Legion Censures Ham Fish At 23rd American Legion Meet
The 23rd annual American Legion convention adopted a resolution accusing Republican Representative Hamilton Fish of New York and other isolationists of permitting use of the franking privilege by George Sylvester Viereck and the America First Committee to spread propaganda against the United States. Libonati urged dropping Fish from the resolution, but failed. The document cites a mailed Fish frank from San Diego to De Aryan’s mailing list and a reprint of Fish remarks on Alien and Sedition Act amendments viewed as weakening government prosecutions. The Legion urged Congress to curb misuse of the franking privilege and asked the Attorney General to act. Viereck was sentenced earlier for violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. William Green of the AFL pledged labor support to keep production uninterrupted, while noting some Legion spokesmen had made rash statements about labor’s war effort.
