LEGI01KB ISSOTA OFFICER Lindell Speaks on Prepared ness; Details Legion's National Program Although the American Legion believes in peace, having better reason than any other group of Americans to know what war means, it doeB not believe that the United States should be the first to lay down its arms, Eddie Lin dell. department adjutant of Min nesota told 500 ex-service men and their ladies here Thursday eve ning at a meeting at the armory. attended by delegations from all ot the nearby cities. If there is any reason for the legion's existence, it is the need of keeping the faith, so that never again wifl this country enter a war unprepared. Lindell said. In its eight years of existence, the American Legion has never made a mistake as a national or ganisation, Lindell declared. He paid tribute to the ladies' auxil iary, and its valuable service for the disabled veterans and its child welfare work. The legion stands for conser vation, Lindell said conservation of the youth of the nation, and conservation ot resources. Lindell spoke In Portland Thursday afternoon, and his talk here was the only other one he will give in Oregon, as he is re turning at once to his home at Minneapplis. He was formerly commander ot the Minnesota de-nartment. The Shertflan post brought the largest delegation, but Dallas, In dependence, Corvallis and other nearby posts were well represent ed.
