TELEPHONE 1100 The United States is facing a world crisis of changed ideals and has been impregnated by subversive forces, Niel R. Allen, Grants Pass attorney and com mander of the Oregon state de partment of the American Le gion, told the annual "Past Commanders" meeting of Med ford post in the armory last night. Mr. Allen called for a patriotic effort in regeneration. The state commander saw no Justification for the entry of this country into the European war short of self-preservation. Nevertheless he expressed the personal belief the United States would go into the war if a knock-out blow by the Germans seemed imminent. 'Mass psychology of the American people will demand it," Allen asserted. Calm Is Urged The American Legion, with a million members who know from actual experience what a world war is, should at this time of hysteria, counsel calm ness and clear thinking as the most valuable aid to the gov ernment, Allen declared. Loose talk, he said, should be curbed. Meantime this country should prepare to defend herself, for while Americans are against war, they want freedom and democratic government more than peace, Allen said. He pointed out the American Leg ion has always stood for ade quate preparedness and for 20 years has been fighting for uni versal conscription in case of war. the kind of policy Eng land has now adopted. Under the Legion's plan, he empha' sized, capital and industry as well as men would be con scripted and there would be no financial profit for anyone. Post Complimented Allen complimented the Med ford post on its patriotic acti vities, especially its youth pro gram. 'The thought of the old world is being dictated: our way, the American way of free dom, must be stressed in the right training for our young," the state commander stated "The American Legion youth program is therefore of the ut most importance."
