WALLACE SAYS

UN.SO.-Government control o

in an address at Tuskegee Institut,
before Negro leaders and farm
ers. He said:
81 am not arguing for Govern
ment programs for agriculture,
or urging their continuance.
That issue, as 1 see it, has been
settled. III one form or another,
these programs are here to stay
as long as the forces which
brought them into being remain,
and many of those show no sign
of waning"
While holding Government con
troll necessary to cope with ad
verse economic forces, Wallact
added:
"The mere fact that the gov
eminent steps in, however, Is no
panacea. Its very size has dis
advantages as well as advant-
ages.

flexible. 1t moves with steps
that are often hObbIed with red

forces which press upon us are
so strong. that government
seems the only power which can
deal with them.
eve need all our resources,
and the best possible cOOpera-
tion to make our ability to pro-
duce have real meaning. After
all, government represents our
combined strength"
Wallace defended the much
criticized AAA, declaring:
'The AAA programs have re-
suited in better care of the soil
also. They have brought higher
living standards in the South
through the production Of more
food and feed for home use"
Answering criticisms that the
AAA policy has shut off foreign
markets, Wallace said every effort
is being made to reopen them.
Wallace called for government
financing of land purchases by
tenants comparable to the pro
gram instituted by Ireland, anc
crop insurance which would in
clude building up reserves of agri
cultural commodities.
He cited land conservation

First commander of Stewart post,

now known as the Veterans of For

ellis. So when the V. F. w. goes
back to it's birthplace" and holds
its annual convention in Denver,
Colo, on September Is to 16 of this
year it will recall again the inter-
esting story of the founding of that
organization 81 years ago.
1t was a cold winter night in 1899
when some 60 men entered base
ment door of Colorado's new state
house. They were young men, lean
and hard, all of them bearing the
mark of tropical suns; some of
them jaundiced by fever or pale
from the ravages of dysentery. But
they all had a bond in common.
They had faced death and disease
together. They had known the hui
mid heat of the Philippine jungles.
They could initiate the sound of a
whizzing Malay kriss or the whine
of a Mauser bullet.
Once inside the building they
headed for a door on which ap-
peared the legend: state Board of
Capitol Managers" The new cap
itol building of a state which was
itself only twenty-three years old
was not completed at the time. Much
of the interior remained to be fin
ished; the gold-leafed dome, now
landmark in the West, had not yet
been planned. The board of capitol
managers was housed in quarters
which boosted only one desk with
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-06-25

plenty of room for fair-sized gath
ering when extra chairs were
brought in.
AS the men strolled into this
room they were greeted by Ben
Stapleton with the slow bashful
grin that has since become familiar
to hundreds of thousands of ex-
service men all over the United
States. In later years he would be-
come known as the thrice-elected
mayor of the city of Denver but at
that time he was known as a for
mer quartermaster sergeant of the
First Colorado Volunteers. Another
man who greeted them was Gen.
Irving Hale, an electrical engineer
by profession and a soldier by train

held in 1913. Here a consolidation
was effected, and Rice w. Means
of Denver named commander-in-
chief. Under his leadership, a ref
erendum vote by the membership
was taken, and he issued General
Order No. 10 which designated the
merger as: Veterans of Foreign
Wars of the United States" This
title was ratified at the Pittsburgh
encampment of 1914; and the eligl-
bility clause remains today essen
TALLY as agreed upon in Denver 80
years ago.
From that time, Veterans of For
eign Wars grew with amazing
speed. The founders, recognizing
that age of the membership would

ing, who had entered the Spanish
American war in command of reg
iment and emerged in command OF
brigade.
To him had come the idea OF
banding together men who had
campaiened together on foreign
soil under the Stars and Stripes;
who enjoyed common back
ground of friendship, privation
and mutual understanding. He
saw in the formation of such
body the possibilities for social
and patriotic benefits-not only
to members but also to the coun-
try at large. Here would be
body of seasoned veterans whose
fighting qualities might provide
a bulwark for national defense;
source of leadership and guild
ance in times of peace.
General Hale had no way OF
knowing, on December II, 1899, that
among the men who gathered at his
call, one was destined to become
United States senator from Colo
RADIO; another, the three-times mayor
of Denver; two, colonies in the
World war; a dozen or more, lead
ers in business and industry. Nor
did the men, exchanging hand
clasps with their former battle
chief, sense any history in the
making.
John S. Stewart Camp No. 1, Ma
tional Society, Army of the Philip
pines, was formed that night. The
unit was named in honor Of the
young Pueblo (Colo.) officer, senior
captain of Company A, First Colo
RADIO infantry, who was killed in a
Mariquina Valley engagement with
Filipino insurrectos, March %, 1899.
The memory of Captain Stewart
was still fresh in the minds of his
comrades when they assembled
eight months after his death to
form their society. 1t continues to
be a fresh and verdant memory in
1886. 1t is more than that-John

Foreign Wars of the United States,
has become a tradition known to
every city, town and hamlet in the
nation where a V. f. w. post exists.

1t was singularly appropriate
that the Veterans of Foreign Wars
should have originated in Denver
and have been started by former
members of the First Colorado Vol
unteers. For the First Colorado has
been first in several other re-
spects. Just "a days after President
Mckinley had issued his call for
125,000 volunteers to fight in the
war with Spain, the state of Colo
RADIO had recruited it's full quota
of 1,0S6 officers and men-twelve
companies of infantry and two
troops of cavalry-and there were
still scores Of enthusiastic young
fellows who wanted to go and were
disappointed because they had been
left behind.
