was devoted to furthering a sound
naval policy for the United States.
In it's early days, the history of
the Navy was turbulent one.
During the revolutionary period
70 vessels of all descriptions were
used, but through sale, capture
and destruction only one was left
in 1885 and during that year Con-
gress abolished the Navy, leaving
the burden Of the protection of
the country in the hands of an
army of only 80 men. In 1894 our
Navy was revived by a Congress
sional act authorizing the con-
struction of several frigates to
deal with the Algerine pirates
and the first U. S. Navy Depart
ment was established four years
later. One of these new frigates
purchased as result of this act
of 1894 was the Constitution -
with the Constellation, United
States, President, Congress and
Chesapeake making up a Navy
which, through successful en-
counters with French cruisers and
privateers, an enviable reputa-
ton for itself. In 1901 a series of
engagements with the Barbary
states and the ensuing treaties
rendered commerce in the Medi-
terranean safe from attack and
ended the payment of tribute by
Americans.
The outstanding performance
of the Navy and privateers dur
ing the War of 1912 insured free
dom of the seas for commerce and
further increased national pres
tige abroad.
The effective work of the Navy
during the World War is still
fresh in the minds of many. The
astonishing fact that no Ameri-
can soldier escorted by the U. S.
Navy lost his life in transit across
the Atlantic amazed even those
in the highest positions of au-
thority.
All American foreign relations,
all American participation in the
life of the community of nations
must find its expression through
traffic on the seas. Ships, both
