included the following statement of
the general board:
The program proposed, il carried
out, Will create n properly constituted

to insure the protection of the legal
rights Of our citizens under interna'
tional law. provide refuge in time or

adequate national defense. We haV"
not such fleet at the present time.

and extends the period Of that made

DELAY in building up the fleet to the
standard of it's requirements depriveS
the country OF an adequate national
defense for n period Of years, and viii
entail extraordinary financial burdens
in future wears. Prompt adoption OF
the program proposed will result in
feet adequate for national defense
and will avoid excessive peak loads in
fu'ure financial demands.
The general hoard invites particu-
lar attention TO subordinate but very
important phase Of the proposed CON
jnuiuE huildinc program. The snip
building industry OF tho country is
an integral and essential part Of our
national defense. II requires stahili-
