COMMANDER OWSLEY j - • IN FAREWELL ADDRESS j Retiring Commander of Legion Speaks , Before Annual Convention. I Spn Francisco, Cal., Oct. 15 (By the: 'Associated Prens). —Alvin M. Owaley, re tiring national commander of the Ameri ' can Ivegion, in his farewell address today I before the organization's national conven tion. called upon the men of the Legion j “with patriot hearts, pure as gold, to re spond in this hour fraught with many lK)Hsibilifios and laden with whispers of ( of impending danger. ' “There is no back sliding for the Leg -1 ion away from the original purpose of jits founding.*’ he said, “and the constitu tion of He United States, which is the supreme law of the laud, must be upheld and 1 defended by you. “liaw and order wi}l be kept and pre-. ( served; right proclaimed and proudly asserted the Master of Might/’ Mr. Ows jloy declared. "Tlie memories of rifices as eomrades must be carefully con-, .served and he well being happiness and , prosperity of all sanctified by our devo tion to mutual helpfulness. “Onr immense treasure of national re sources must not be wasted away in prof ligate expenditure for for profit and benefit accruing to gronps and combination of capital that sometimes ac quire and keep vast holdings against the public policy and common good. Let'us theu inaugurate and freely support an extensive program for the conservation of our natural resources; reclamation of waste lands, where homes, farms and ex pression of individualism can be. built 1 and established; preserve and givt*’ full- - est protection" to our national forest re serves and parks ami the development of our waterways, rivers and canals. "The wild animal, so distinctively a part of American history, is fast passing out. so much so we may say it is nearly extinct. “Onr bird life has been slaughtered and destroyed on so extravagant a scale that they are rarely to be seen: our streams, brooks, rivers and lakes once fill ed with fish are stagnant or fished out and empty. Attention- -wisely given to protection of forest and field—dosed sea son for animals and birds—encourage ment to the state and nation for their breeding and propagation and the re stocking of all our waters with fish will in a large measure give needed employ ment to numerous workers, and draw to the Legion the acknowledgment from right thinking men and women of our con trolling desire for unselfish labor." Always and fixed in the mind of the Legion is the recognition and desire to upholtf and further the best interest of the laboring people, Mr. Owsley continued. “Ours is the song of better homes, churches and schools. The inalienable and God-given right to man to work out his own salvation in . own way and choseu rime. We, the*. Legion adhere to the doctrine that man/s greatest happi ness" is to fie found in his laughter, his labor and love.” Mr. Owsley said he brought a message of enthusiasm, "a statement of accomp lishment in Vliich we can take pride; the assurance of duty ctffcscientiously per formed : a declaration of hope and courage; a vision into the future that is radiant and- inspiring.” "When speaking to.the delegates at. New Orteans. as the newly elected nat ional commander. I <Wmniitted the Leg ion under my leadership to four compre-, hensive principles of endeavor; Hospit-, alization, rehabilitation, adjusted conipen-. sa t ion * and America n izhtion. "The separate reports of department heads appear, to me, tp speak of a con sistent progress toward a better, state for our sick and disabled comrades: a justi-, liable prediction of the passage of the Adjusted Compensation Bill by the next, Congress and the inauguration of a pa triotic American discussion and leader-, ship on matters of national education, re spect for our Flag, veteran unemploy ment. permanent endowment for decora-, tion of graves in foreign lands, an un derstanding of and a business conception of the Legion's opportunity of educating and protecting the orphan children of ser-, vice men; the announcement and intro duction to the nation and to the world dfj the Legion's advocacy of an international, conference for the limitation of air arma-. meat. America must either work for peace or prepare for war; adverewe to, and liberal support of a conservative and) adequate policy of national defense; stamping of tin* Legion in its true light before the nation as hn American insti tution whose creed ami purpose are so truly expressed in the familiar term of ‘Service to God and Country.’ “Not only has the force of the legion beeu proclaimed throughout every in the Union, but iu the lands of Cuba and Panama and on foreign soil at Lon don.
