Col. Miller was one of the founders
and incorporators Of the American
Legion and has been a member of
the national executive committee OF
the>Legion since it's formation. For
two years he was chairman of the
national Legislative committee in
Washington.
Upon Col. Miller's election the fol-
lowing statement was given out by
him in London:
The formative period of the F. I.
d. A. c. is terminated. Among
those conceiving it's sibilities and
aiding it's inception was the late
national commander of the American
Legion, F.. w. Galbraith. The Amer
lean Legion, potent force. in the
life of America today. is an integral
part of this organization. and we
will make the F. l. d. A. c. the same
force In international affairs. The
spirit of comradeship existing be-
tween the veterans of the eight allied
countries of the great war finds eX-
preston through the f. l. D. A. c.
and furnishes the organization
through which the influence of World
war veterans may be made universal.
The eX-Service men of the world
realize the horrors of water, for they
have suffered the mental and physical
agonies of that conflict. 1t will be
the policy of the F.. I. d. A. c. to lay
the foundation for a lasting interna-
tlonal peace, at time when Europe
IS on the threshold of return to
peaoetime conditions. No more pro-
pitious time has been offered than the
present for such a service. The fact
should not be overlooked that until
human nature is changed, nations
VIII quarrel as well as individuals.
Should it be necessary to raise armies
and navies in the future for the de-
Tense of our ideals, we will insist
that there be universal draft of
industry and all that goes with it,
as we'll as men to fight"
