LOSS OF THE NAVAL RESERVE
Personnel of Force Has Shrunk in
Last Few Weeks from 10000
to Nothing.

Experts disagree as to the possible
ity of a next war" but they agree
absolutely that if the next war" does
come, it is likely to be on the seas
and in the air. We are warned that
we must have adequate naval anc
air forces. We must have adequate
reserves. Yet in spite of these warn.
ingS, the paid personnel of the naval
reserve force has shrunk in the last
few weeks from 100000 to nothing
The naval reserve, in which hun.
dreds Of thousands served faithfully
and valiantly during the war, has prac.
tically been abolished by congress
which failed to appropriate enough
money to pay the meager retainer
fees of personnel. The Navy depart
ment, asserting it had no alternative
discontinued the paid reserve. AL
members We're disenrolled, having only
an opportunity to join class 6, of the
reserve, a class in which personnel is
not paid, no matter how much time
may be devoted to drills and ma
neuvers.
Thousands of reserve sailors went
on cruises this summer at navy ex-
rense, receiving only navy pay and
training which is more valuable to
the navy than to the reserves. To
disenrol these men is to waste their
summers work. yet they have been
diSenrOlled.
Toward the close of the World war,
thousands of men Joined the naval re-
serve who were trained after the Arm
istice. All that training seems lost
TO the navy. Many reserves recently
shipped over after expiration of
their enrolment Good intentions have
not been considered.
The navy appreciates the reserve
force. The reserves appreciate that
the navy needs them. Only congress |
seems unaware that there is in time |
OF war a need for trained sailors out /
side our permanent forces-American |
