C.--In the event the bonus passes, the American Legion has volunteered to cooperate with the Government in administering the law and, through its organization, to ef- fect a saving amounting to millions of dollars in the cost of distributing adjusted compensation. The 11,000 T.egion posts in almost every city and township in the nation will be placed at the disposal of the Government, Hanford MacNider, the commander of the Legion, has pledged. The whole Legion organiza- tion will assist in the gigantic task of getting up machinery to carry out the terms of the law in the payment of compensation to the several mill- ions entitled to benefits. "With the pasage of the bill, some agency extending into every commu- nity will of necessity have to be pro- vided through which applications would be received," Mr. MavNider de- clares. "The Legion offers to take over this job, and with the machinery which we have already built up, car- ry out the plans of the legislation." It is probable, according to com- mander MacNider, that citizens throughout the country will volunteer to serve without pay on local boards or commissions, subject to the same regulation and supervision as other Federal employes. With the com- pletion of a census of the 4,000,000 war veterans now being taken, the Legion | will have in its possession the only accurate data on the distribution of | adjusted compensation under the five options available. One suggestion the Government has | received calls for a system similar to | the selective draft under whih coldiers were inducted during the war by boards of citizens in their localities. | VICE-COMMANDER L.
