LEGION HEAD HITS
BONUS OR PENSION
R. H. Archer, Jr., Elected
Chief in Maryland, Says Aid
Must Be Given Disabled.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, August 24.-Rob-
ert H. Archer. IT., newly elected COM
mander of the American Legion, De-
partment Of Maryland, is opposed to
any form Of soldier bonus or pension
except as 1t may apply to veterans
wounded or suffering from an illness
caused by their services in the World
War.
He took this unqualified stand last
night In his first public statement since
his election as head of the Legion In
Maryland at the closing session of the
organizations convention in Frostburg,
Md, Saturday.
Economic Reasons.
Mr. Archer explained that he was
against "promiscuous spending" in be-
half Of ex-soldiers because of the pres
ent economic condition of the Nation.
He emphasized. however, that the
wounded and disabled must be aided
by public funds.
On the question of prohibition,
brought to the attention of the conven-
ton, he said he was in sympathy with
the action of the delegates in tabling g
resolution introduced to bring about q
discussion of light wines and beer.
Mr.. Archer defined prohibition as a
political problem" and as such was
outside the consideration Of the Legion.
Charge Is Denied.
Speaking sgain of politics as it af-
fects the Legion. he denied the charge
recently made by the Carnegie Foun-
dalton that the key men Of the Legion
throughout the United States are
political colonies" and that the or
ganization itself is being exploited po-
litically.
The commander declared political
maneuvering is inevitable within such

Legion, but asserted that the Legion g
