LEGION COMMANDER
CONDEMNS INTOLERANCE

Declaring that there is no room for
intolerance in the United States, AL
win Owsley, national commander of
the American Legion, made strong
plea for American unity, regardless of
nationality or religious beliefs in an
address delivered recently at the cor
nerstone laying of the st. Vincent de
Paul church in Cincinnati, of which
Father William F. O'Connor, legion
national chaplain, is pastor
America is calling today as she
has never called before for strong
men and women to stand and preach
the doctrines Of America" Command
er Owsley said. There is no room in
America for intolerance, no thought
that should divide us, for we are liv-
ing under the supreme law of the
United States, the constitution, which
gives the right to worship God accord
ing TO the dictates of our conscience. :"
e)wsley assailed radical tendencies
prevailing in the nation in recent
years, and urged deportation of all
persons who would seek to tear down
the country's flag.

AMERICANIZATION MESSAGE

A message of Americanism will be
heard by every school child in the
state of Illinois each week during the
school year, according to details of a
plan just announced by Commander
Charles w. Schick, of the American
Legion in Illinois.
Under the plan offered by Com
mander Schick, a member of the
American Legion will be detailed to
each room of city schools, and to
country schools each week during the
school year TO discuss some phase of
Americanization.
Commander Schick has announced
that all posts of the organization will
take an intimate part in naturaliza-
tion of aliens. He hopes to work out
a plan in cooperation with churches
of all denominations, whereby the
prospective citizens will receive a
course of instruction in American his
tory and institutions, before final pa
pers are awarded.
"The Legion is really great Amer
ican organization declared Com
mander Schick. 1T embraces all
creeds, all races and almost all col
ors. It is the great melting pot in
which are fused Americas mighty
forces. 1t should be the legion's task
to perform some constructive work.
This work, / believe, should be along
the lines of maintaining the ideals of

Mark A. Moore Post No. 5, Flagstaff

In discussing vocational training of
fered by the Bureau, Director Hines
said he believed it good policy to
stand for an adequate compensation
SO that if the efforts of the disabled
men were unavailing to bring about
rehabilitation through vocation educa-
tion, conscientious care would be af-
forded by payment of sums sufficient
for upkeep. He said that he would
plead with the next congress to make
the finest type of hospitals available
to disabled ex-service enen, without
distinction in giving care and treat
ment to these men as to whether their
disabilities originated within one, two
or three years after the war. Mr..
Hines declared that he looked for a
continuation of the American Legion's
censorship of the bureaus acts, which
he said is of the highest type, and
that he, as head of the bureau, would
willingly receive such criticism.

AMERICAN LEGION WILL
SUPPORT WORLD COURT

President Harding's plea for Amer
lean entrance into a world court will
be supported by the American Legion
it has been announced at national
headquarters of the veterans organi-
zation in Indianapolis. The legion's
action was authorized in resolution
adopted at its last national convention
recommending the establishment of a
tribunal TO adjudicate disputes be-
tween nations.
Defining the attitude of world war
fighters, Alvin Owsley, legion national
commander, in a recent address deliv-
cred at Sioux Falls, S. D., said:
Let no man say this American Le-
gion has not inaugurated great
movement for world peace. We have
the honor of seeing the present adj
ministration adopt the legion's idea
Of world court plan. There must in
the end be some such a tribunal, and
Americans cannot fail to see the fall
lacy Of appealing to war for the vim
dication of international justice. |
hope with all my being for the time
when there shall be some such tri-
bunal."
Commander Owsley in the same adj
dress Indicated that the legion would
continue its fight for exclusion of i'm
migration for a period of five years.
when did it become a moral priv
ilege for a man to leave his country
when that country never needed him
as it does now?p he asked. let them
remain at home and work while
longer for their home country, so
those countries may be enabled to pay
their debts to America.
Asserting that lack of immigration
restrictions is responsible for the fact
that there are ten million illiterates
in America, the legion leader asked:
1--WE need sweeping Americaniza-
tion program to take care of these
vast numbers already within our
boundaries, but as long as the flood
gates of immigration are open we
shall never be able to get a start on
this problem. If had it within my
mower, there would be law that ev-
ery man enjoying the privileges of
this land and living under the radiance
OF the American flag who attempted
to start any bolshevism or communism
would be deported."
Raising its total to S9,211.23, Penn
sylvania retains the leadership in con-
tFibutions to the American Legion
fund to provide for the permanent an
nual decoration of graves of Ameri-
can war dead in Europe. Donations
from Legion posts and individuals dur
ing the last few days have raised the
national total for the fund to $112,-
o47.27. 1t has been estimated that
100000 will be required to decorate
the graves during the life time of war
fighters.
