AMERICAN LESION TAXES STAND QN
 As|ATIc QUESTION

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Before adjourning Saturday the American Legion convention passed resolution favoring adjusted compensation to the world war veteran; strong and adeuuate air force and standing army of sufficient strength to repel invasion. The Oriental committee re- port, which was adopted by the com vention, stated that the Japanese earthquake had not solved the prob lem of Asiatic immigration, but had accentuated it. It declared that It might naturally be expected that the inhabitants of the affected districts would attempt to find an asylum here; American sympathy being appealed to as in the case of Armenian and Greek refugees. The Japanese problem is not a local but a national one in ev' cry sense of the word, and unless soon disposed off in a way to safeguard the Ideals of the American people the na tion cannot long keep from becoming involved in controversies which are inevitable. The resolution said that the people of the Pacific coast, in their resistance to Japanese aggres' sion, were performing as truly pa triotic duty as if they stood in the trenches with rifles in their hands, resisting an armed invasion.
