company and loaded with munitions
consigned to Poland, to pass through
the Kiel canal. Germany declared
that to do SO would violate her own
regulations regarding neutrality.

the case before the tribunal provided

The purpose of the organization
with which the American veterans are
affiliated is primarily for relief and
care of war veterans. Resulting from
this, quest for world peace, has be-
come prime consideration, accord
ing to the Legions announcement. AT
the convention held in New Orleans in
1922 simultaneously with that of the
American Legion the delegates voiced
principles declaring for a world peace
in a manifesto, which received un-
qualified endorsement of the Ameri-
can Legion. One of the important
clauses in the manifesto was a decla-
ration for the establishment of
world court" to outlaw war"
Material for Argument"
The American delegation will pre-
sent complete agenda to the con-
vention. Col. H. Nelson Jackson of
Burlington, VT, vice president of the
international organization, and chair
man of the Legion's committee, has
supervised the collection of the ma
terial for presentation by the Ameri-
cans. Commander Owsley sent re-
quests to many authorities on interna-
tional affairs for expressions on the
practicability of the program, and al
most without exception they were ap-
proved, the Legion announced.
Opinion from Harding.
The expression received from the
late President Harding was made
public as follows
