tional organiza ton, of which we are a part. and which could not have been accomplished except for a united and solid front given by all the departments with a million members belonging.
 What has been accomplished m Alaska by it's Department and by it's several posts will be reported by the various Department officers and Chairmen of the several commit tees. I shall mention a few items herewith
 Tt will be recalled that at the close of the last Convention, l urged the delegates on their return to their several Posts. to emphasize membership" Most of the Posts responded splendidly, and through the help given by the impetus of the membership contest between 1st Vice. Commander Raynor who spon- sored the drive for members in the Posts west and north of the Gulf, and 2nd Commander Nichols, who led the drive in Southeastern Alaska. the Department quota was reached early in the summer.
 Large Membership
 "The Departments largest mem bership was obtained in 1881. when the first half of the Adjusted Com pensation Certificates was paid. At the present time we have just about equalled the 1881 membership, and this excellent showing is no doubt due in a great measure, to the in creased efforts of the Legion work ing for the final payment of these i certificates, as well as an increased appreciation of veterans for this accomplishment in their behalf
 Another accomplishment of tre- mendous importance. which will nc doubt be reported in detail by the Department Service Officer, was the removal of several veterans of AL aska from the Morningside Hospi- tai to the Veterans Hospital at Am erican Lake. The Department has fought for this for years, and through the efforts of the Depart ment Service Officer, Dwight A i Chase, PDC, assisted by Department Adjutant Petrich, it has been ac- complished.
 Tn this connection, let me urge every member of every Post in AL aska to be ever on the alert, ano never again permit any United States Commissioner to send veter- an to Morningside When you hear of veteran being held on a charge of insanity, see to it that the Vet erans Bureau knows of the case and see to it that he is sent to a Veterans hospital

course many meetings in Juneau. It has been a real pleasure to at- tend these meetings and all were well conducted and there was every evidence that the Posts are doing real service. Post officers and mem- bers were contacted in many other places besides those mentioned above.
 New Posts Formed
 During the year, a new Post has been formed at Craig, and another is being formed at Kodiak. These Posts have not been formed through any particular effort on my part, but rather on the part of veterans in these places who want to spread the influence of the organization among the veterans of these con- munities.
 T would like to commend the eff forts of the other Department off cers, and specially that of the Ad- jutant, Comrade Petrich. I am afraid that too few of the Legion members in Alaska appreciate the time and effort our Adjutant puts forth in behalf of our organiza ton. but he does a tremendous amount Of work, and accomplishes a lot for US. He deserves the thanks of every member of the Department.
 T would like to recommend that the Department at this Convention, pass appropriate resolutions ad- dressed to the proper officials, on the following items, which I believe to be in the interests of the citizens of Alaska, as well as those of the nation as whole:
 Requesting Federal and Terri torial aid for more landing fields;
 Requesting Territorial aid for ramps in all places where pontoon planes land frequently;
 Requesting Federal and Territor- ial aid for more roads and trails, specially in mining areas;
 Requesting the Federal Govern ment to establish Naval Air bases;
 Requesting the Coast Guard Ser vice to secure some of the airplanes authorized by the last Congress, to the service that organiza- tion now gives through it's cutters;
 Requesting Air Mail Service be- tween Alaska and the States, and the service in Alaska.
 T would also like to have a reso- luton endorsing an amendment to the National Defense Act, which is being sponsored by several Legion Pests below, and which will be in troduced at the next session of Con-

 recommendations
 "A copy of the proposed amend ment came to my desk a week or so ago, and I noted that no mention was made for the organization of the Veterans Reserve Corp in the Territories. and I immediately wrote the sponsor of the amendment re- questing that the amendment be made applicable to Alaska
 The amendment proposes to or ganize veterans of the World War and to build armories for them They would have regular drill peri ods as the National Guard has. In case of war, they would be called upon to guard the local industries, bridges, ammunition plants, etc. which in the last war took so many soldiers from the regular Army.
 Tn conclusion, I want to thank you again for honoring me with your highest office, and for the pri- vilege of doing my bit for the De- partment. It has gwen me greater insight into the workings as well as the needs of the American Legion in Alaska, and in turning over the office to my successor, my interest in the Legion will not be diminished in the least. shall always be an ac- tive worker for this most wonderful organization, The American Legion.
