MORE POWER TO AMERICAN LEGION MEN
The article argues that the American Legion evolves beyond a veteran social club toward promoting patriotism and greater Americanism. It supports collaboration with the National Education Association to ensure loyalty in public schools and to identify and counter disloyal propaganda, likening it to wartime tactics against hidden enemies. It urges loyal Americans to back disarming the secret foe at home.
