Chief of Naval Operatioss, Ad- miral William D. Leahy, who said, in explanation of the pending naval program:
 "The navy of the United States is maintained for two general reasons. One is the prevention of war The other is readiness to wage war effectively so that, if forced upon us, war may be brought to close as quickly as possible with minimum loss of men and economic resources.
 National Integrity
 "The navy insures our national integrity, supports our national policies, guards the continental United States and our overseas possessions and gives protection to our citizens abroad. The navy can do this effectively only if it is maintained at a strength which will prevent a serious challenge by any nation or nations to any of Americas vital national poll- cies, which will insure respect by foreign states and their people for our citizens abroad, and which will make an attack on any part of our territory too costly and too hazardous for any foreign nation or nations to attempt.
 'The navy does not have in mind any particular possible en- emy, but does consider all foreign navies in it's study of the sea de- fense needed by the United States.
 "The navy has no thought of obtaining assistance from any other nation.
 Ut has no thought of giving as- sistance in the solution of the problem of any other nation.
 Ut has no foreign commitments.
 'There has been no talk of giv- ing or receiving assistance.
 "The navy expects to solve naval defense problems that may confront the United States ill the Navy's traditional way without alliances.
 Ut expects to stand on its own feet in providing protection to the United States and it expects to succeed"
 Cardinal Principles
 These are the cardinal princi- pies that guide those of us in Congress who favor for the navy an increased appropriation for naval expansion. You may be as- sured that such appropriations will be authorized. That will be the decision of those of us who
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-05

happen to be members of Con- gresS,-but upon the shoulders of you young men who are here be- fore me today, will fall the respon- sibility of using those instrument talities of war that we place at your command, and using them wisely, in accordance with the best traditions of the Navy, and with an objective that may be slightly different from the objec- tives which seem to have domi- mated many military and naval establishments of the world in past decades. Let me impress upon you that the nation is giving you these new armaments for the first purpose of MAINTAINING PEACE. Your navy, and mine, can grow larger in size, and in the estimation of our people, by fol- lowing that objective than it ever could be inviting war. In other parts of the world, where the mil itary organization has gotten out of control of civil authorities, there has been disaster.
 Future Officers
 Being an officer in the Navy during the next few decades will be rich and interesting exper- fence. But it calls for responsibil- ity and sacrifice to great ideals and great objectives. Whether you are happy and successful in the work depends on whether or not you are prepared to play the game. The naval profession is much like the ministry or priesthood. You dedicate your life to a purpose. You wear the garb of an organ ized profession. Your life must be governed by rules laid down by the organization. You renounce the pursuit of wealth. In a large measure you surrender your citi- zenship; renounce politics; and work for the highest good of the organization. and of mankind. In the final analysis your aims and objects are quite as moral as those of any churchman, because morality consists in the conserva- tion of the best interests of civili- zation, and you are not seeking your own good, but the ultimate good of your country.

this legislation with respect to the maintenance of world peace and the preservation of our Demo- cratic principles of government.
 The prevailing opinion of the American people is in favor of peace, and opposed to war. There can be no doubt about that. And the controversies that we confront in Congress in these important days, are concerned with the prob lem of how we can best preserve our peaceful relationship with the world without sacrificing the principles upon which this nation has been developed.
 Those who have intelligently applied themselves to this problem cannot escape the conclusion that an adequate defense is the best means of preserving our peace with other nations. A study of all past wars reveals that a series of incidents has usually inflamed the people into an emotional if not an hysterical demand for war. A people entirely peaceful at heart, and determined to prevent war at almost any cost, can be inflamed overnight by perhaps a single incident. Obviously, if these incidents can be prevented, the public will not be aroused to 8 desire for war.
 Adequate Defense
 And what is the best way to prevent these incidents that lead to war?
 My answer is simple one: AN ADEQUATE NATIONAL DE- TENSE.
 A defense that will caution other nations at war with each other that they cannot wantonly. or even carlessly, take a life or sink a ship of our neutral nation and get away with it.
 Since such incidents are likely to occur abroad, or at sea, the maintenance of an adequate naval defense is the best assurance that they will not occur, and that the minds of the people will not be inflamed into desire for war.
 Whatever the cost may be for building battleships, and cruisers, and other naval craft, the cost will be slight indeed, if their ex- istence will prevent war that will cost many times as much Ill money, and untold loss of life.
 can think of no stronger words to enunciate the need of a strong Navy than those of your own

and Mrs. Salvatore Borrelli of IA Cherry street. Irony is right up among the leaders and is holding mean third place with 13,600 votes, showing what a young and up-com- ing young man can do when it comes to the point where a squirt is indicated.
 Young Tony's father is the "Sal" Borrelli who has "Sal's Restaurant" out on East Main street. And, ap- parently, Sal" got a bit tired of seeing his son and heir lowering with the contenders and took advantage of the 5O0-vote bonus this week for subscriptions to THE DEMOCRAT and spoke to few of his friends about it.
 Out to Win Contest
 Tony says as how he will train for the finals in this contest for $2O0 cash and other valuables on the usual spaghetti and red wine. But Sal" is liable to put his foot down on any of the liquid, although Tony looks husky enough to absorb it okeh.
 Ilc pOlllb Ol tllc WIiOlC HldtCCI 10, folks, that you must remember the bonus offer of 800 votes for every subscription ends tonight and, if you have some subscriptions in your book which you've not submitted, for gosh's sake bring them in right away! Next week will be too late be- cause then subscriptiosn will count the usual 200 votes.
 Offer Proves Benefit Many of the contenders have talk en advantage of the bonus offer and both of the leaders, Peg Lemere and Ran Saunders, have made an issue of what showing they could make. Any baby in the CONTEST still has an excellent chance to win by getting the necessary support and turning in subscriptions on the basis of 200 votes for each. It is as easy as rolling off the proverbial log to get subscriptions to THE DEMOCRAT. Best Paper In Town Every reader in town knows that THE DEMOCRAT is the only com plete evening newspaper and that THE DEMOCRAT is family enter prise, too, not one of those organs devoted to the business interests or
