The American Legion was on record today with resolutions urging Congress to restrict all immigration until unemployment was cut to less than 1,000,000 persons, to require all aliens to register and be fingerprinted, and to outlaw the German-American Bund and the Communist Party. The resolutions were adopted yesterday at the concluding session of the Legion’s 21st annual convention.
