 Union Membership
 There are exceptions to the rule in that all dining hall employees affected by the agreement must be union mem bers. Old employees who had never joined the union, and those who had formally withdrawn before 1941 are not required to join.
 The rest of the contrast deals with the life of the agreement and methods of terminating or modifying 1t. The present contract will last until June 30, 1o42, and will be con tinued as is unless either party noti- fes the other in writing that he wishes to resume negotiations on a new con tract at least five months before the stated end of the agreement.
 Further clauses provide that:
 The University shall post publicly in each working place a schedule des- ignating for each employees the hours of duty and day off.

The necessity for such an

has been acute fer many
years.
Ten years ago | advanced
this proposal in the form of a
resolution asking for a sur.

No Longer Possible
to Expand Annapolis

Annapolis is three thousand
miles from the western ocean,
but if there were no other con-
slderations. why no further ex-
pansion should take place at
Annapolis. 1 submit this argu-
ment. that it is no longer pos
sible. adequately to expand
the Naval Academy at An
napolis. 1t is already encroach-
ing upon the town and there is
no room for further growth.
On February %, 1881. speak
ing on a resolution which I
had introduced in the Senate.
I made some observations on
the question Of this proposed
new naval academy for our
West Coast. cannot do better
than to quote here from what
then said:
let me say In a word that
the purpose of the joint resolu-
ton is not TO retard legislation
at the present time nor to inter-
fere with any pending measures
at all. It's design. is in line with
the dreams Of some OF us who
live on tn, Pacific Coast of pos
sibiIities there.
81 can recall 80 years ago
when I used to speak Of the
possibilities Of the Coast. Of its
commerce. its importance. and
its population. people were In
cIined TO smile induIgently;
and yet, according 10 the past
census, the sixth State In the
Union In population Is today
the State of California: its
expanding maritime activities
and its rapidly increasing COM
merce are recognized ~ Of
prime national Importance.

are our harbors TO most In for
eign lands. The commerce of
the Pacific today by leaps and
bounds has increased until very
recently when difficulties have
arisen in the Orient. and that
commerce is destined TO be even
greater with the lapse Of years.
A naval academy such as sug-
gested would accomplish many
very important purposes.

A Peace Move
as Well as Defense

Some Of us who yet believe
in national defense desire TO
have some measure of prepared
ness finally in case any diff
ferences may arise. We recog-
nize that our Navy was stripped
Of It's power by a naval treaty
which we entered a few years
ago. We recognize that then.
under the pious cry of peace. and
prOtestati0ns Of what was going
70 be accomplished in the world.
We reduced our Navy beyond
that point as which we pre-
sumed it ever would be main
taineL.
But this is not primarily a
navr. measure which I intro
duce. II is a measure for peace
time and for the protection OF
our commerce, the education of
those who ultimately may be
sought to direct the shipping
commercial interests upon the
Pacific Coast. the empire that
is growing so today that a man
needs no imagination to under
