CENSUS OF EX-SERVICE MEN
Five Million Questionnaires to Be Used in Obtaining Views on Compensation Drive.
A nation-wide census of ex-service men will be taken by the American Legion. Five million questionnaires have been printed for use in the Legion's "service and compensation" drive, which will aim toward the compilation of vital statistics and which should afford a definite indication of the exact cost of providing compensation to all veterans.
The various state organizations of the Legion will conduct their drives separately, and at their own date. Every man interviewed by the census taker will be informed of the five options of the pending compensation bill and be asked to signify his attitude toward the measure and his choice of the five features. He will also record whether he was ever wounded, gassed, or suffered an injury in service. Assistance will be provided in filing compensation claims, and all ex-soldiers will be urged to carry government insurance.
The Legion's plan for a rotating loan fund will be explained, and every man interviewed will be asked whether he would be willing to turn over his compensation toward such a fund for the relief of needy service men.
