WAR AND PEACE TO
BE BIG QUESTIONS

Problems of international war and
permanent world peace will come in
for much attention at the hands Of
the American Legion during 1925, as
a result Of the mandates laid down by
the national convention held at ST
Paul.
This does not mean, 1t was pointed
out at national headquarters. that the
Legion will diminish its activity In
other lines which have engaged its
attention constantly since its creation.
National Commander James A. Drain
has announced that the chief ques-
lions which will occupy the Legion
during the coming year win be re-
Mobilization of the disabled veterans
of the war, care Of the orphans of
those men who paid the supreme sac
rifice in battle or who have died since
the end of the conflict. and the mani
fold activities of the Americanism
commission.
Questions of war and peace have
merely been advanced by the action Of
the convention TO the rank of leading
activities of the Legion Commander
Drain was directed by the convention
to appoint a world peace committee
of ten members. This committee is
to consult with other organizations,
study their plans for peace. consider
carefully the world situation as it is
and then report TO the convention at
Omaha in 1925 the most practical plan
for the Legion to work for peace
among the nations
BY mandate of the convention, one
of the major activities of the organi-
cation for 1925 will be work towards
the passage of the universal service
act which would give the government
power TO call men. money and mate
rails into its service. in case Of war,
on equal terms. With the favorable
reception which the policy has met
and with its endorsement by the great
political parties, it is expected that
the bill now pending in congress viii
be passed in the very near future.
The Legion will also endeavor to get
congress to take immediate measures
to bring the navy up TO an equality
with the British in the 5-5-3 ratio of
the Washington naval disarmament
conference. and also to place the bat
tie feet on an equal footing with the
British in gun range and power.
Further Improvements in the United
States veterans bureau are demand
ed. The planning service and the CEN
trail Office board of appeals are strong
ly criticized. Dismissal of inefficient
personnel is asked.
Offices OF the national children's
welfare committee are TO be estab-
tlshed at national headquarters. A
joint committee of twenty-seyen mem
bers is to be appointed by the Legion,
the Forty and Eight and the Legion
auxiliary to direct this work.
Creation Of a trust fund to be
formed from donations and contribu-
tions from members OF the Legion or
other persons, and to be used for the
national rehabilitation work of the
Legion, was ordered by the conven-
ton. This problem viii receive much
attention in 1925, as will also the rails
ing of an endowment fund for the chill
