parison with the price of products
sold. such as eggs and milk; that
cooperation in harvesting, and use
OF tools and labor would increase
production. Jay w. Talladay and
Clyde Breining, appointed to sum
Marie. stated. "A fair price in
the market will assure an adequate
supply OF feed and fiber" The
group favored retaining the Is

Origin Unknown
There are yet no sure explana-
lions why so much more psyche
neurosis has shown up in this war
than ever before in American rec
ords.
Coleman R. Griffith, director OF
the Bureau of Institutional Re-
search, University of Illinois sug-
gests this:
1.-The record of mental break
down now has become the great
medical problem of all time
One big problem is finding out
what was wrong with the Ameri-
can family before the war began.
" If there is to be an adequate
adjustment of returning service
men and their families, many ia
miles must put their houses in
order"
Even psychiatrists don't know all
the answers. DR.. Henry G. Link,
one of the better known American
psychologists, pointed out this in
the American Mercury:
In formally branding man a
N. p" he says, whether rightly or
wrongly, a long step has been taken
towards making him one-towards
Transforming a mild tendency into
a more serious condition"
Many psychiatrists have been
saying the same thing since the
war began. There may be a dis
pute as to who overdid the situa-
ton. There is no dispute over the
fact that now families need to
tread softly and tolerantly and
with their faculties alert to keep
from driving their sons into mem
tai institutions.

But this time Congress has en-
acted wise constructive legislation
to provide benefits for the dis
abled and all others re-entering
civil life. Larger discharge pay is
given to them to cushion the per-
iod between discharge and re-em-
ployment. Loans. scholarships, hos
pitalization, rehabilitation an d
other benefits are conferred by the
recently enacted G. 1. Bill OF
Rights.
Get Up on Legislation
But to make certain that these
men and women are going to re-
ceive these benefits conferred by

PARAMOUNT
PROBLEM OF
THE LEGION
Adequate Medical Aiten-
iion, Compensation Es-
sentidI Demands Made
BY ]. d. TALBOT
Past Department Commander


The paramount problem of the
American Legion is to see that our
disabled receive adequate medical
attention and compensation and
that the widows and orphans of
our dead are adequately taken care
of. 1t is also our duty to bend
every effort to see that jobs are
available for returning service men.
From the standpoint of our en-
tire nation, believe, that our
number one problem is the Uni
versal Draft" which we have so far
failed to have enacted by Congress.
In case Of war, draft of labor,
capital, and industry is recog
nized by all Legionnaires as the
only logical and fair solution of
solving the inequalities of war by
putting everyone on the same basis.
We in Alaska have seen the de-
plorable turnover of civilian labor
in the construction of our military
bases and we have also seen SOL
diers doing the same work at $500
per day which paid the civilian
laborers from $1,000 to $4,000 per
day and this condition, no doubt.
has prevailed throughout the Ma
ton.
My hope is that when this war
is over that we shall have such a
powerful organization that we shall
be able to overcome the bitter OPP
position and get the Universal
Service Act" written into law.
1t is highly important that the
Legion take the lead in urging
that adequate military bases be
kept in Alaska. Commencing in
1882 our Department worked un-
ceasingly, endeavoring to secure
more adequate defenses for Alaska

The time is near at hand when
millions of American young men
and women, honorably discharged
from the armed forces OF the
United States, become eligible to
membership in the American Lee
gion or some other veterans or
ganization. To many Of these young
people the name is familiar but
the specific pledge of Legionnaire
is unknown. They have no defin-
lite idea of the aims and purposes
of such an organization or why
they should join any such group.
Rather than to go into long re-
cital of what the American Legion
has accomplished for the veteran
and his dependents as an organiza-
ton, let us analyze the Legionnaire
himself, and his pledge.
He is an honorably discharged
veteran of either of the World
Wars who, in the name of God
and the United States Of America,
has associated himself with other
veterans of the same wars for these
purposes: To uphold and defend
the Constitution of the United
States of America; to see that law
and order is maintained; to foster
and perpetuate Americanism land
no other ISM. Furthermore he
is pledged to inculcate sense of
individual obligation to his COM

abled of World War I, and to the
widows and orphans OF veterans
who have answered the last roll
call. 1t has carried on relent-
less battle to secure the necessary
laws so that this service would
be available to those entitled to
and in need of it. 1t has done a
magnificent job, and the thousands
of officers and members Of the
Posts of the Legion who have SO
Fundamentally given of their time
and efforts in this behalf are to
be commended for the results
achieved.
Faces New Era
The American Legion now faces
new era in which it can make
it's contribution to the causes for
which it was founded in far greater
measure than it did for the vet
Grams of the last conflict. The
amount of service the Legion can
render to the veterans is inestim-
able, as the number now being re-
turned to civil life and who will
IIultimatly be discharged at the ter
mination of this war will greatly
outnumber those of the last war
Already many are applying to th'
Legion for aid in securing thu
benefits available for them and t.
which they are entitled.
In one respect the work of thu
Legion can be devoted to servic,
to the veteran alone. At the clos
of the last war much of the worl
of the Legion was devoted to tn,
fight to secure legislation for hos
pitalization and other benefits TO
the discharged men and women

munity, his state and the nation;
to combat autocracy wherever
found; to make right" triumph
over might" His mission is to
promote peace and good will on
earth and safeguard and transmit
to posterity those great American
principles of Justice, Freedom and
Democracy.
Soldiers, sailors and marines may
win wars but if the peace is sub
sequently lost, their efforts have
been futile and their dead have
died invain. The great task which
lies before the American Legion in
the years to come is to help win
the peace. This can be accomplish
ed only by the eternal vigilance OF
all members and by perpetuation
of the American Legion through
membership of youthful veterans Of
the present war when peace comes.
For in the American Legion we
have peacetime army, which,
fully recruited, can and will carry
on to victory in the same tradition
as did the wartime army = for
God and Country.
The American Legion should
guard against being drawn into a
race for membership yet each
Legionnaire should consider it a
duty to explain his organization SO
that the returning veteran can
make a wise choice and not be
victimized by spurious and fly-by-
night veterans organizations.

Rye, N. F., Nov. Il = (U.P) - Delegates representing 52 nations settled down today to work out the problems of international trade and world business as the international business conference entered its sec- ond day.
 Various nations presented myriad problems to the conference, with special emphasis on cartels which formed one of the major items of discussion before the $50 delegates.
 Sir Give l.. Baillieu of the United Kingdom delegation was named chairman of the section discussing 'cartels. pr. Gervashio A. DePosadas Belgrano was selected as vice chairman of this group.
 Cartels, international trade cE- ganizations, have been target of attack by the United States Depart ment of Justice. Many business men have held that since some foreign
