Synopsis

This book documents a conference held between representatives of the American Legion and the Bureau of War Risk Insurance on December 15-17, 1919. The American Legion was concerned about the effectiveness of the Bureau and its ability to serve ex-servicemen, and the Bureau was receptive to the Legion's suggestions for improvement. The conference resulted in several key recommendations that were presented to Congress, including increased compensation for disabled veterans, more efficient administration of insurance policies, and the creation of a single agency to coordinate the government's efforts to support veterans. The book provides a valuable historical record of the early efforts to provide support for veterans returning from World War I, and it highlights the important role played by the American Legion in advocating for their needs.
