There Is N,ot, Nor Woll There Be, Political Lines But the men and women who con ceived the Legion idea believed that in peace as well aa in war could be perpetuated the fine ideals for whlcji we fought and made America a nation of Americana in 1917. The American Legion as it stands today is proof that the vision of men and women was prophetic. The Legion of today girds the world 9800 poatH, 2,000,000 members, in every city and town, every village and community in the land and In our In land and overseas possessions and In ten foreign countries. ' There Is nothing like the Legion In tho world. j It Is national, not sectional. Men and factions, absolutely irreconcilable on no other grounds, stand together' and work together in the Legion, all : for the achievement of the same Ideals. No question of creed, political : affiliation, rank or station enters. In the Legion there simply are Americans.
