The Legion Visit

One Ct the major subjects t. be discussed at tn.

states, representatives of which feel that the re-
cert anti American demonstrations in France ind
cate that members of the American Legion woulI
not be welcome in France
In this think that Missouri and other states
err. Myron T. Herrick, our ambassador in France,
has given every assurance that the demonstrations
against Americans the work Of hoodums and
that they not to be considered as indicating the
true attitude Of the French people, who, Ambassa-
dc Herrick contends, as friendly as ever
Net only Ambassador Herrick but other big men
in position to know, state that the reported anti
AM, rican feeling is a myth and that the sooner
fsrget that it ever existed the better off both
countries will be. In this contention they are alb
so'utely right There is anything to be gained
by keeping alive the enbcrs Of dssension particu-
larry when the original cause is in doubt
Ard as far the proposed visit of the legion is
concerned, by all means let it go through as orig.
inay scheduled, for. if it is called off at this time
1t will give France genuine affront The visit
of The legion was to enable the American soldiers
to aeet again those gallant French soldiers with
whom they shared the dangers and honors OF .
