"Our dead buddies pave their lives
for this emblem of freedom, but for
us there is nlven a longer period of
Vervice than they were privileged to
know,' declares llaniord MaeNider,
rational commander of the American
lpion, in his message to the state
department of the leicion urging
legionnaires to make every elfoit to
encourage the proper observance of
Wag Day, June 1 1.
'iheie are three hundred and sixty
five days in the year when the Amer
ican flag should be revered and honor
ed, but it seems very proper that there
t-hould be some one day set apart
.nen we pay special homage to the
flag of our country. This flag was
lilted to it's placed of high honor by
the death of men and the sacrifice of
women. We of the American Legion
have served the flag on the field of
tattle and we know the things for
vhich it stands."

The article recounts the fight the
Legion has waged, beginning in Ml!),
for the centralization of the three
headed government system of caring
for the disabled. This fight, centered
on the hospitalization of men in ".-can
ditlously unfit places, with half of
those needing it not hospitalized at
all," a system "rotten to the core,"
with responsibility fixed upon no one,
brought about the passage of t he
Sweet bill.
l!y forcing the passage of the Sweet
bill, the Legion caued the formation
of the U. S. Veteran's Hureau of which
Charles U. Forbe. Seattle, Wash., be
came director. Mr. Forbe was prom
ised, the Weekly declaies, complete

withhold public criticism and to fus
tend judgement until Mr. Foibes had
been given the opportunity to untangle
