"REPORT RECEIVED FROM DELEGATE TO CONVENTION: (Gontinued from from Page 3) sens tha eonyentio emo une | of Xi Bd Bly tho Currier minfon president, who, in & message sent from his sick by sounded the keynote of the activi- ties which the Legion must pursue in ts future endeavors, A full report of the text of General Cup- rie's message Spponts elsewhere in today's fssue of The Times, Definite results of the efforts of the Legion were also apparent at 'the convention in the announces ments of the removal of the seven year time limit for Imperial pen~ sions, and of the agreement of the chairman of the Soldier Bettlers' Hoard to cancel all evietion pro- weedings against soldier settlers in arrears, and not to undertake any new proceedings until next spring. Problem Cases Comrade Hood reviewed many of the important resolutions which were passed upon by the econven- tion, chief of these being Yesolu- tions dealing with the burnt-out war veterans and free hospitalisa- tion for all ex-service men in need of medical attention, These two series of resolutions formed the foundation of the Legion's legisla tive program, it was pointed out, and were based on reasonable grounds of the natlon's responsi bility to the men who sacrificed thelr health and strength in the pervice of thelr country, The first resolution called for allowances for men who, by reason of thelr physical condition, had become un+ employable, this provision being sought only for men who had serv- od in an actual theatre of war, The second asked for free hospital and medical treatment for all ex-seis vice men who had broken down, but who were unahle to provide it tor themselves, These resolutions vole of tue convention as the vie men of the Dominion, Tho speaker also outlined the purport of other resolutions deal ing witlt immigration, soldier set- tiement, Empire (rade and rela- tionships, widows' pensions, elvil service qualification and super an nuation, the establishment of a fixed Armistice Day, and the ore ganization of a memorial pilgrim- age to Vimy Ridge in 1043, Growth of Legion Speaking of the growth and strength of the Canadian Legion, Commde Hood stressed the fact that this was due to the splendid demonstration of unity which had been given by the Legion In all its activities, its volce having heen accepted as that of the general body of ex-service men throughout the Dominion, The splendid type of public men who were taking the high ofMees In the Legion was alse mentioned as a contributory factor to the success whigh Lhe prganisation had attained, success which had been so marked that It Had been found necessary to se- pure the services of a permanent neral secretary at headquarters, ajor Reginald Bowler, of Winni- ef, being unanimously endorsed b the convention for this posis fon, Major Bowler, it wan points bd out, has had wide experience in dealing with ex-service men's affairs, and had carried the great burden of presenting the claims of the Canadian Legion to the 19028 parliamentary committee of the house of commons on. ex-ser- vice men's problems, A Great Awakening In olosing, Comrade Hood sald there had been a great awakening on the part of the press and the public of Canada to the need of greater consideration of the prob lema of the war veterans, As with one voice, newspapers of all po- litical creeds, as well as those which were Independent, were calling for remedial action to solve these problems, with the result that Premier King had announced at London that a revision of the war pensions act and regulations was In order and would be under- taken, 4 Battle Not Over This, said Comrade Hood, was a wonderful victory for the Le glon, but it did not mean that the battle was won, It simply meant a call for reinforcements, for wu further demonstration that the ox-service men of Canada were loy- HA behing the Legion in its er re justice, and that demo n eould only be made A great accession of Hl OYNO men to the member- whip of the Legion, mo that it could say, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that it spoke for the whole body of war veterans in Canada In putting forward its legislative Jrogtam at the next session of the gislature, Comrade Hood also voleed the necessity of keeping the organisation and its plans entirely out of politics, so that the ques- tion of falr treatment of those who suffered In the war could never become a political football, Por this reason, he asked the mem- bers of the Oshawa branch not to think that the battle was over, but to put forward every effort to in. crease thelr strength far beyond ite present numbers, so that the branch could play an important part in the tight that still had to be fought before the Leglod's pro- gram could be put into legislative effect, Dr, T, KB, Kaiser, M,P, In moving the thanks of the meeting to the speaker, Dr, Kals- or apsured the audience of his sym- athy with the claims put forward y the ex-service men, and stated in emphatic terms that his experi. ence with the pension hoard was that it adopted the attitude of a magistrate trying a criminal, ra- ther than taking a sympathetic view of the needs of the ex-service men, He sald he was pleased that Premier King had announced that the question of war pensions was to be reopened, and sald that no member of the house of commons, regardless of polities, would fall to give sympathetic consideration to the pleas made by the Leglon representatives, Mayor Mitehell Mayor Mitchell, in seconding tne motion of thanks, expressed his ap preciation of the alms of the Les gion, and sald it should not be \0cepsary Lo appeal to any ex-ser /lce man to join an organisation which was doing so much for the disabled men and the widows and children as the Legion was doing, A letter from W, C, Lamarsh, of Chatham, whip of the Ontario caus ous of the convention, highly ecoms« mending the work of the Oshawa representative, was read to the meeting, and was received with hearty applause, The meeting closed with singing of the National Anthem CREW OF DISABLED SHIP RESCUED Continued from page 1) tal, he liner is expected to ar- rive here
