A PROGRAM
FOR
PEACE
•
BY JOHN R. McQUIGG
National Commander, the American Legion
At 11 o’clock In the morning seven years ago today the
guna on the .western front suddenly became silent. The great
est conflict of the ages wws at an end. It seemed that the forces
of death, destruction and desolation were exhausted.
The cost In blood and treasure was staggering. The black
clouds of war. receding, left
behind a torn, dated and bleed
ing world, but liberty and Jue-
tice ’had triumphed, popular
government was rendered more
secure and modern civilisation
was preserved.
The victory
waa worth the price,
America helped to bring
about that victory and helped
to pay that price. From Fland
ers to the Vosges thousands of
Americans died with no other
requiem than the crash of ar
tillery, the chatter of machine
guns. Other thousands began
a period of pain and suffering
that ba« not yet run Its course.
Insofar as in us lies’ we owe
It to those who fell on Fland
ers Field and elsewhere, fell
In a belief that they were figh
ting a war to end wars, to see
to it that their desires and
dreams from peace come true.
The American Legion be
lieves that, to a great extent,
this can be accomplished by.*
The maintenance ,of ade
quate forces for Internal and
external national defense;
The prompt enactment Into COMMANDER McQUIGG
law of the principal of the universal draft, thereby taking the
profit out of war; and
The immediate adherence 'by the United States to a per
manent court of international 'Justice. *
The American Legion, in the name of the untold suffering
and sacrifice of comrades, offers this program for peace In the
hope that through* It the men and women who fought for peace
may give some further service to America and to the world.
