...unworthy of America and the Legion that through the accident of birth a man should be persecuted and restricted in his business. The playing of beautiful music cannot possibly work harm to the Legion, while it gives pleasure and relaxation to many people. If the members of the American Legion prefer not to listen to Mr. Kreisler, there is nothing that forces them to do so.

The need of concentrating all our energies upon the Western Front, and the avoidance of steps which may lead to irreparable stains upon the sublimity of our cause must guide our nation in the consideration of this harmful and ill-timed proposal...
