The national convention conven-tion of the American Legion asked that aid be given by -the national government:. The resolutions suggest 'that there be a cash bonus, or a gift of land, or aid to secure a home i in a town or city. This alternative 'system would result in giving soldiers, sol-diers, sailors and marines -the kind of help that would be preferred. Many could get along without- the leash bonus, but would appreciate aid to get a home or government land. Only by an act of congress could this-alternative this-alternative system -that the Legion asks for be worked out. Half-dozen i;t.ates have already voted aid in the form of a cash bonus making a double system when logically il should be a national undertaking. |
