of the American Legion will elect
Its new national commander, vice
commanders and national chap-
Iain tomorrow and adjourn until
next October when it meets in St

The convention delegates unan
imously voted to backi the five
year stand , of the legion in favor
of adjusted compensation.' The
committee report covering, the
subject pointed put that the plan
r originally was not the legion's,
but that the legion drafted the
compensation law at the invita
tion of the ways and means com
mittee of the United States senate
The resolutions advocated by
the naval committee and adopted
by the convention, recommended
the following: ";: : .7 "

keep the United States fleet equal
to that of - Great ' Britain,' Includ
ing the establishment " and main
tenance of such bases and navy
yards as may be necessary; that
bases' on -the Pacific coast,' as rec
ommended by the Hodman board,
be developed at the earliest possi
ble time; building up of the' mer
chant marine because "if all nav
les were sunk by treaty, merchant
marines would then, be the princi
pal source of naval power and on
this basis Great Britain would, at
present, have as much power as
all of the larger nations combin
ed." . ..V:;; .?
The legion unanimously adopt
ed the aeronautics committee's
report stating that it objected
emphatically to any program
which tends to make the United
