The American Legion endowment
fund has been established as a
perpetual trust with a corporation
being organized for the purpose OF
the supervision, custody, invest
ment and care of the principal, and
supervision of the expenditure of
the income. The American Legion,
by declaration of trust, turns over
to this corporation the net pro-
ceeds of all of the funds collected,
to be held las a perpetual trust for
the purposes outlined, it being un-
derstood that when the legion
ceases to exist, or the uses to which
the fund are devoted are no longer
necessary, the future of the fund
will then be determined by board
to be appointed by the person then
acting as president of the United
States, it being provided, however,
that the use at that time shall be
as nearly analogous to the present
uses as possible, and that the fund
shall be held as a perpetual memo
rial to the American Legion and
the income only 0Ap0uu0u.

of the American Legion, authoriz-
ing the raising of the endowment
fund in accord with resolutions of
the sixth annual national conven-
ticn of the American Legion, de-
clared
"That portion of this income ex-
pended for rehabilitation work will
be used to make certain for our dis
abled comrades the physical, men
tai and vocational restoration to
which they are entitled, both by in
suring the proper application in
every instance of the generous
provision made by the nation
through governmental agencies, and
by supplementing such provision
where necessary to give just relief
to them and their dependents.
"That portion of this income ex-
pended for child welfare will be
used to carry on the administrative
and relief work for the care, edu-
cation and training of orphan chill
dren of all ex-service persons"

have seen how sincerely the leaders
of that organization have endeav-
ored to bring to the attention of
congress the needs of their unfor-
tunate comrades This information,
coming after exhaustive study of
the situation in the field, has as

the senate and house to the end
