and Constitutional Amendment Com
mittee.
The post decided 10 take steps TO
organize a squadron of Sons of the
American Legion and a questionnaire
is to be sent to every member Of the
post urging their support in this
movement.
A tentative policy as a guide to the
American Legion in future rehsbihta-
tion and legislative matters is being
given careful study throughout the
United States, according to announce
ment of Watson B. Willer. chairman
Of the National Rehabilitation Com
mittee.
Conferences were conducted in
areas and we're attended by depart
ment officials of the Legion and auxil-
iary from surrounding States, and by
them carried back to department con-
ventions for action.
After action by these department
conventions it will be submitted TO a
vote Of the national convention in
Miami Fla, october 22-25, and, if
adopted, will become the official senti-
ment of the Legion as a whole on mat
ters of national legislation, specially
as it affects disabled veterans and
dependents.
The tentative statement, approved
by conferences so far held, declares
for the enactment into law of the
principle of universal service in time
of war. 1t has been explained at
the conferences that the Legion does
not seek to place the World War
veterans upon a pedestal, nor put
them in a class by themselves; but
to bring them out of class of handi-
cap into which they have been placed
by reason of their service, and bring
them up to the level Of those who
did not serve. In order to eliminate
what are called such inequalities in
the future, it is declared the burden
of war should be borne by all citizens
alike, and not chiefly by the youth
who is drafted to do the fighting.
while others reap fortunes and high
wages.
