circles that If the National Guard was
| provided for in the way Of drills and
encampments. the Naval Reserve would
receive the same treatment, but so far
there is no indication Of any action.
Last year. when the land troops re-
ceived their full periods of training
the Naval ReservistS were required to
stay at home, ostensibly as a part of
| the economy move. For this reason
| the citizen sailors are beginning to
wonder whether or not their organiZa-
| ton is being looked after as we'll as
that which looks after the interests Of
the land troops.
Not only have their annual cruises
been halted. but after the first of July,
! it was learned, there will not be any
money for tn" purchase Of fuel for the
new training boat which has been as
| signed here. However, a full months
supply of fuel is seen for July, but after
| that the officers and men will have to
bear the expense of running the boat
! If they desire to take it out. For the
month of July, a local firm has offered
| to donate enough fuel to run the boat,
which amounts to about 100 gallons
each week end. This donation was
obtained through the efforts of Lieut.
Comdr. Walter c. Lockhart, chief engi-
neer of the local battalion.
1t appears likely that If something is
not done by the Navy Department off,
| cials IN the way of securing sufficient
funds for the training of Naval Reserv-
lists the Reservists will have to
wage their own fight through their
organization. They believe that If the
land forces are able to obtain sufficient
! funds for their training there should be
enough money to provide cruises for the
ReservistS.
1t is true that opportunities have
been offered Reservists from time to
| time during the year to make individ-
ual cruises, away from their organiza-
tions, but it was pointed out that the
| Navy Department in each case requires
that the officers bear their own ex-
penses, including the mess bill on the
ships, and that both the officers and
enlisted men pay their own transporta-
ton expenses to and from the ports
at which they embark on the designated
| ships.
On the other hand, the Reservists
point out that the National Guard
members are not required to bear any
expenses In connection with. their
training Unless funds are specifically
appropriated for the Reservists in the
naval appropriation bill, they fail to
see how the Navy Department can
make any provisions for them, particu-
larly for pay. AS Congress has ad-
| journed it is too late to make any
financial provision this year, and in the
meantime the National Guard. it was
pointed out, will have their training
as usual.
