THE America Legion knows what
disaster would be wreaked upon the
world if another such universal con-
flict should sweep it, said Drain,
referring to the world war. THE
Legion has resolved that 20 the
utmost of its power there shall be
no more such conflicts, if it is
humanity possible.
1.-The American Legion believes
that war can be avoided. But it
knows full well that there can he
no peace without justice. 1t knows
further that there can be no JUS
tice without an organized and prop
erly functioning means of enforcing
justice. That involves the creation
of some competent form of world
court
FavOrs Preparedness
The commander declared that at
the same time the Legion looks
facts squarely IN the fact, and in
view of the present international
situation, it favors a military pre-
paredness In keeping with Americas
responsibilities in the world and
