Admiral Sampson, the most extraor-
binary sample of two-legged idiot that
the world has ever seen. feels that ii
men should be promoted from the ranks
they would mot know how to behave at
social parties on board ship" Read this
extract from the letter of Sampson. the
amazing micro cephalic Admiral:
''While e IS true that these men are
selected from class of men OF very
unusual ability, which distinguishes them
as perhaps the professional equals Of
their officers as far as their technical
education stands, it is also true that
they are recruited from class OF men
who HAVE NOT HAD THE SOCIAL AID
VANTAGES THAT ARE A REQUISITE
FOR A COMMISSIONED OFFICER"
Therefore according to Admiral Samp-
sons view, the United States of America
is TO deprived of the services and COM
mand of any American sailor who hap
pens not to come no to Simpsons idea
of dancing class manners.
