In a roinmuulcatlnn to all the poits
of the American T.oglon in Ponnsylva-
Ia, George 1' Tyler, department com- i
mnniler. outline, the
r.eginn'p position on the
question of adjusted
rotiipenation for for-
iner service men and '
women
The communication is '
in nnrl an follows :
"At a meeting of the national eiecn-
rive committee at Indianapolis. Krbru- I
ary 10, special consideration was given
to the question of the resolution relat- '
Jog to adjuited compensation passed by
the national convention at Minneapolis.
That resolution stated:
" 'That while the American Legion
wis not founded for the purpose of pro
moting legislation in its selfish interest.
et it recognizes that our government
has an obligation to att service meu
and women to relieve the financial dis
advantages incidental to their military
service an obligation stcond only to
that of caring for the disabled and for
the widows and orphans of those who
sacrificed their lives, nnd one nlready
acknowledged by our Allies but the
American Legion feels that it cannot
aik for legislation In its selfish inter
est, and leaves with confidence to the
Congress the discharge of this obliga
tion. No Congressional Ait Ion
"In view of the fact that no definite
action has been taken by Congress nnd
because of tho many inquiries from
members of Congress as to what a fair
adjustment would be, the national ex
ecutive committee unanimously paused
a resolution after a thorough investiga
tion of 100,000 savings bank account
of men who were not in the service
showed an average increase of 5-100.
and the nverage length of military serv
ice being eight months, stating
. , " 'Thnt it is the sense of the na
tional executive committee that all i
service men and women are entitled to '
adjusted compensation in the form and j
amount of a $50 boud for each month
of service '
"In view of the fact that the state
convention at Harriburg did not adopt
a resolution opposing adjusted com
pensation, though it did defeat one en
dorsing it, and because the national
convention itself did not stipulate any
specific amount in its resolution, there
fpre each post in Pennsylvania is re

Mhe post favors such adjustment. In
thia way every congressmau will have
the opinion of the pots within bid ju
