National Commander Paul Griffith of the American Legion said today that America must permanently rid itself of its “traditional innocence in international affairs.” In a statement issued from American Legion national headquarters as the fifth anniversary of Pearl Harbor neared, Mr. Griffith attacked what he called America’s

strength,” he sald.
