committee on national defenses, In
an address here today before the ma
tional convention OF mayors and
mayors committees The nation faces
q crisis, Mr.. Vanderbilt safd. and the
decision OF the people. who, he de-
clared, have a right to know what
our naval officers are able TO tell us.
will determine whether this nation
shall be preserved from external DOM
nation" he said it was vital that
the question OF national defense
should be lifted above the plane OF.
party politics.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, favorinE q return
by the United States TO the position
as second naval power. attacked the.
policies OF "the few impractical
ldreamers whose hopes OF disarma
ment have survived the events OF the
present war; and pointed TO the
teachings of the late Captain Alfred
II. Mahan that naval de efence Is Ameri-
cas- best reliance. In the planning of
a navy, Mr.. Vanderbilt emphasized
the development OF the personnel.
''rrhe silent, swift and efficient ac-
complishment OF the tasks heretofore
set before our naval officers by our
country are too we'll known TO re-
.uulre COMMENT Mr.. Vanderbilt
said. But IL is now our duty as
Amesltans. TO endeayor TO see that
these men are treated as though they
were Americans and citizens Of d
free country? And nj present they
are not so treated. They are In the
navy us representatives. Of the people.
In this crisis these officers should.
as American cltizens, have the right
TO express their expert views about
our naval needs; further. We ciyil=
ians have the right TO hear what
these our representatives are able
to tell us.
