that agenay of the government. This
much is known by every one, that
the present Harding national ad

nounced to the world that ex-service
men would in all such instances re

held at Kansas City. October SI, ta
November S, 19X1, passed a reeohition
calling on the administration to give
such preference to our ex-service men
without reference to the political af

"It will be readily apparent to all
Legionnaires, who reflect a moment
on this p rob leas, that the Legion,
which is non-sectarian and non-politf

the use fullness and influence of thla

matters of policy approved by the na
