It must find its regiments unbroken next December, January and February when it goes into battle against the strongest force which has ever been arrayed to oppose the World War service man. When Congress convenes in December, the battle will begin. In the name of governmental economy, the World War veteran's foe will strike indiscriminately at every right which Congress has given the service man. The American Legion must meet the onslaught with its own full strength. Every 1933 member signed up in October and November will have his needed place on the firing line.
