The absence ot "burning national issues" from the agenda gave an added fillip to the spirit of making this convention one in which gaiety should predominate.

CriMM'a, jirinn and prepared to defend ourselves the danger of such attack will be reduced to a minimum. ADEQUATE DEFENSE The American Legion, therefore, asks an adequate national defense to preserve peace. We do not want our country to engage In the armaments race that has made Europe an armed curiip. We ask only the minimum requirements for actual defense. To a substantial degree this has been Obtained.

We shall fight to maintain It and ceck the comparatively small additions that are es capital, industry and manpower on a banis of strict equality, with special privilege and profit for none. This law will serve three great purposes: It will equalize the burden cf war If war must come despite ail of our effort to prevent it; It will de-proflllze war. and It will strengthen the national defense by permitting long-range advance planning for the Immediate procurement of essential supplies and services In the event ot a crisis, "TRULY AMERICAN" It Is truly American, It will not cost a penny, It will not become operative until war is declared, and it will cease to operate upon the restora-lion of peace. When the profit motive Is thus removed, one of the great sources of propaganda for war will be closed. It us not forget that the preser-, vatlon of our cuuntry of the freedom, liberty and high standard of living we enjoy means self-preser-vatlou.

If we lose these things, we lose everything. We lose the political freedom, economic opportunity and political and economic security that have made America the great Nu-tion it Is today. So it Is true democ Early Fall GOATS rduerd frern'our II0.V3 racks. 4baP I' I iwlnr aiyli'a. i wonrn a alzea.

GUN BOUTS PICKETS At midday, near Fifth ave. and 42d tha sound of a cannon reverberated so loudly and the smoke was so thick that pedestrians ran from fear and a group of Chinese students picketing near the Japanese consulate took to their heels. As It turned out, the West was merely giving the East bit of fun, for the cannon had fired a blank, and those who inannod It were harmless Joy-making Legionnaires from Detroit.

In their case, however, the police called a halt, politely, but firmly. Tite hotels, for the most part, were atrlpped for whatever action the legionnaires might be moved to enter upon. Carpets, chairs, pot-plants, everything movable had been taken from the lobbies. From time to time bugle corps would match into a hotel and make music.
