 One of tLe chief aims of the inter- national fighters organization is to promote world peace, and the New Orleans this ideal the convention will decide upon means of obtaining repre- sentation for veterans at interallied and international congress. 1nterna tional exchange rates will alst' be a topic foI discussion.
 Headquarters of the federation is now at work on the preparation of data on comparative Legislation af- fecting ex-service men.
 The delegates, who will consider themselves guests of the American Legion, will meet in Paris and sail from Le Havre on the same ship Landing at New York, the dlstarl guished visitors will proceed to Wash ington, where appropriate ceremonies will be held at the tomb of tho un- known soldier in Arlington cemetery.
 Respects will be paid to the United States government and to various diplomatic representatives of the countries participating in the confer epce, although there is a definite un- derstanding that the convention of veterans in it's deliberations will not be influenced by any consideration of present day politics.
 Among the questions to be consid- cred at the conference are:
 1. Laws allowing disabled veterans living in an allied country to obtain in that country, in the same way as the native ex-service men of that country, reduction in railroad fares.
 2. The eventual hospitalization of disabled or other impecunious veter- ans living in allied countries on the same basis as his comrades who served in the armed forces of the country in which the foreigner lives.
 3. Unemployment in allied coun- tries: Arrangements to be made by which an allied government having need of foreign labor, will give pref erence to unemployedf veterans of other allied countries. This policy has already resulted in the formation of plans for employment of 50,000 iobless British veterans in the French devastated regions.
 Despite the fact that English was the language employed in the Wash ington disarmament conference, dele gates to the New Orleans meeting will hold deliberations in French. The general public will be invited to at- tend the sessions.
