which was the leauing Topic OF us
cussion, measure was passed by us,
as we'll as by the Legion, that our
work would be to thoroughly Ameri-
canize every man, woman and child
in the United States, the proper use
of the flag would be taught in the
schools: and that we petition Con-
gress to pass bill prohibiting immi-
grafton for period of ten years; and,
as Commander Owsley said, I'VE are
to see to 1t that there Is but one flag
in our country, and it won't be the
red flag"
A measure was also passed to pc
tition our government to have all gov
ernment clothes dyed before being Of
fered for sale to the public and in
that way the uniform of the American
soldier will be worn only by those
who wore 1t in time of war, and they
will be distinguished from those who
are not entitled to wear 1t. There
are innumerable takers wearing the
uniform. and portions of 1t is worn
also in every walk of life. AS 1t is
now, the uniform OF the American sol.
dier means nothing.
In the mattera of disqualification,
which was of course the most en-
crossing subject and the one which
we are all, most interested, each unit
is to give all IT can to the state for
hospital work, just as we have al.
ways done, and a motion was made
and carried that tax of one cent per
capita be made this to be taken out
OF the national dues and put in a
hospital fund to be drawn on by
states who cannot properly take care
of all the work in the hospitals Of their
state, This was done because there
are some states who have no hospitals,
but some of their boys are probably
in hospitals in other states and in
order to equalize the burden and help
the states who are taking care of their
boys, it was decided that this was the
best procedure.
Many states had already sent con,
tributions of money to National Head
quarters to be used by other states
who needed ii. and this plan may be
carried on also.
The Committee on resolutions, on
which Miss Phyllis French served, was
probably the busiest committee of the
Convention. They had stacks of reso.
lutions handed to them to pass on, and
they did not finish in time to have
their final report read before the Con-
vention body, and II was therefore
turned over to the National Executive
Committee for consideration and ap.
proval.
was on the Committee OF Rules of
Convention, which remained much the
same as those Of the previous conven-
tion, and on the Committee of Organ
ization and Unit Activities, and we de-
cided that many of the subjects un-
der this head could be transferred to
other committees, and practically do
away with this committee, and with
the National Chairman of the COM
mittee.
Under the heading OF Organization
and Unit Activities were the follow
ing subdivisions: Reconstruction; For.
eign Affairs and immigration; Elm.
blems: Unit Activities; Ceremonials;
Memorials and Flag.
II was recommended that Recon
struction be put under the Hospitil.
ization Committee Foreign Affairs and
immigration and Flag, under Ameri-
canism Committee.
l was also appointed on sub.com.
mittee to bring in recommendation
as to Memorials, and we submitted
the following suggestions to be EN-
bodied In resolution:
l. That every effort be made for
every unit in the United States to OBJ
serve May sOth as National Memorial
Day.
