they all talk the same language
Proof has been provided by the fact that

Nation.
Reports from these gatherings show
that-Whether II was at the business sessions

fine style
In their conventions they argued at times
over dlt terenceS of opinion. But the final de-

and for the community. State and Nation in
line with the oath that every Legionnaire
takes when he dons the overseas cap and

Henry Dudley, long ranked as an expert ON
the matter as he is in charge of Legion ma

Narll veterans is - years.
Hundreds of World War II posts have
been formed III the Legion. Thousands of the

Who would try to start 4 new business

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, either
either with or without Government regu-
lations, it is perfectly clear that living
costs are rising now and will continue to
rise Many wage workers have margin
of around - per cent above their earnings
as a result of increases in wages Govern
ment authorities in Washington seem to
agree with business men IN large and small
industries that there will be a commodity
price rise of possibly 23 per cent this year
1t seems very easy to SubStantiate these
estimates by the simple method of going to
stores in your own community. And if you
are old enough YOU will remember that the
prices of buildings and lands trebled aftel

wild at the present time.
The stock market may go crazy, but if
there are half as many crazy. people after
this war as there were after the last war,
there will be people in every community
who will wish that they had known enough
not to gamble with their savings
DID IT EVER OCCUR to you that the
United States never invaded amy country?
And we have rarely ever forced any of the
Nations in Latin America to behaVe-not
even Mexico when it rampaged. Great big
hearted old Uncle Sam has engaged in wars
this century to help out people who have
been attacked by human devils.
Hitler sunk lot of our ships with his
submarines and Japan started to murder
our people in the Philippines and Hawaii
The United States decided to go to war.
All of that adds up to the fact that il
is time to tell Russia that she doesn't be
long in our class, and we don't want tt
deal with her archaic regime
What-let those Russians in on tht
secrets of the atom bomb The good Lore
forbid. There isn't a patriotic pOlitica
for that Russia seems to want to pull away

UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS near

lost Social Security credit due to their
military service. During this time OF ser

Security deductions from their service pay.
\ veteran who served a period Of three
years has lost three years of Social Security
benefit due to no fault of his own.
These veterans fall into two cate
gores-those who left employment to en-
ter the sefvice and those who went into the
armed forces directly from school.
Veterans in the first category have dis
covered that the Social Security Act pro

reenterng civilian employment, they must
remain there for Is months before those
benefits again will accure to them on Their
survivors, Should death overtake them with
in that period, those benefits would be lost.
This is an outright penalty ON the veteran
for his wartime service.
The American Legion through It's leglS-
latiVe division is urging Congress to amend
the Social Security Act and is vigorously
pressing action on its bill II. K. 29S7 which
provides for a monthly wage credit OF at
Security account of the veteran for the
period of his military service. This figure
is considered 4 fair average of military pay
