American Legion Paris convention plan advances in 1927
The American Legion moves toward a 1927 Paris national convention with backing from the Trunk Line Passenger Association offering round trip tickets from any U S point to the embarkation port. John J Wicker predicts more groups will follow, Paris officials express cooperation, and late September 1927 is eyed as the convention time. The national executive committee discussed veterans employment, Americanization, and pacifism, while naval and air service budgets and plans for Pearl Harbor defense were also examined.
