LEGION OPPOSES

Stress and Disorder Of
Other Sessions.

~ Lus AbboClAteo PreSS.
PITTSBURGH. March 1.-THE Al.
legheny County Executive Committee
OF the American Legion expressed to-
day its 'unyielding opposition" to tho
German-American Bund, which has
scheduled meeting here for Friday.
Frederick F. Wagner, Pittsburgh or
ganizer for bund, promised a state
ment today on the meeting, originally
scheduled for tomorrow night In q
downtown hotel. The hotel manage
ment announced it had Cancelled the
gathering there and Mr.. Wagner did
not say where 1t would be held.
The Legion Executive Committee,
representing 81 posts and more than
10000 members, unanimously adopted
the resolution expressing "our un-
yielding opposition to the German
American Bund or whatever name it
may use to disguise its true char.
acter."
The resolution declared that "the
Nazi government insists that wherever
former citizens Of Germany live they
must remain loyal to the German gov
eminent rather than the nation in
which they have taken citizenship,
and added:
The German-American Bund
wherever it has met has created stress
and disorder because Of its fanatical
opposition to fundamental American
concepts"

to promote and preserve law, order,
morality. and justice ~ the unshAkable
bases Of civilized international rela-
tions.
We might, il we could reconcile our
selves to such an attitude, turn our
backs on the whole problem and de-
cline the responsibility and labor Of
contributing to its solution. But let
US have no illusions as to what such q
course Of action would involve for us
as a nation.
It would mean break with our past,
both internationally and domestically.
1t would mean a voluntary abandon.
ment Of some OF the most important
things that have made US q great ma
ton. It would mean an abject retreat
before those forces which we have,
throughout our whole national history,
consistently opposed.
1t would mean that our security
would be menaced in proportion as
other nations came to believe, that
either through fear or through unwill-
ineness, We did not intend to afford
protection to our legitimate national
interests abroad, but, on the contrary,
intended to abandon them 1T the first
sign of danger. Under such conditions,
the sphere Of our international rela-
tionships-economic, cultural, intel.
lectual and other-would necessarily
shrink and shrivel, until we would
stand practically alone among the ma
ttons, self-constituted hermit state.
Thrown back upon our own re-
sources, we would find 1t necessary to
reorganize our entire social and eco
nomic structure. The process of
adaptation to . more or less self com
tanned existence would mean less pro-
duction and at higher costs, lower liv-
ing standards, regimentation in every
phase Of life, economic distress to
wage earners and farmers, and to
their families, and the dole, on an
ever-increasing scale.
Even These Sacrifices
Would Not Prevent War.
All this We would be doing In pur-
suit Of the notion that by 20 doing we
would avoid war. But would these
policies, while entailing such enor-
NOUS sacrifices and rendering the Ma
ton more and more decadent, really
give us any such assurance?
Reason and experience definitely
point to the contrary. We may seek
to withdraw from participation in
world affairs, but we cannot thereby
withdraw from the world itself.
Isolation Is not q means to security,
1t is a fruitful source Of insecurity.
We want to live in . world which

subject Of declaring war-thAt the
Chief Executive and the Congress will
Be at any time more eager and more
likely to embark upon war than would
be the general body Of citizens, to
whom they are directly responsible2
No President and no Congress has ever
carried this country into war against
the will Of the people. On the other
hand, there Is not vestige Of doubt
that the adoption of q procedure like
the referendum plan weuld hopelessly
handicap the Government in the con-
duct Of our foreign relations in general
and would thus disastrously impair its
ability to safeguard the interests of the
Nation, in the forefront among which
Is that Of peace.
Likewise dangerous, from the view
point Of the preservation Of peace, is
the proposal that we retire from the
Far East, comprising the chief por-
ton Of the Pacific area. Unfortu.
nately, many people in this country
have wholly misunderstood the posi-
ton and policy Of our Government
In relation to that situation. Some
have vtsualized only our trade and
investment relationships with China,
or our moral and cultural interests
there, symbolized by missionary. edu-
cational, medical and similar activi-
ties. Some have concentrated their
attention solely upon the incidental
and exceptional facts of the existence
Of extraterritoriality and the main
teance of some armed forces to assist
In safeguarding our nationals against
possible mob violence and similar dis
orders-special rights which it is our
policy to give up and forces which II
is our policy to withdraw the moment
the unusual conditions disappear.
Withdrawal in Orient
Would Sacrifice Principle.
All these are important. But the
interest and concern of the United
States-whether in the Far East, in
any other part OF the Pacific area, in
Europe or anywhere else in the world
ARE not measured alone by the num-
Der Of American citizens residing in
particular country, or by the volume
Of investment and trade. or by ex-
ceptional conditions peculiar to the
particular area. There is a much
broader and more fundamental in
terest-which is, that orderly proc
esses in international relationships
based on the principles to which
have referred be maintained.
AS I have already indicated, what
Is most Of all at stake today, through
out the world, is the future of the
fundamental principles which must

pies In regard to the Pacific area,
which Is almost one-half of the world,
we would have to reconcile ourselves
to their certain abandonment and

It would be absurd and futile for
US to proclaim that We stand for
international law, for the sanctity Of
treaty obligations. for non -interven-
ton in internal affairs Of other coun-
tries, for equality OF industrial and
commercial rights and opportunities,
for limitation and reduction OF arma-

 The request of the Captain of an American cod fish schooner that his company dispatch him two dozen high-powered rifles and ammunition ostensbly for in driving Japanese fishing craft out of the Boring Sea indexes what may be chapter in the history of bitter discord over the right fish the Alaskan waters.
 Trouble of the kind indicated by the request for rifles and ammunition has been brewing off Alaska for several years due to almost continual poachng American fishing rights by Japanese Invasion of the salmon fields has been the cause of diplomatic rep Japan agreeing do what she could to discourage the practice.
 Alaska's plentiful and valuable stock of salmon threatened with extinction two decades ago. Not wisely but too well were the waters being exploited. In 1924 salmon fishing brought under Federal regulation to limit the taking of the fish and permit the spawning of adequate supplies Consequently American salmon fishermen than mildly dispeased when Japanese fishing craft appeared and exhibited disregard of the restrictions Matters made when the invaders appeared with float ing canneres of large capacity and proceeded to gobble up huge quantities of the salmon still without regard for the season or the regulations intended to safe guard the supply of the fish
