ability.
In connection with all of the
above the American Legion has
continually played a major roll. It
has been our number one mandate
since the end oi World War One
and for the World War Two vet
erans we initiated and aided in
passing over two hundred laws
an amendments for their benefit.
The veteran can thank our un
ceasing vigilance in this respect.!
;And he has never been let down.
In Washington, D. C., there is
a staff of nearly a hundred ex
perts on all manner of benefits.
These are ably assisted by our j
Legion state service officers, by the
twenty-five members of the Field I
Service and by our legislative staff.
It is a vast group of diligent, hard |
working people who constantly have j
the veteran and his dependents in
mind.
My visit at this time is in con- i
nection with the local office of the
Veterans Administration and with
a view to lending cooperative assist
ance wherever possible. My visit
is also by invitation of the Depart
ment of Alaska to attend the con
vention. While here until noon of !
the Gth I shall be available to any
veteran or his dependent in con
nection with any problem he may
have arising out of his service with
the Armed Forces. I am here to
render to you whatever service 1
can.
Last fall a commission appointed
by the President and with ex-Pres- |
ident Herbert Hoover as chairman,
compiled and submitted eighteen
voluminous reports on government I
icorganization. seven of which dealt j
with veterans benefits. Congress
has been considering these and j
the American Legion has been
fighting them, for to adopt them
would mean the dismemberment ot
the Veterans Administration which
now is the one responsible agency
for the handling of veterans bene
fits. Though staunch foes of the
veteran, mostly through ignorance
of facts and circumstances, have
fought hard to bring about the
so-called reforms or economies, I
am most happy to tell you that so
far the Legion has them licked and>
with your help victory is assured.

he obligation.
With a new year just around the
'orner, Commander McLain says
that the real contest is for every
;ost in the department to get ahead
>f every week of last year’s mem
oership.
Here is the way Ethel Lindley.
Department Adjutant, sums up ILL
administration oi commander Mc
Lain: “Perry McLain, our Depart
ment Commander is to be praised
for the high type of service given
the American Legion Department
in his untiring efforts to place our
department on a higher basis. He
planned his work then saw that
those plans were carried out.
“During his year of service as
your Commander three new posts
have been organized and Hoofiah
post revived to a live post. He has
brought to our department more
! honors during one term of office
than any other Department Com
mander in Alaska. We congratu
late you Perry, for your loyalty
and hard work in bringing to us
i the nice things we have enjoyed
! during 1949-50."
Commander McLain admits that
: the year has been a strenuous one.
J He predicts a large convention at
tendance and spirited business ses
sions, together with a flying start |
toward accomplishing the purposes
and community service which have j
teen the guiding principles of The
American Legion through the years j
