Note 927 — APPENDICES

According to a statement in the Boston Herald, May 7, 1926, the Legion withdrew its support, June, 1925, due to opposition within its membership, when it abrogated its contract with the United States History Publishing Company. As a result, they were “to receive no financial benefit from the sale of the history; permission, however, was granted to the company to carry on its title page the fact that the book was prepared at the suggestion of the American Legion.” A letter to the author, May 13, 1926, from the Assistant National Director, Americanism Commission, however, declares: “The Legion has not retracted in its position relative to this history.... The only change made is that the National Executive Committee annulled the arrangement whereby the Legion was to receive a percentage from the sale of these books. The United States History Publishing Company is a private concern.”
