Navy Day

With wars and rumors Of wars encircling the globe
the observance of Navy Day gives Americans an oppor
tuny to pay some attention to this great arm Of our
national defense.
European naves are culng here and there ready for
action when the spark gtes the confagration that most
nations expect and fear.
THE UNITED STATES NAVY, WHILE ALL THIS
SEA ACTIVITY IS IN PROGRESS, GOES CALMLY
ABOUT ITS WAY OF PEACE, ALERT, BUT DETER
MINED AS ARE ALL THE PEOPLE IN AMERICA,
TO AVOID MIXING IN THE QUARRELS OF
OTHERS
And ue rely on the strength of that Navy as an
important factor in keeping out OF the present
European mess
The reliance which we place on our Navy to preserve
our traditional policy of peace will be misplaced unless
the Navy is able to rely upon public support of pro-
gram for upbuiding and development
There are those who maintain that to have big navy
Their reasoning is contrary to all experience and to
common sense.
A navy of unquestionable adequacy will repel an at
tack before it is made and without firing shot.
NO NATION, HAS YET STARTED A WAR THAT
TT DIDN'T HOPE AND EXPECT TO WIN, AND NO
NATION CAN HOPE OR EXPECT TO BEAT AN
OTHER WHICH IS ADEQUATELY DEFENDED.
Fortunately the present Administration realizes the
vital importance of Navy competent to convince others
ADHERENCE TO THAT PROGRAM IS THE
sUREsT MEANS OF KEEPING THIS NATION AT
PEACE WITH ALL
Here in Washington our citizens are apt to overlook
the vast naval establishment which we have in our
midst. 2.....
We don't see much of the big battleships unless we
90 down the Bay and consequently we think that the
Navy is represented here only by the offices OF the
Navy Department
AS matter of fact Washington has vast naval plant
which should be of interest to all of our citizens and
Navy Day should be made the occasion Of visit to one
or more units of the establishments
We have the Navy Yard and naval gun factory i'm
nortan parts of the Navy we have the Naval 0bserva
tory an interesting establishment in peace as well as
war and we have numerous other establishments worthy
of call Navy Day.
LOOK INTO THE NAVY AND YOU Will BE A
PROUDER AND BETTER CITIZEN
The Washington times., 1935-10-28

Every year the American
people observe as Navy. Day
the anniversary Of the birth
of Theodore Roosevelt because
Of what he did as President to
build up the Common Defense
as a whole and the Navy in par
ticular.
There is no partisanship in
this annual observance. 1t is
wholly patriotic. And it serves
a highly useful purpose. 1t
enables the public to get dur
ing the week ushered in by
Navy Day an annual antidote
of truth about the Navy for
the poisonous propaganda
against it.
The Navy as the strong
right arm of the Common De
fense was a subject to which
Colonel Roosevelt had given
many years of study long be-
fore he attained the Presi-
dency. His views on the sub
ject of the Common Defense
were vigorously expressed in
his history of The Naval War
of 1872" which appeared IN
1882.
These views were reiterated
in his Life of Benton" IN
1887. Again in 1896 he set
forth most clearly and pre-
cisely the same doctrine OF
national preparedness when he
wrote a condensed history OF
the War of 1912.
"LIP-LOYALTY"
His biographers agree, how.
ever, that one of the ablest
State papers ever contributed by
Theodore Roosevelt to the itera-
ture of craftsmanship was read
before the Naval War College
at Newport, R. L, at the opening
exercises on June 2, 1897. He
had assumed the duties Of the
office of Assistant Secretary OF
the Navy several months before.
He put into this Naval War Col
lege address the results of years
of study, research and mature
deliberation.
Here are a few quotations
from this memorable utterance
which young Americans in
school, college and university, as
well as their fathers and
mothers, will find of interest
during the week in which the
household of the nation" pays
tribute to the Navy:
"A century has passed since
Washington wrote To be pre-
pared for war is the most ef-
fectual means to promote peace
We pay to this maxim the lip
loyalty we so often pay to Wash
ingtOn's words; but it has never
sunk deep into our hearts.
"Indeed of late years many
persons have refused it even the
poor tribute of lip-loyalty and
prate about the inequity of war

Guarantee for Peace
Bu James r. Williams, F.

as II somehow that was a tusti.
ficatiOn for refusing to take the
steps which alone can in the
long run prevent war or avert
the dreadful disasters it brings
In its train.
"In this country there is not
the slightest danger of an over.
development of warlike spirit,
and there never has been any
such danger. In all our history
there has never been a time
when preparedness for war was
any menace to peace.
"On the contrary, again and
again we have owed peace to the
fact that we were prepared for
war and in the War of 1912,
the struggle and all its attendant
disasters, we're due solely to the
fact that we were not prepared
to face, and were not ready
instantly, to prevent an attack
upon our honor and interests;
while the glorious triumphs at
sea which redeemed that war
were due to the few prepare.
tiOns which we had actually
made.
"The danger Is Of the precisely
opposite character. If we forget
that in the last resort we can
only secure peace by being ready
and willing to fight for it, we
may some day have bitter cause
to realize that a rich nation
which is SlOthfuI, timid, or un.
wieldy is an easy prey for any
people which still retains those
most valuable of all qualities,
the sOIdierly virtues.
Preparation for war Is the
surest guarantee for peace. Ar.
bitratiOn is an excellent thing,
but ultimately those who wish
to see this country at peace with
foreign nations will be wise if
they place reliance upon a first
class fleet. .. rather than on any
arbitration treaty which the wit
Of man can devise.
ADMONITION
"COwardice in a race, as in
an individual, is the unpardon.
able sin, and a wilful failure to
prepare for danger may in its
effects be as bad as cowardice,
The timid man who cannot
fight and the selfish, short.
sighted or foolish man who will
not take the steps that will
enable him to fight stand on
almost the same plane"
These words are as true and
as timely today as when they
were read to the Naval War Col
lege by Theodore Roosevelt IN
June of 1897.
Nothing has happened since
then to detract from their value
as a guide for the future. Much
has happened since and is hap
pening today to reinforce their
usefulness as a lesson from the
past and as an admonition for
the future.

here lie the three members of
the House of Hapsburg whose
lives symbolized the incredible
tragedy of that line: Francis
Joseph, whose reign more than
covered the age span of an ordi-

zabeth, victim of an assassin:
Crown Prince Rudolph, whose
death in a hunting lodge in a
forest near Vienna still excites

just published has been confis.
Gated by the Viennese police, for
the reason that it appears at
the moment most embarrassing
to the chances of the restora-
tion of the Hapsburg heir, Arch
duke Otto.
Insofar as one may Judge
from the fragmentary extracts
printed by the Vienna Montag
zeitung, the truth finally comes
to light, and the truth seems to
be that Rudolph, wearying of
life, killed his Countess and
then himself by the agreement
of both. Contained in Ste
phanie's memoirs is facsimile
of a farewell letter left with her
by Rudolph, shortly before the
tragedy. The letter read:
Dear Stephanie: Now that
you are freed Of the trouble Of
my presence, be happy in your
own way. Be good to our poor
children, who are all that Is
left Of me. Give my last greet
ingS to all our friends. 1 die
gladly, as death alone can save
my good name. Embracing you,
affeCtiOnately I am, your loving,
Rudolph"
A strange echo, in these mod
ern days, of that great ruined
family which was so haughty
in life, but whose extinguish'
able vanity impelled it to be
humble in death.

cies to resettlement and other
organizations does not alter the
fact that they are on relief.
"What the Administration is
doing is merely an attempt to
juggle the books so that the
public will have the opinion
the Government is curtailing
its relief expenditures when as
a matter of fact it is making
no saving"
Since it's Inauguration, the
Administration has bitterly con-
demned what it termed "the
chiselers."
From the Chief Executive
down through the ranks of
lesser officials has come caStiga-
ton of those persons who "chis.
eled."
Apparently "chiselIing" has
reached a new mark and has
turned toward the animal king
dom.
In the latest "clip sheet" of
the Department of Agriculture
is included an item which has
for its opening sentence the
query:
"Ts my bull a chiseler?"
In this enlightening expose Of
chiSeling sires of herds is point
ed out the fact that great dam
age can be wrought by this kind
of kline.
A tragic tale of the effects of
the chiseler is told and a
method given for exposing such
rascality.
Then comes the line:
"PrOving a bull, by making
nd-daughter comparisons,
is the best known way to find
out whether he is breeding the
herd up or dOwn-whether he is
q chiseler or a booster"

According to Mcleod, the
Administration is endeavoring
to conceal its relief expendi-
lures and create the impression
that it is curtailing them when
as a matter of fact it is merely
juggling the books.
Citing the So-cGlled "TugWell-

Mcleod pointed out that the

Solution to PreriOuS
Contract Problem
BY w. T.. MKENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League


1T has been estimated that more
Il than fifteen million persons in
the United States, at some time or
other, play bridge and you know that
almost every bridge player thinks he
is the best.
To find method of rating these
players might sound like tremen-
douS task, but it has been accom-
plished by the master point plan of
the American League. plan which
1 predict will be adopted by other
national sports.
At various tournaments, accord
ing to their Importance, the Amer
lean Bridge League awards master
points to the winners and some
times to the runners-up. The player
with the most points ranks first. He
is David Burnstine, New York.
Starting May so, Philadelphia
will hold its first master point cham
pionship tournament at the War
wick Hotel and winners in this tour
nament will become eligible to play
in the masters events this year.
AS yet, all the good players are
not masters. For example. l pre-
dict that Mrs. r. c. Young. Philadel-
phia, who holds the majority of
Philadelphia championships. will
gain some master points at this
tournament.
