!! Nautical Novelties
Must Build Navy

Must Build Navy
Treaties can be made in a
few days or a few weeks. Build
ing programs require years to
complete. It takes four years
preliminary training at the Ma
val Academy before an officer
receives his commission, which
only starts him on his naval
career. It takes months to OBJ
tain and weld the crew of a
battleship into an efficient
fighting unit. 1t takes years of
continuous and intensive effort
to attain and maintain a high
state of fighting efficiency in
our battle fleet. Because of
these facts, it is an accepted
theory that countries must fight
a war with the navy they have
when the war begins. Accept
ing the fact that we must have
a wealth, our international
commitments, and our nation
prestige, the navy commenSur-
ate with our maintenance and
naval building an only safe
course to follow is one that adj
heres rigidly to a program of
policy that will insure, first,
that our ships are properly
manned, trained and in a state
of readiness adequate to meet
promptly any emergency, sec
ond, that we make privision
for a sane, buSinesS-like contin-
uouS program of construction
for the replacement of obsolete
vessels and the modernization
of material and equipment"
