Much Discussion Over
National Prize Essay

The essay of Lambert Slominsk of
Greenbush, Mimi, submitted as state
winner in the national essay contest of
the American Legion, caused a contro-
versy to arise between Fl. J. Steel,
chairman of the department American
ism commission of the American Lee
gion and several critics of the lads
composition.
Slominski, a schoolboy of sixteen,
wrote on the Legion's announced sub
ject, why America Should Prohibit
immigration for Five Years" His
essay was adjudged best in his state
and as a consequence was given wide
publicity One Of the points made by
the boy was that ability of Slavic and
Mediterranean subraces to maintain
free institutions and democratic gov
eminent is questionable.
This called forth much criticism.
particularly from representatives Of
those races. One letter from Rev. ".
F. Mikolasek of Lankin, Y. D., declared
that the Czechosloyak race, of which
ne is a member, maintained free instf-
tutions long before America was dis
covered. This is. Of course, very true,
according to history.
But Chairman Steel cited the fact
that these people have for several
generations been under the domino
tions Of despotic monarchs and peo-
pies, They have not been able TO con-
tinue their institutions Of learning.
their forms Of free government. Steel
maintained that the boys points were
wei taken In this respect. as admls-
sion of such people was not a refec-
ton on the race itself, but on the
lords and masters of the citizenry.
In an open letter TO Reverend Mike
Issek, Steel said: Anyone who
pauses to reflect a moment will agree
that the Slav of today or Of any period,
IS ard was different in many resr acts
from the New Englanders Of Colonial
times. But the Slav is not therefore
inferior. Moreover ii is not yet deter
mined thar America will be nodded
along the lines set forth by our Puri-
tan ancestors. That is one of the
things the Legion hopes to have con
sidered and Il possible settled in the
present discussion"
The fact that such an essay brought
forth discussion was the point aimed
at in the nationwide caetest in which
nearly 100000 children competed.

q TIE O.
AMERICAN
LEGION
o. KS MEASURES FOR
DISABLED VETERANS

Recommendations of the senate COM
mittee investigating affairs of the vet
Grams bureau reflect practically every
recommendation of the fifth annual
convention of the American Legion in
regard to care of disabled veterans.
This is shown by the announcements
of the committee, which indicate that
on the major points sought by the Lee
gion rehabilitation committee legisla-
tive recommendations will be offered
to congress for action
First Of the recommendations to CO.
lncide with the Legion's views is
further decentralization of bureau af-
fairs seen in the plan suggested for es-
tabllshment of rating boards in every
district and subdistrict for the pur-
pose of hearing claimants In person.
This has long been a Legion conten-
tion.
Another of the Legion's recsmmen-
dations suggested In the committee re
port is that disability of service origin,
short Of permanent disability, be no
bar to reinstatement of war risk in
surance.
Legion suggestions further Included
in the report are increase of pay for
disabled veterans with children, to
widows of veterans with children, and
double compensation for women who
lost a son and a husband or two sons
in service; allowance for housekeep-
erS for totally helpless veterans; retro
active reduction in compensation be
forbidden except in case of fraud in
crease in burial expenses for INDECENT
veterans; opening of hospitals to vet
Grams of all American campaigns; sus-
pension Of compensation payments to
guardians of insane veterans who fail
to render proper accounting Of funds /;
and that disputed claims Oh war risk
Insurance may be taken to the courts
for judgment.
Among the most important Of the
suggestions made which are in line
with the Legion policy or rehabillta-
ton, Is that If tuberculosis or mental
diseases developed within three years
after discharge, these shall be pre-
sumed to be of service origin. which
opens the way to compensation for
thousands of veterans; and the Legion
further suggests that the hospitals be
thrown open to all veterans suffering
from mental disease or tuberculosis
without demanding proof that such
disease was of service origin.
Directions of the Legion's fight for
care of the disabled veteran is in
charge of the national rehabilitation
committee, which maintains a large
force in the national capital, with an
active service bureau in touch with
the central bureau Office and liaison
officials and committees In every dis
trict and subdistriCt.

The fight was short, but 1t went furi-

leaped to his feet and tried to wrest
the whip from Winton's hand.
Winton cut him across the face
again and then brought the stock down
on De Wits head. But the man was

saw that defeat meant the end of his
hopes of winning Shella, who stood by,
wringing her hands franticaily, and
pleading piteously, now with one man
and now with the other.

and looked at him in pitecus appeal.
