LONDON, May 81 Q.N.SO.-Con-
WINGED that a strongly armed
United States and Britain form
the only effective guarantee for
peace in the world at present,
Admiral William H. Standby,
U. S. N, today urged America
to keep in step with Britain's
naval program.
Americas recently enacted neu-
trality act will be mere scrap
of paper" he warned, unless the
United States maintains a Navy
strong enough to enforce her neu-
trality if it is challenged.
Here enliSting European partici-
patton in the 1899 New York
Worlds Fair, Admiral STANDBY
said he finds Europe an armed
camp" and only fear of a horri-
BILE outcome prevents an explosion.
He said:
"As conditions exist in Eu-
rope and the rest of the world
today, we unquestiOnably must
be prepared to fight to preserve
our neutrality.
"The neutrality act just passed
was designed to keep us out u
war, but it will be just scrap
of paper unless the Navy behind
1t is powerful enough to enforce
it.
Europe is reverting to the
stage where force alone conf
mands respect. You can't stop
q gangster from rObbing you by
telling him he is big, bad man
and should behave.
"The same theory applies to
international gangSters. You've
got to have force behind your
words when you talk to them.
"AS President Wilson found
out, neutrality announcements
are strong only when they have
power behind them. Wilson did
everything possible to maintain
neutrality. He wrote notes ull-
til he was black in the face, but
finally he had to fight for it.
international law. like all
law, is only as strong as the
power back Of it."
Failure of the League of Nations
when Italy conquered Ethiopia
was q striking example, said the
Admiral, adding:
II sincerely believe that in the
interests of our own welfare as
well as the peace of the world, we
ought to keep step with the Brit
iSh Naval Armament program.
don't mean matching Britain
ship for ship. ! mean maintain"
ing relative naval power.
"Apart from Britain, in order
adequately to protect ourselves,
we must possess navy second to
none. We need that kind Of
navy to maintain the balance Of
power in the American hemiS-
phere, just as Britain needs to
maintain the balance in Europe.
1t is that balance which rep
resents the only real safeguard
to world peace"

centers throughout the state. In
the school immunization program,
treatments were administered to
over 5000 children, while the sum-
mer roundup total is expected to
reach another thousand Such or
ganizations as Parent Teachers
Associations, Home Demonstration
Clubs, Oranges, and women's clubs
have cooperated actively with local
boards of health, school author
tiles, physicians, and the State
Board of Health. The latter which
is offering weekly clinics, is urging
parents to bring their children to
these round-ups for complete phys
ical examination and notation of
defects, preparatory to their enter
ing school in the autumn. Health
authorities urge that every child
between the ages of nine months
and twelve years be immunized,
and accredit to this practice the
demotion of the disease from the
position of an outstanding cause of
death; diphtheria, under present
day methods of health protection,
has dropped to a position on the
statistics below those
occupied by such childhood diseas-
es as whooping cough and measles.
