BRITISH WAR HERO
APPEALS FOR PEACE

Eloquent appeal to the American
Legion to make the preservation of
peace the foremost, quite the fore
most place In your program" was
voiced at a recent meeting of the
national executive committee of the
Legion at national headquarters at
indianapolis, Ind, by Lieut.. Col
George r. Crosfeld of London, British
World war hero and now president
of Fldac, the interallied veterans fed
Grafton in which are joined 100000
veterans of the World war In the nine
principal allied countries.
Il do ask you to do this" Colonel
Crosfield said at the conclusion OF
his address to Legion leaders assem-
bled from all parts of the United
States, 'for the sake of the dead, for
the sake of the living. for the sake
of the widows and orphans coming In
with all your force, and all your en-
ergy and your youth and your en-
thusiasm, to guide the directing finger
that writes and, having writ, moves
Onto guide it away from death and
destruction to life and construction"
The appeal of the one-legged hero
met with instantaneous response, as
wave of cheering rolled over the
senate-like chamber and national Off
GERS and members of national commit
tees joined to applaud to the echo
this appeal from the representative of
their former comrades-in-arms, signi-
flying their sympathy with Fidac's pur-
pose to guide the directing finger
away from death and destruction to-
wards life and construction.
The national executive committee
then directed the appointment of a
committee TO draw message express
ing to the veterans of the allied
countries the feeling of understand
ing and friendship" of American
Legionnaires for them. On that com
mittee were III. Nelson Jackson, chair
man of the Legion's world peace and
foreign relations commission; Henry
d. Lindsey, past national command
err; Joseph NJ. Thompson and Thomas
A. Lee, members of the world peace
commission, and ]. Monroe Johnson,
member of the national executive
committee.
The message, unanimously adopted
by the national executive committee,
was:
1--WE send our friends abroad our
sincere greetings and our warm as
surance that the spirit of admiring
comradeship born on the field Of bat
tie and tried in the fire of common
combat for the freedom of the world
burns undimmed in our hearts and
that it is our earnest hope that after
the gloom of reconstruction win dawn
once more more glorious day OF
everlasting peace among the nations
of the world
I'VE earnestly look forward to that
time when justice and fair dealing
| shall be the only considerations en-
tering into adjustments between ma
lions and prejudices and partisan pol
itics shall not influence even in the
slightest degree those who determine
the destiny Of the peoples Of the
world"
