The Red Flag of Old Glary
The communists are not in love
with the Legion. This alteration is
mutual. Referring to Old Glory, a
communist newspaper describes IL as
zone small piece of colored cheesecloth
stuck on the end of pole. inns
shows where the red-flagger stands.
He has no respect for his country or
his countrys government and nag.
And he hates the American Legion be-
cause he knows it is patriotic and
powerful enough to Illustrate his evil
designs. The communists and the red
flag. Or the Legion and Old Glory: 10
which standard will you rally, buddy
There is Need of True Patriotism
Many comrades who have nothing
against the Legion fail to join 1t be-
cause they see no need for such an
organization. There is no greater need
of anything in this country today than
strong organization built on patriot
ism and loyalty to comrades, commun-
ity and country. Less than month
ago the Communist Party laid plans
to send spies into the Legion and the
army and navy and appointed workers
to collect arms and ammunition and
distribute radical literature, looking
to the overthrow of government for,
by and by of the people of America.
What do the Wobblies Stand For!
The Industrial Workers, Seattle,
February Fl, 1923 contains the follow
ing as that fellow alongside of you
lined up? Ask him and see. If not, get
after him. If he is married, tell him
how to protect his wife and kids for
the future by organizing to win a
world for them. Tell him he has moth
ing to lose but his chains of wage slav-
ery. He don't know he is slave, con-
vince him that he is; prove it to him.
Of the numerous Ways that might
suggest themselves to protect the
future of ones children, that of joining
the Wobblies would never occur to
Legionaire.
The l. w. w. Know all about Wars
It's really very simple when explain
ed, however-this Wobblie program:
Ali papa has to do is to "win a world
for them. Nothing to it. The l. W. W.
know all about wars to win worlds.
They had so much experience in the
shipyards and lumber camps in 1917
and 1918, And did you know you were
a slave, buddie? Sure you are. That Is,
if YOU work for wages. If you plug
along ten or twelve hours day trying
to build home or business that will
mean a flivver for the family and
steady employment for the fellows
working with you, you are slave
You're a master" and you've gotta
be overthrown.
Millenium-For Them as Amt Got!
Just wait until the dictatorship OF
the proletariat" is proclaimed. Then
you'll see something. Slavery will be
abolished. Those who are now slaves
will be masters and the masters Will
he well, not slaves, because there
wont be no such thing, but anyhow,
they'll have to do the dirty work. And
it'll serve 'em right! Things certainly
would be changed, if the Wobblle and
Communist had their way. Them as
has got wouldn't have and them as
amt got would have. Millenium-for
them as amt got. And thats tha''
April 30-"Americanism Day.
To counterfeit the efforts OF the
yearly May Day demonstrations OF tne
radicals, American Legion posts
throughout the nation, at the sugges-
ton of National Commander Alvin
Owslev. will observe April Both as
"Americanism Day., with ceremonies
in honor of the flag and America
which will impress the youth Of the
country that this is the land OF liberty
and prosperity-rather than OF slav-
ery. as the radicals would have US
believe.
| To Protect Mentally Disabled
| Money allotted to mentally dlsapea
veterans and administered through
their guardians, must be spent In the
proper manner, else action against the
/ guardians will be taken by the Amerl-
can Legion, which in several cases
has found that guardians of mentally
crippled buddies have diverted funds
to their own use, allowing the sick vet
eran just enough for bare living. All
cases of this nature will be prosecuted
by the Legion in the name OF the men
tally incompetent veteran.
