Pe ee eee PE tee ce nabs les aioe lis, The country’s largest veterans organization has no apologies te make to anyone for its vigilance and alertness in assisting the Comgreas, the PBI and #113 true patricts in protecting the security ef this country, This is no time to be lulled into a false sense of security, There is no innuendo or distortion in exposures made by the Legion in its publications, Bach issue of “The Firing Line" is fully documented and checked carefully by a capable staff of legat experts, prior to publication, Mrs, Roosevelt may desire to check the record xu to ascertain how many law suits have been filed as a resuit of Legion exposure, Although the healthy glare of the well focused spotlight often sends the guilty to cover, there is no real basie for martyrdom if sound facts hawe been used, The Legion has never attacked religion as such, and never could, Its “Back to God" movement is in strong support of all religions and its programs encourage religion in every aspect, Its ranks are made up of men of a11 faiths and creeds who have faced the tragedy of the battle field with God and prayer as the principal salvation, As has often been stated: “There are no atheists in fox holes," I have long been a menber ef the Methodist church aad have proudly but huubly f iraly peiievesin, and practiced my religion from the age ef a omml1l boy, Meither I, nor any antional commander, would allow an attack upen any church, faith er religion, The American Legion, however, refuses te believe that comaunien or subversive activities in any form can be classed as a religion, Attempts, therefore, te utilize religion as a “frest" fer such activities will be constantly exposed om a factual and documented basis whenever the opportunity presente itself, Mra, Roosevelt may desire to join us in this worthy endeavor,
