ization, of stimulating
interest in it, and of inviting the support of all those
entitled to membership.
"No policy except in furtherance of the creation of a permanent
organization having in mind the desirability of unity of action
in organizing all the American forces shall be adopted or
carried out by the committees.
A meeting for the temporary and preliminary organization of the
Executive Committee shall be held at this place immediately upon
the adjournment of this caucus.
The Executive Committee may receive and add to its number two
representatives from any division or equivalent unit not
represented at this caucus."
As the result of the passage of this report it is interesting to note
the personnel of the Executive Committee which the delegates selected
and which is controlling the American Legion of the A.E.F., observing
especially the large number of enlisted men; large in view of the
difficulties experienced in getting such men to Paris.
