In Philadelphia the American Legion at its national convention rejected reaffirming last year’s Omaha stance favoring adherence to the World Court. A large vote defeated the resolution, as the body said the World Court had become a political question and adopting the measure would violate the Legion’s constitution which bars dissemination of partisan principles. The convention also deferred a unified air service proposal after the aeronautics committee backed a single department with equal secretaries for land and sea services.
