The American Legion Weekly [Volume 2, No7 (February 13, 1920)] . Members of Americanism Commission at Indianapolis Conference. THE great task of promoting Ameri-canism, which has been undertakenby The American Legion as itsforemost obligation to the country,presently will be somewhat simplifiedand speeded up as a result of the firstformal conference of the AmericanismCommission, recently held at NationalHeadquarters. At that conference, which broughttogether Legion members from everysection of the country, two importantmeasures were considered. First, the members of the commissionset themselves to prepare a workingprogram. The program will not becompleted immediately, but in its ap-proved form it will be a detailed defini-tion of what is meant by one hundredper cent Americanism, When that ques-tion has been answered fully, the Legionwill finally be in a position to functionas a unit. Lacking that definition, theorganization has been handicapped andfrequently embarrassed by Americaniza-tion work that did not always jibe withthe Legion constitution.
