Benjamin TH. Conner, commander of the American Legion department of France, helped frame plans for moving the 1927 national convention to Paris. National Commander James A. Ottis appointed a committee with Post Department Commander John J. Wicker to explore the migration, with Conner bearing major responsibility if Paris is chosen. Conner, a Kentucky-born lawyer, served in World War I in Paris and held several Franco-American posts before his discharge in March 1919.

Congressman Hamilton Fish Jr of New York urges World War I veterans to join the American Legion as a badge of honor and duty. He notes the right applies to eligible women in the auxiliary, and asserts membership should reach into millions rather than hundreds of thousands. He laments many young men are not yet qualified but would eagerly belong.
