ton Conference in New York City.

Full or provisional approval. which
is accorded by the college to hospitals
which meet a specific minimum stand
ard, has been granted this year to
1854 hospitals in the United States,
Canada and a few other countries.
This means that hospital service Of a
very high type is available to people
who recognize that hospital, like any
other institution. should be judged by
its individual character and perform
ance"
He pointed out that in 1918 only
80 hospitals were on the approved list
and that now approved hospitals are
found in most fair-sized communities
in the United States and Canada, and
even in an impressive number of small

Clear definition of organization,
duties, responsibilities and relations
in the hospitals constitution, bylaws,
rules and regulations.

with complete supervisory authority.

These subversive activities, the Le-
gion leader explained, can be con-
trolled through legislation and the
vigorous action OF public officials"
He declared. however. the Legion
had been critical of the Labor De-
partment for delaying the trial Of
Harry Bridges. West Coast c. I. o.
leader. in connection with the deporta-
ton proceedings against him,
Since the imminence of another
great world conflict growing out Of
Hitlers seizure of the Sudetenland
in Czechoslovakia, Mr.. Chadwick said
the "pacifists of a few months ago
have been singularly quiet in the past
few weeks.
Il believe those people now see the
wisdom of the Legion course"
Hits War Referendum.
Mr.. Chadwick also denounced the
Ludlow war-referendum amendment,
declaring: --.---
such a thing as q declaration Of
war should not be delayed until q
referendum is taken. Our elected rep
resentatives in Congress should con-
tinue to have the power to declare
war They have not abused that au-
thority in the past. and don't believe
they will abuse 1t in the future"
Mr.. Chadwick plans to leave Wash
ington in the next few days for the
Legion headquarters in Indianapolis,
after placing an outline of the Or
ganization's defense program before
military and naval authorities. He
already has discussed the program
