(Special) Sentiment that has been spread ing since the close of the world war that property, as well as all man power, should be conscripted in case the United States is in voived in another war, Is to be translated Into an active legisla tion campaign on the part of the American Legion in the coming year, it was stated by Irl S. Mc- Sherry, . vice commander of the legion department of Oregon, in ine principal address at the dis trict meeting of legionnaires which was coupled with a community gathering here tonight. ' We are coming to a realiza tion that the people today are de termined that when another war comes, all of the resources of the nation shall be completely mobil ized at the beginning of the war," the speaker said. The American Legion is not an ex-service, but a service organi sation with the realization that eternal vigilance Is necessarv to protect the institutions of America and to prevent future wars, Mr. McSherry said. The speaker described vividly three scenes which depict the sac rifices made by those who gave their lives in the war; the national cemeteries at New Orleans and at Arlington, and the monument to the Unknown Soldier at Washing ton. Americanizing Americaniza tion was another topic touched upon, the speaker . pointing out that despite the laws limltlnr im migration, 157,432 aliens came to the United States to make their homes In 1926. na - - mree mings which must be borne in mind in the Americaniza tion program, he said, are teach ing the English language, lncul caung respect for this nation's forms of government, and teach ing gradually that the citizen's on ly loyalty must be to the United States. The meeting of leeionnalres from Marion. Polk. Yamhill, Washington and Tillamook coun ties was attended by large delega tions from legion posts through out th entire district. An address of welcome wag delivered by Dr. ttankin of Newberg, and Senator Clarence Butt of Newberg was an other speaker. A vaudeville pro gram was presented, with Salem leglonnnalres taking an Impor tant part.
