The Fighting
Vets
BY H. e. BRIGGS

Hi! Comrades! Here we are again.
The answer to the remark, HAS
the Fighting Vet Stopped Fghting?"
is an emphatic NO. The only alibi
we have is that we can only take
care of one major engagement at
time. Now, we have some ques-
lions. Where are those news scouts
who promised to send us informa-
ton about the doings Of out Of town
vets? Remember, Comrades, this is
not one-man battle. We must all
get behind the big push or we will
not gain our objective-the 3 point
program.
In the Deep South
Atlanta, Ga. wants information
about forming a W.EISL. Post. OK.
Atlanta! We're with you. Every
Post strengthens the foundation for
the veterans demands.
Decatur, Ala.-Persecution of black
and white veterans in Alabama is
only squirting the vets to further
mass action and solidarity. Build q
Post, Decatur, and show the South
the vets mean business.
Anti-War Committee Formed
Salt Lake City, Utah is sending
out call through the W.E.SL. to
form an Anti-War Committee. New
York is sending two delegates to the
National Conference. This is the
most important thing on the Inter-
national horizon and we vets who
went through the last Capitalist hell
should get behind this Anti-War Con-
ference. Let's hear more on this from
other States.
Coming Events
The coming Legion Convention in
Chicago in October is stirring up
the rank and file legionaires to de-
mand rank and file representation
on the floor. Every post is buzzing
with news about it. And from what
your correspondent hears, there will
be plenty of rank and filters in Chi
cago to fight for the three point pro-
gram. How about it, Buddy! The
WESL pledges brotherly co-opera-
ton for the three point program.
Regional Boards
We notice that the capitalist pa
pers are Dragging about the review
boards being controlled by veterans
Yes, veterans, but what kind? We
don't want generals who are now
bankers to represent the rank anc
file. We want rank and filters to rep
resent us. Come, on Buddy, get be.

Veterans Bureau Spills the Bunk
At a meeting of the veterans bu.
reau In Boston, Judge Leon McCore
of Montgomery, Ala, sent from
Washington, D. c., told the WV
that they must be patient and patri'
otto as they were in SO. He told then
to "turn their pockets inside out ant
give until it hurts If teh government
needs the money" He blamed tn,
tax-evaders and holders of wa
bonds, not paying interest for theil
plight, but said, Let us not figh
them. Let us recall the words Of tn,
Great Carpenter. Forgive them, To-
they know not what they do Let u
initiate the treasury and pay then
off so cents on the dollar" Mutter
ings and growls were heard on al
sides. One rank and filler remarked
Great Carpenter-sounds like ,
