' • Tp the latter Question', the basic answer is that the Legion throws 900,000 or more members and A uxiliary workers into its task, and that the sum total of what is donated locally and by ooun|y and state groups in per sonal service, In supplied, and- sometimes in cash, far exceeds tl)e basic, net, cash outlay for the %tional directing service. The endowment is to make se cure the national rehabilitation service, the backbone and cen tra l generating plant of tbe L e gion’s organisation • of 11,000 posts. ; The case of the disabled vet eran with the government, is an official, intricate, legal prob lem, - involving many technical complications. Under given sets of facts, prescribed by law, the government can extend legally specified medical or hospital treatm ent, money compensation, or vocational training. W ith in its necessary limits, tbe gov ernment oh the whole has done well, and is tending steadily to do better. I t does not and cannot have completely intimate contact with the disabled man, his family, his needs. The prpblem is that of re storing to physical, mental and spiritual health and to a status of self-support and self-respect, a man who has suffered tho wounds, disease and shock in cident to war. Government ma chinery, however ample, remains machiery. I t is limited at the top by tbe lim it of ability which government service has been able to command. I t is lim ited at the bottom by the extent of human contact possible to gov- ernment machinery.

The American Legion, operat ing under a .motto, ’’Temporary Care— Permanent C i\re," declared thkt not one of these men should be given up to a hopeless futurp of confinement apd domlcilary car« n atil every earthly .apeans o f cure had beqn tried. Expert peychiartriats, supplementing and augmenting the government etaft, were brought. Into this problem by the Legion and are still In it. The Legion is not paying them. Most of them have re fused even expense allowances. But the Legion, speaking in the name of its comradeship (or the disabled, has won them to this task. New methods have been de- veloped, and are being developed Mbn are going forth cured and well every day, who but for the long insistent b attle of The American Légion would have gone to Insane hospitals for life. This fight is being won, not by dollars, but by the spirit which the Legion and the magniflcient men who have rallied to Its aid have put into it. The dollar cost has been Insignificant com pared to the salvaging of the nerve-racked men wh,o were a hideous by-pfodset of war. T h ai small dollar cost must be as sured, as It .w ill be, by the American Legion Endowment. The providing of an American home for the orphan of every man who fell In thé nation’s service is so obviously right that It needs no discussion. These children are plainly entitled to the same chance ' in life which they wpuld have received had their father not given his Ute to America. That Is the very minimum.
