SWANSON SPEAKS
ON NAVY TUESDAY
Secretary Will Be Eighth
Cabinet Officer to Talk
on Forum.

The Navy and what it means to the
Nation will be the theme of Secretary
Swanson when he speaks Tuesday night
in the National Radio Forum, arranged
by The Star and broadcast over Station
WRC and a Nationwide hook-up of
the National Broadcasting Co. at $3.50
pm.
Secretary Swanson Is pre-eminently
fitted to tell the Nation about naval
affairs. He is the eighth cabinet officer
Of the Roosevelt administration to speak
in the National Radio Forum. Secre-
tary of War George II. Dern spoke last
week.
Naval economy has loomed large in
the news recently, and with back
ground that has kept him in intimate
touch with Navy affairs since long be-
fore the World War. Secretary Swan
son has q keen insight into the prob
lens Of his subject. A former member
Of the House, Governor Of Virginia and
Senator, he served as chairman of the
Senate Naval Committee during the
World War, plotting through Congress
much of the important legislation nee
essary to bring the Navy up to war
strength.
The Secretary took an outstanding
part in pushing through Congress the
London naval treaty, and frequently
he has urged that the United States
build up to the provisions of that pact.
He also attended the sessions Of the Dis
armament Conference at Geneva last
Winter as an official spokesman for his
Government.
With such q background and intimate
knowledge Of naval affairs the Secre-
tary's radio audience Tuesday is prom
ised O. striking presentation during the
half-hour program from $50 to 10 pm
