PO|NCARE DEFEAT
SHAKES EUROPE
Refuses to Try Build Up Major
ity Among New Groups
in Chamber.

Paris-Premier Poincare accepts, the
country's verdict as being against him,
and will not try to seek, as some Of
his supporters insist a mixed majority
among the groups in the new cham
ber. Consequently, he considers his
mission ended, and will merely carry
on until the newly elected deputies
take their duties the first of June.
NJ. Poincare's decision to abstain
from all political initiative until the
legal tenure of his office expires, en-
tails, it is understood, abandonment
of his visit to Chequers Court, and the
British prime minister, Ramsay Mac
Donald, will be SO advised after the
cabinet has sanctioned his decision.
A new situation in internal policies
and method, If not in policies, in dip
lomacy are predicted by political ex-
perts. How the successful coalition Of
the eft will organize the chamber and
form a new government is conun-
drum no one appears eager to solve in
view of the conflicts likely to arise
between the different elements of the
new majority.

RADIO STATION IS
USEFUL TO LEGION

Official use Of the radio as means
Of communication with American Le-
gion members was forecast almost
year ago, but the organization has
Just begun this means of disseminating
Legion news and views to its member
ship and to the general public.
On March 80, National Commander
John r. Quinn formally OPENED lie.
gion use of the radio at station WTAS,
Elgin, Ill, as official station for the
Legion. The station Is owned by
Charles e. Erbstein, Chicago at
torney, and is located at his summer
home. Broadcasting is done on 2SS
meter wave length, which permits 1t to
be heard In all sections of the country.
Commander Quinn spoke on the pol
icies Of the Legion, enunciating the
accomplishments of the organization
for the disabled, its plans for welfare
of children orphaned by the World war
and its fight against radicalism. Word
was received by telegraph from 70
states that the Legion message had
been heard through the air.
The program is to be continued on
each Sunday afternoon and on Tues
day nights. On these occasions, some
one of the Legion's orators will speak
on certain phases of Legion activity
and musical programs furnished by Le-
gion vocalists, glee clubs, instru-
mentalists, orchestras, and bands, will
be heard.
Mr.. Erbstein's interest In the treat
ment and care Of the disabled, and his
feeling toward success of the Legion's
aims are responsible for the prefer
ring of his station.
Use of this station, If successful,
opens way of communication for the
Legion that will be unlimited, and 1t is
not impossible that the organization
will soon own and operate its own
station from national headquarters.

TnfersiDe Treatment
of Ciuic Questions

A bureau to provide intensive treat
ment Of the civic and community ques-
tons affecting the American Legion
has been made part of the activities
of national headquarters Of the organi-
zation.
The work will be under direct charge
of the Americanism commission of the
Legion, and will Immediately begin ex-
tension of the work among the 1000
posts and 1000 units of the organiza-
tion scattered throughout the nation
and in several foreign countries.
Aid and direction will be given posts
in development of their towns and
cities, of playground and recreational
work, wider use of the schools as COM
munity centers, formation of boy aLt
girl scout troops, and in every other
constructive activity for community
Improvement. This work was author
lied by an addition to the American,
ism program passed at the San Fran
cisco convention of the organization.
'Your Post and Your Town" is the
title of booklet which will be issued
by the Americanism commission, and
which is designed, not as manual
of procedure, but as examples of the
successes and failures of other Legion
groups.

To Probe Cases of Men
in Penal Institutions

Among recent departments of the
American Legion to begin surveys OF
penal institutions in their states, with
a view Of segregation of mentally un-
balanced from ordinary criminals, are
Massachusetts and Indiana.
The survey was authorized by the
national organization following dis
closures in Wisconsin that a large per
cent Of ex-service men confined in the
penitentiaries were sufferers from
mental arrangement, and were con-
fined in ordinary institutions, not re-
ceiving treatment for this disability.
This survey was instigated by Gov
ernor Blaine Of Wisconsin on sugges-
ton Of F. Ryan Duffy, now national
vice commander of the Legion, and
called national attention to the prob
lem. Immediately surveys under d.
rection of the Legion were started In
half a dozen states, with the result
that many former service men are
now receiving treatment for some dis
ability incurred in war.
In MASSACHUSETTS Wnere the survey
was ordered by Department Com
mander Clarence R. Edwards, it has
been determined that there are 400
veterans now at Deer island. num-
Der of whom may be transferred to
some institution for treatment. De-
partment Commander A. e. Ball of In
diana has arranged to make the sur
vey in his state one of the most COM
prehensive yet attempted, as the case
of every ex-service man found in
prison will be reviewed in attempts to
settle claims and pay adjustments.

The Difficulty

AS the prominent citizen was inter

secretary had no hesitation about ush-

pectus.
"What is this about?" asked the
prominent citizen.
"A proposed society to encourage
people to mind their own business"
The other looked over the prospectus
and then said: "This is, no doubt, a
good thing. But if joined ia have to
resign from six other organizations"

URGES REDUCED FARM RATES
Bloc Stands Firm Against Adjourn
ment Till Relief Bill Comes to Vote.

ment Till Relief Bill Comes to Vote.
Washington-Urged by the farm
bloc, a joint resolution was quickly
adopted by the Senate directing the
Interstate Commerce commission to
adjust freight rates to relieve depres-
sion in any basic industry and par
ticularly agriculture. 1t was adopted
with virtually no debate, Senator King,
Democrat, Utah, alone questioning the
wisdom of the policy.
Farm relief legislation is now an
outstanding issue in Congress with
the farm bloc standing against an ad
journment until some measure is en-
acted to aid agriculture.
The first fight will be made on the
McNary-Haugen bill. which will come
to test within short time in the
House If this measure fails, the bloc
is prepared to champion the Norris
Sinclair BILL while the Curtis-Aswell
bill is in the offing and may receive
attention, although it has not been re-
ported by the Senate agriculture COM
mittee.
