Col. Knox Confident
Marines Are Ready
For Any Emergency
Message Broadcast to
Corps on Its l65th
Anniversary

Marines stationed at home, abroad
and aboard ship yesterday received
a radio message of confidence in
their readiness for any emergency
from Secretary of Navy Knox.
As part of the celebration of the
corps l65th birthday anniversary
Mr.. Knox told the Marines he has
complete confidence in the part you
and your personnel are capable of
playing toward maintaining the
freedom and democracy of these
United States
His message was read by Maj.
Gen. Thomas Holcomb, Marine
comnlandant, in the international
radio program. Messages from Ad-
miral Harold r. Stark, chief of
naval operations, and Gen. George
c. Marshall, Army chief of staff,
also were broadcast.
Corps Record Praised.
The program was directed from
the Marine Barracks here where
Col. John Potts, commandant, re-
called that on November 10, ITS
the corps was created by resolution
of the Continental Congress. The
corps record, he declared, will bear
comparison with that of the most
famous military organizations in
the worlds history
In praising the corps for its
glorious record Secretary Knox
added that its spirit may well serve
as guide for the peoples OF these
United States during times when
the moral fiber of a nation receives
its grueling tests
Mock Air Battle.
Marine aviatorS stationed on the
West Coast broadcast mock air
battle. Poor atmospheric condi-
lions prevented reception of broad
cast from Col. De Witt Peck, COM
mandant of the 4th Marine Regi-
ment in Shanghai, China.
Gen. Holcomb said the corps has
never been a service of soft men
and added that this generation per-
haps faced times more trying than
heretofore. Admiral Stark,s message
said there is vital need today for
courage, esprit de corps and devo-
ton to duty.
