Excellent Program Carried
Out At Hall In Connec-
ton With Stag Party;
Commander Spoke

Members of the American
Legion throughout the United
States should employ every legal
means against the development
of Naziism. Fascism and Com
munism movements in this coun-
try. was the highlight of the
speech given by Commander
Morris Bryan. of Coconut Grove
Post. guest speaker at the Birth
day Stag Party given last eve
ming in Legion Hall for all war
veterans of Key West.
Today, continued Commander
Bryan, there are approximately
100000 followers of the three
'isms' exemplified by Hitler,
Mussolini and Stain in the
United States. While this total
of un-American 'borers from
within is less than one per cent
of the total population of this
country, the number may be
greatly increased unless the Am
erican Legion and other patriotic
and veteran organizations CO.
operate, in active campaigns en-
bodying 'Americanism'. Every
legal means in diScouraging the
growth and development of these
movements should be employed
and educational efforts should be
instituted to inform the citizens
of the United States of the dan
gers of Communism, Fascism and
NaZiism to our free American in
StitutionS".
Outlines Aims
Commander BRYAN outlined the
aims and detectives of the Am
erican Legion and advocated that
all veterans should become mem
bers of the organization in order
that they might obtain every
rightful government benefit.
"Any service man who can OBJ
tain and keep private employ
ment should not call on the gov
eminent for assistance, stated
the Commander, continuing to
point out that unemployed and
disabled veterans were entitled
to ample help and consideration
from the government

POSTMASTER, Legionnaire Dr. A.
NJ. Morgan, who introduced the
speaker as well as several MEM
bers of Harvey Seeds Post of

party.
The program presented by en-
tcrtainers from various night
clubs of the city was much en-
joyed by the assembled Post
