Bruadmlndednraa and Preparedness to Serve Asserted by Oregon Le gloa Official. Legion Favora Im migration Excluaion. A New Year's meseage to the min isters and members of all churches of the state has been Issued by the American Legion, department of Ore gon, through its chanlain. Rev. Frank James of Dallas, Ore. The message is made in an endeavor to place be fore religious organizations of the state the broadmindedness of the le gion organizations, its strict impar tiality and indiscrimination on relig ious issues and that its only concern is its preparedness to serve. The message in full follows: "To the Ministers and Members of All the Churches in the State of Ore gonGreetings: As we stand once more unon the threshold of another year I bring to you the heartiest greetings of the American Legion that this will be the best and most uccesBful year in all your history. And we sneak this greeting from the eincercst depths of our hearts. Wc have much for which to thank you and every reason to wish you well. We are not unmind ful of the heroically unselfish service which you rendered us by your most hearty co-operation in all projects in stituted for our comfort while en gaged in the great world struggle of a few years ago. Yes, we are the same men. al though organized under another name; we have the same high ideals and patriotic purposes, although we are fighting for them upon the more prosaic battlefield of peace. Yes, we are men from every walk and pro fession of life; our membership is composed of men from every denom ination of religion and those of no denomination; but now, as then, we stand shoulder to shoulder, as man to man. Now, as then, we know no race or creed or color; here we know neither Protestant nor Catholic, Gen tile or Jew; but one is for all, all for one, and altogether we stand for ser vice to the glorious Star-Spangled Banner and the defense of the con stitution which upholds it. We be lieve ourselves to be an organization of 100 per cent Americans ready to serve our country and our flag with the same measure of devotion in times of peace as characterized our service n the tlmea of war. And now we are about to take our stand in another sector on the bat tlefields of peace and strive to ob tain our objectives and bring to real ity the ideals for which we strive; we bespeak a like measure of your support and cooperation as charac terized your activities during the world war. With heartiest personal greetings and best wishes, I have the honor to be yours for service. FRANK JAMF.S. "Chaplain the American Legion, Department of Oregon, Dallas." tain industries," Alvin Owsley, na tional comuander, said at a recent meeting of the New Tork Bute Cham ber of Commerce, oldest organiza tion of like character in the world. "We hear much of what the coal and steel Industries need in the way of raw labor but this need la nothing to that of last winter, when a million ex-service men walked the streets and slept in parks jobless. These men had fought for America. It was their right to be given first chance at jobs." Almost any disabled vet can vouch that red tape is more of an obstruc tion than barbed wire.

Indianapolis, Ind. (National Head- quartern, American legion). Total exciuH.on of all immigration for a period of five years will be asked of Congress by the American Legion. The Legion's stand on immigration, according to a number of speakers at the recent conference, is based upon the increase in illiteracy in this country which in turn is said to be responsible for all red and bolshe vistic movements now steadily in- rcaaing in scope. The 3 per cent immigration law of lit0 was brand- d by the Legion as a failure.
