A T LEAST, why do they not re-
"A solve now to always HAVE a
navy capable of preserving peace?
The American people fought and
finally won the first World War with
armed forces-including a navy
sufficiently and belatedly developed
for the purpose.
Why did they not KEEP the
peace so sorely won, in the only way
1t could be kept-by keeping their
armed forces, including the navy,
sufficiently powerful for the pur-
pose?
The American people have now
fought and finally won a second
World War with armed forces and a
navy belatedly developed
Are they going to jeopardize and
possibly lose their hard won peace
again, by neglecting and weakening
the armed forces which are as essen
tial to the PREVENTION of wars
as to the WINNING of them?
I EFT it be our Navy Day pledge, in
~ this first observance of the ira
ditional day since the restoration of
peace in the land, that our powerful
instruments of war will be retained
as our formidable and impregnable
INSTRUMENTS OF PEACE.
Let us resolve to ALWAYS have
the most powerful navy in the world.
Let us maintain our military
science in a manner that will win
wars if we have Them and that will
give us our best assurance of keep
ing OUT of them.
These resolutions on the part of
the American people, made in OBJ
servance of Navy Day and strictly
kept from this time on, have the
power to give our country its finest
blessing-which is not victory, but
PEACE.

and torture which dogs made to endure in the name
of science
OF any enlightened person knows that there
cannot be any real gain mankind through such NAL
practice do hope that the Lemke Bill which will soon go
before Congress will be given the support which only you

many of your readers by being courageous in your
stand against vivisection

Navy Day

THE annual Navy Day observance,
4 which the American people are
conducting today with victory fresh
in their minds, has a significance
which goes beyond the narrowing
events of the recent conflict and its
triumphant conclusion.
The navy of the United States is
on parade today as an instrument
of war, of unprecedented and almost
incalculable power.
1t has emerged from the greatest
war in history as the most formi-
dable maritime fighting force in
history.
It's mighty ships have proved to
be an impregnable force.
It's vast air arm has been in
vincible.
The men of the navy are receiv-
4 ING, and are deserving, the highest
tributes of a nation conscious and
appreciative of the skill and re-
sourcefulness, the courage and de-
votion and sacrifice which were the
navy's contribution to American
victory.
MOT only American victory, but
~ American liberty and peace and
prosperity and happiness. rest upon
our people today by virtue of the
triumph which our armed forces
wrought-the navy being an honored
and beloved part of those armed
forces.
1t is not victory in war, or the
assurance of victory or the power to
achieve it, which wholly fulfills the
deepest American aspirations.
It is PEACE to which America
most aspires, an ENDURING peace
in the perpetual course of which the
productiveness of America can be
sustained and the liberties of the
American people enjoyed, and the
lives and fruitfulness of her people
preserved.
Instruments of war can RE
STORE these things, if they are
sufficiently powerful.
The American Navy is today such
an instrument
But such an institution as our
present navy can also PREVENT
