LEGION is NoNPoLITlCAL
National Commander Reiterates State
ment That Organization Does
Not Mix in Controversies.

Replying to an assertion that the
American Legion was engaged in po-
l1tical activity in California, made In
congress by Representative Goody-
koontz Of West Virginia, Alvin Owsley,
Legion national commander, stated:
THE American Legion reiterates
the statement that 1t is nonpolitical,
nonsectarfan organization. 1t is not
concerned whether its members are
Republicans, Democrats or Socialists,
PrOtestants, Catholics or Jews It is
the one all-lnclusive American organi-
cation of ex-service men. The first
qualification for membership must be
that man or woman served America
In her great crisis. It follows then,
naturally, that the man or woman is
qualified to serve America in peace,
now.
1.-The American Legion Is not inter
ested In the political destiny Of any
OF the great parties. A distinguished
congressman seems unable to read the
difference between loyalty to political
parties and loyalty to country. The
American Legion looks beyond and
above all consideration of party In
terest, and sees only the good Of the
country.
Mr.. Goodykoontz charges that the
Legion in California appreciates and
Is undertaking to circulate a speech
Of William G. McAdoo, delivered at
Fullerton, Cal, last Armistice day, in
which he discusses the adjusted COM
pensation bill. have no information
that this Is true. But If 1t is, must
also call the attention Of the congress-
man to the fact that for more than q
year the Legion has been circulating
to its members and to the general pub
lie the addresses of Hon. Joseph w.
FOrdney, chairman Of the ways and
means committee of the house at the
present time, and the author of the
adjusted compensation bill. If the dis
hnguished statesman from West Vir-
ginia will make good speech favor
Ing the adjusted compensation bill, the
American Legion will, in all likelihood,
give the largest circulation to his
speech that he has ever had in all his
life"

Corpse Had Got Away.

Andy carried the mail to neighbor-

One day, there having been death on
