the continued growth in strength and
influence despite depressing times,
when many and various other organi

economic difficulties.

rived at the goal of one million jobs
attained for the unemployed, “creat

confidence, human sympathy and
friendliness among all the people of
the nation.”
Recounting the accomplishments of
the year. Mr. Stevens said, in part:
"In national defense, the Legion's
efforts in congress have met success
fully the onslaught of those who have
attempted to make sweeping reduc
tions both before bills have been re
ported out of committees and after
they have been passed by one branch
or the other and finally when sent to
conference. A constructive victory
was won by the Legion and loyal sen
iors. he raid, who fought for and
passed the Hale bill in the senate to
authorize the building of our fleet up
to the limit allowed under the
don treaty. This was an outstanding
accomplishment for which the Legion
has consistently worked.
"The Legion again was successful
in five distinct phases of the war de
partment appropriation bill before t
went to conference between the sen
ate and house June 18.
"There were the saving of the R.
O. T. C. compulsory training, preven
tion of the suspension of the Citizens'
Military Training and Reserve Offi
cers' Training camps, and by increas
ing the officers' reserve fund to jfro
vide for fourteen days' pay for 20,-
000 Reserve Officers a*d a larger per
iod for 722 officers. The fifth vic
tory came in preventing forced retire
ment of 2.000 regular army officers
on the rolls ”
The Legion has had a continuous
fight to protect tne rights *and pri
vileges of disabled veterans this year,
the national commander said. Among
the accomplishments of this char
acter. he listed the following, in part:
The extension of the five term gov
ernment life insurance bill sponsored
by the Legion. This measure has now
been signed by the president and thou
sands of veterans have been enabled
to retain their insurance, which other
wise would have been dropped be
cause of the increase in rates.
The Legion's request for a reduc
tion of interest on adjusted service
loans which reached the conference
stakge with prospects of the passage
of a bill reducing such interest rates
from 1 1-2 to 3 per cent.
Successful opposition to an attempt
to reduce payments to disabled vet
erans amounting to some $48,000,000.

The Legion's request for the codi

resulted in an nnusualiy large amount
of cash recoveries for veterans in

188,118.85 in cash was recovered thro

must be estimated at this time but
on the basis of the figures available
since the last national convention the
total recoveries for the present year
has steadily increased and will reach
more than $8,500,000. 1

claims in the Veterans' Administration
resulting in thousands of claims being

a close on behalf of veterans." >
The national commander declared
it “perfectly outrageous and beyond
comprehension" that the government,
during this.period of economic strain,
tried to economize- at the expense of
the disabled service men.
“The American Legion," he said,
“at its Detroit convention, adopted a
resolution which reads: 'This organ
ization, as always, protests any pro
posed economy at the epense of the
disabled, the first consideration of The
American Legion.'
“The Lord knows the first concern
of the' Legion will ever be the re
habilitation and the hospitalization of
those crippled and wounded ser
vice comrades of ours who were not
privileged to come back here to Am
ercia amd be met sound in body and
mind at our shore line by the wives
left behjpd. or.by the iittle children
who were dependent on them, or by
the mother or sweethearts. They came
back, not strong- and able tb take
■their place in society as useful mem
bers. but as human-wrecks.
“Tha* Mme group stood with you
and me not so many .years ago, with
one foot on the firing step of some
lousy tpench. They went over " beside
you and me, an<f perhaps they , fired
the shots that saved our livW. Is it
not a wonderful thihg that yOu men
bf the- Legion, seeing their predica-
ment and knowing that they 1 could hot
help themselves, hive takkn - their
cause to all the people of the nation?
You said to our public: These men
are wards of the Government. It is up
to a generous government to place
them i n institutions, and to provide
Pedx for them, that their, pain may be
bloviated unit tthey answer • thrfe'final

Care for War Orphans.
The second great care of the Legion,
the national ‘Commander said, is to
provide *. protective arm about those
children whose fathers steep in France
“Those poor little unfortunate peo
rde,” he said, “have been denied the
guiding hand of a father. Isn't It a
glorious privilege that you and I have
to step into the shod of that de
ceased comrade and take his boy or
girl by the hand and lead those tender
feet down the'straight and nariow
paths of Americanism until they reach
the straight and narrow paths of Am
erican citizenship?"
The continuation of the program to
ncrcase benfc'il legislation .n i*.
half of children is the outstanding ac
complishment of the child welfare
committee this year, the national com
mander said. The effort has been one
of education, he explained. “This
means,” he said, "that by the rime the
next sessions of 44 state legislatures
convene early in 1933. tho Legion de
partments concerned will be prepared
for proper and constructive action to
improve such legislation.
"The Legion’s support is contirt tal
ly needed as public officials waver
when pressure is brought against *ek
penditurea to carry on necessarj child
welfare.” t ' 1
Resources Ktrained. •
He Bald that there has never be<*n
a time when the resources of the Ls
gion have- been so sorely strained as
during tye’lattp* part of 1931 and this
year. "Also." he added, "never lias
there a time when the depart
*>«nk9 have wprked harder to meet
tH6 demands. There has been a mark
ed improvement in the understanding ‘
PAGE THREE
of limited resources, nationally and
locally, and a great desire on the part
of local Legion officers and member*
to insist upon and secure the neces
sary improved standards and fa
cilities.”
The efforts of ultra pacifists to
.break. do#n the basic national de
fense system of the United States haa
not been confined to legislation, the
national commander said, but haa con
tinued to extend and expand in our
schools and colleges. The American
L*gion, .he asserted, has met ithle
movement through the activities of
the Americanism Commission, which
has used every effort poesible to as
sure the continuation of our C. M.
T. C. and R. O. T. C. units in high
schools and colleges.
The Americanism commission also
has been called upon this year as
never before to comhat the growth
of communism, radical pacifism and
the propaganda of other subversive
groups
“I believe Ju;»* as certainly as I am
standing here." Mr. .Stevens said,
‘that you men who njw wear the Le
gion button, have the same stern im
pulses inside of you. deep down in
your hearts, as when you wore the
khaki of the army and the blue and
the green of the Navy and the Martne
Corps thirtten and fourteen years ago.
"I believe yob are proud of your
institutions. I believe that you are
just as good Americans as you were,
and I believe that you have peculiar
pride in seeing the smoke pouring out
from a million stacks of industry. I
know you are proud of that great
army of stalwarts who blazed the trail
yonder to the West to establish a
magnificent empire there. I know you
are proud of the traditions of your
native state and the things that your
forebears have builded here, and the
contributions that your fathers and
their have made to those of your long
past antecedents.
The American Legion has remain
ed true to its ideal of patriotic ser
vice in peace time as in war. Notable
service has been rendered our peo
ple and our nation this year. We can
not falter in the future, if proper
adequate defense. Is provided our re
public. and the ted. menace of com
munion is held in check, as haa been
done In 1932 and will continue to be
in future years with the Legion pro
