dinner of American Legion post No.

Mason Hotel, declared the United
States had the best naval air force
in the world through the work and
cooperation OF all hands in the
naval establishment"
He said one of the most significant
errors which has been demonstrated
by military experience abroad is on
resulting from the separation of the
requisite air components from the
appropriate naval components and
the attempts to operate independent
air forces.
Former Representative Darden,
candidate for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination in Vir-
ginia. declared the United States
had scrapped the best Navy in the
world after Naval Disarmament
Conference in 1923 but was rapidly
recovering to the point where the
