Resolutions On Patriotic Issues Before The VFW
At the national encampment in Los Angeles the Veterans of Foreign Wars discussed resolutions on patriotism and elected new officers. One resolution urged Congress to outlaw the Communist party, another backed military conscription, a third pledged aid against subversive influences, and a fourth asked Congress to extend high military honors to the late Gen William L Mitchell posthumously. The body also approved measures seeking immigration limits, US citizenship for government workers, and flag salute fidelity. It also supported congressional investigation into alleged Russian fraud of disability and WW bonuses.
