tion Of the lcgion's ideals and program. of
the contribution it hopes to make TO the
country. Perfect accord with all of the
