live committee of the Legion at a
meeting in Columbia today
The agitation on behalf of the na
tional organization in favor of a cash,
bonus t'er all former service men is
the reason of the proposal by the
State Legion committee that there be
a convention to consider withdrawal.
in its resolution the committee
expressed the op'inion that the re
quest for cash bonus renders tbe or
ganization liable to “suspicion as t
its sincere and unselfishness of
motive, and is debasing and incon
sistent with the high ideals on which
it was founded." The position of the
Leg.on in South Carolina has always
boon against taking part in agitation
