KG ION GREETS NKW YEAR A'ith a (.lorioiiH Record and B1k 1928 Program. 1 he promotion of international rrieudship through the ituccettpfu) .'onclueion of the pilgrimage of The Americanjlegion to Europe wa? the jutstauding accoiupiiahment of the organization in 1927, uiui the passage ?f the Universal Draft Act by conKress as an insurance aguinst futunwars is the principle objective of the I<egion for 11)28, according to Fklward K. Spafford, national commander. A review of the last year includes among the major accomplishments the nationwide community betterment program and an increase in membership to the highest point since 1922. 1 he 1927 membership is more than 700,000 and the members enrolled ior 1928 at this time is twice as large as for a similar period a year ago. The program for 1928 includes a continuation of both these endeavors as well as emphasizing political education, non-partisan in character, but stimulating every citizen to participate in the work of some politicST party. The Legion will attempt e* pecially to awaken the dormant votqr to his duty of going to the polls. I he Legion pilgrimage abroad jn September uttiacted farvorable world wide attention. John J. Pershing,, who was in Paris with the Legion, joined with other Americans, both in official and private life, and with the high government officials of France in pronouncing the Legion's visit as having strengthened the already existing bonds of friendship between the peoples of both nations.. Not un untoward incident occurred to mar the success of the venture. At Paris turned out en masse to welcome the Legionnaires. The city was decorated for the occasion as It never had been before. For the first time in history a foreign organization was allowed to T?*rch beneath the Arc de Triompho. In nearly every conceivable way did the French nation and the French citizen show their deep ?espect and love for the Americans. The Legionnaires and their families returned to this coun-l try with a newly awakened friendh' sympathy for their former allies, happy that the pilgrimage had been undertaken, and proud of its glorious conclusion. * ' r - Twenty thousand Legionnaires atH their relatives made the pilgrimage, attended the national convention in Fans and visited the cemeteries and battlefields. The warm reception by the French government, and the French people, surpassing all dreams was duplicated for the 243 u officials who went on the post-con', vention tour of other countries in F.urope. The journey abroad was a climax to other big endeavors in I.egion affairs. The Americapism Commission was Siven the task of projecting the pro. tfram of community Service, and special division for this work- was set up at Nation?] Headquarters here. bu,letin '-*as prepared in December a year ago. -This gave a general .pic! ture of the community bettermen1 and contained a list of somJ twenty-six different activities tn which a Legion post might engage for the betterment of its community Posts were urged to look around in heir particular communities and ascertain the thing most needed by jthe ppPTyunity that thc When requests for suggestive Information were received at Nat total Headquarters, data on the partipular subject was supplied. More than 200 varieties of activities were ear. lied on by a great majority of the more than 10,000 posts throughout the country. ~ These activities included such endeavors as thc sponsoring of Boy Sobut troops, which has been made a major effort for 1928; promotion of lumor athletic,, providing clinic, aiding hospitals, promoting park I f'aygrounds, erecting .,^.rt and obtaining , rili. lZL^U?n f?r " tW(l in one <u*ervic?

The fir,t ye,rs viid".?" hi,t?ry wer^ uaceaaarily derated to a larga-axtent to the In rnel upbuilding of the organisation, .tmw .C^T.I!^, pro<*ctlon of ?>e di??** m"d to the asaisof tmfortcmata comradat wh<> ed. More and more the Legion is finding a larger field of activity in service to community, state and nation. The Legion feels that the Universal Draft measure, to which the organization is devoting its every effort this year, is the way to permanent peace and national security, without militarism and without undue expenditures of public funds. The measure simply would place the resources of the nation in their proper spheres for immediate application when and where most needed in a time of national emergency. The United States, if this measure becomes a law, would he in the position when facing a national emergency similar to the position it was in at the end of theN World War?a position attained after many months of preparation, study and following a long period of sacrifice, both in lives and money, due to unpreparedness in 11)17. Bureaus similar to those created in the World War would function at once, and war, if it should be inevitable, would be crushed more | quickly and with less cost and sacrifice, the Legion believes. One Universal Draft measure, H. R. 4800, introduced by Johnson of South Dakota in the 60th Congresj, died in the house committee on military affairs, as did the Capper bill in the senate committee. The Johnson bill follows: "Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of Americi in congress assembled, that in the event of war declared by congress to exist which in the judgment of the president demands the immediate increase of the military establishment, the president be, and he hereby is, authorized to draft into the service nf the United States such members of the unorga iiizi'<l militia as he may deem necessary; Provided, that all persons drafted into service between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, or such other limits a.s?the president may fix, shall be drafted without exemption on account of industrial occupation. "Sec. 2. 'Phut in case of war, or when the president shall judge the same to be imminent, he is authorized and it shall Ix; his duty when, in his opinion, such emergen* \ requires it "Sec. 2-A To determine and proclaim the material resources, industrial urgunizations, and services over which government control is necessary to the successful termination yf such emergency, and such control shall be exercised by him through agencies then existing or Which ho may create for such purposes; | "Sec. 2-JB To take such steps as may be necessary to stabilize prices of services and of all commodities declared to be essential, whether such services and commodities are required by the government or by the civilian population." j Included in the Legion's legislative program at this session of congress is the appropriation of necessary funds for the adequate maintenance of the* army and navy, to the end that the historic sacrifices of men and money in past wars be eliminated in the future, and there will bo in force a policy of preparedness that will conserve liyes and dollars. The retirement and disabled emergency army officers is asked of congress toy the - Legion. The enactment of this bill was prevented in the 69th congress by a filibuster. Nine classes of American officers fought in the World War. Many in each class were permanently disabilities. Members of the ninth classes of officers have been retired by congress for their disabilities. Members of the ninth class, the emergency army officers, have not been provided for. The Legion's experts in rehibilitntion have recommended a hospital construction program based on the Legion's proposals of a year ago. Transfer and operation of the Nat:mnl Soldiers Homes to the U. S. Wtcrans' Bureau is also urged by the Legion. Relief in the form of an amendment to the adjusted compensation act in order that^ ^he comptrollergeneial will allow the payment by the Veterans' Bureau of the face value.of ,certificates to 30,000 beneficiaries is requested of congress. These are the cases of applications returned for correction and the Veterans died prior to correcting the applications. Second Week Jurori*.
