challenged.
'No reflection was made on anyone.
We hope that is sufficiently clear.
Nor has The News a grardge against
the Legion executive. This Fall we
gladly printed 103 lines of free read-
ing matter supplied by the ',Canadian
Legion.
When the local branch executive
sent out a letter of appeal against
public neglect, a change in policy was
suggested to ,the Legion, namely, that
in order to revive pu'blic interest in
their local and national work, that
they acquaint the public ' with their
finances. Surely, no greater compli-
ment could be offered to those in
charge of the local branch and to
those in charge of the 'Dominion Le-
gion, than the inference that their
,financial statements made ,public
wonld help the cause.
As we said' before, no detailed state-
ment of receipts and expenditures has
ever been published by the Legion.
This would not involve individual
items of relief :from the fund, but
would show the tbtal contributions
made, both public and 'private; :tow
much goes to headuarters, what the
headquarters expenses are; what the
local branch disbursements for the
year are, and how much goes to the
local find.
In short, we 'merely proposed that
citizens be shown the channels by
which their contributions go to aid
needy veterans, as a means of ,seeping
np interest. Many large philanthropic
fundis do this and sometimes give lists
with the names of thousands of don-
ors.
Surely, there is no harm in that.
One more point. It is said that

connection. (Here is what ^a speaker at
one of the`Reniem.brance Dray services
or: Saturday said:
"Let us give bread and butter to
the living before placing wreaths aind
building' monuments for the 'dead."
He further 'stated in connection with.
promises made to rthe youth if they
would ,enlist, which several say have
been 'broken. "'We cannot pay the
dead, but we can the living. Why
should any man .who served` ov'erse'as
from 11914.18 be sleeping' in our jails
