One of will toe the features of the gathering men. that p parade of Promisee to havo 10,000 men In Una Many will be tn uniform. Bines the deleyatea will represent Sections of the land widely separated geographically and economically and Macs practically every ahade of thought, save the violently radical, is In it is ths legion, Impossible fxlatsnt the reault of the deliberations of ths dslegatea However, eev-rquestion of policy aro.eertain-tcome up for decision. Ths extent the legion as an organisation will bs permitted to take part In publlo affairs of a nature -- undoubtedly will bs decided. At present the United 8tates government charter under which the legion by special act of Coagreee Is Incorporated defines the organisation as and This definition Is repeated In the national Constitution of tbo legion- - By common agreement among leaders the Strictest Interpretation of the charier and the constitution has been observed In the year past. It hss manifest, however, that there la -- re-fiy- ht sx-erv- lc el o lch ' oa the part of ths member hip that If the legion Is to wield the Influenea it set out to wield It must participate to a broader extent iu publio affeira The sentiment seems to her thet this can be accomplished by a more liberal official Interpretation of the charter and the constitution, which would place the same strict Inhibition on partisan activity that now obtalna DlecwoS Bonos Mteewe. Ths convention undoubtedly will Consider measures to further the passage of legislation favorable to the disabled and ta all persona whs 'deserve compensation by reason of the time they devoted ts serving their country, from the action of the varl-ou- e state conventions It seems cer. tain that the nsttonal convention witt Pas a resolution favoring the Ford-ne- y bill, the bonus measure written and sponsored by the legion, that provides four vsrletlge of compensation for men and women. This' bill paeoed ths house and 'will eome before the senate In December, It is believed the delegatee will express approval of ths efforts of legion national officers in ths past ysar that resulted In the paaaaga of the Sweet and Wasson bills and other measures helping the disabled. The question of further toeneflcla! legislation will d discussed. Improvement of the war risk bureau, publlo health ervtc and federal board .for vocational training wilt be urged. It la certain . that the convention wilt adopt a statement of policy to guide poets and Individuals iirthsir conduct toward labor organisations and Industrial disputes, In all probability ths legions hands off policy will bs reaffirmed and steps taken to enforce that policy on all units of ths A system to provide organisation. means of disciplining members and posts that run counter to the expressed policy of the majority of legion members will be discussed and probably adopted. The national constitution falls to provide any means of putting restraint on members wbo embarrass the legion by unauthorised statements or acta This fact, according to National Commander Franklin D'Otietrhas caused ths entire Orgart- -' lzatlon to suffer from adverse criticism dlrectsd against the activities of one small post. ' Remember the Blacken. Draft dodgers end slackers generally will be reminded, that a nemesis follows them when the convention resolutions committee reports on ths legion attitude toward the unpatriotic.
