The Navy Faces the Facts

fcient facilities for training the mini
mum number of new officers it will
need for the postwar naval establish
ment.
1t would not give the academy
the NEW training facilities it most
vitality needs-particularly the facili-
ties for aviation training, which are
absolutely essential to modern navy
and which the Annapolis Academy
woefully lacks and would continue to
lack even though st. Johns College
should be absorbed.
THE best place for the navy to
establish comprehensive and COM
plete officer training facilities-and
in fact the ONLY place it can find all
the suitable and ideal elements of
climate and topography and illimit-
able room for expansion and maneu-
ver-is the Pacific Coast of the
United States.
The navy has proved this to be
true out of It's own experience in the
present war, having had emergency
recourse to West Coast facilities and
institutions for the training of it's
wartime officers-and having had ad-
mirable results therefrom.
It will be no less important and
essential to the navy to have perma-
nent officer training facilities after
the war, and only the advantageous
West Coast is capable of providing
them.
It is to the credit of the navy
department that it is taking the SEN
sible. course of "serious considera-
tion" for this proposal
It has NOT been to the credit of
the navy department that it has
delayed such consideration and
evaded the basic facts in the situa-
ton, through such dilatory and in
adequate measures as the unwar-
ranted and inadequate st. Johns
acquisition.
The navy should BUILD an en-
tirely new and complete academy on
the Pacific Coast, in order to be
sufficient instrument for national de-
fense - and the war department
should do the same with respect to a
supplementary military academy, for
its West Point Academy is similarly
inadequate for it's needs and in
capable of expansion.
Detroit evening times., 1945-08-13

THE navy department in Washing
ton is reliably reported to have
taken under "serious consideration"
the proposal to establish permanent
naval academy on the Pacific Coast,
supplementing the existing facilities
for training officer personnel at the
historic Annapolis Academy.
1t is good to see the navy depart
ment taking this sensible attitude to-
ward the proposal, because that is
the only way the navy will ever have
ADEQUATE officer training facili.
ties.
For much too long a time, the
attitude of the navy toward the pro-
posed West Coast academy has been
one of REFUSAL to recognize the
meritorious and irrefutable and in
escapable facts about it.
More recently, the attitude of the
navy has been to EVADE the facts.
THE most recent evasive action of
L the navy has been the attempted
acquisition by condemnation of st.
John s College at Annapolis, which
adioins the naval academy and thus
offers some opportunity for expan-
sion of the existing facilities.
There are many objections to this
measure, not the least being the fact
that St. Johns College is one of the
oldest colleges in the United States
the THIRD oldest in fact-and it's
governing board objects to its ex-
tinguishment for any reason short Of
actual national necessity.
And Chairman Walsh of the Sen
ate Naval Affairs Committee, which
has authorized appraisal of st.
John College by the navy prepara-
tory to actual condemnation, frankly
acknowledges;
Il Judge il lDill be difficult for
most members of this committee to
reach a decision that the purchase of
st. Johns is the only Way out, that it
is an actual military necessity"
However, the major objection to
expansion of the naval academy by
this means-disregarding the obvious
and great injustice to one of the
nations s most venerable and honored
educational institutions-is in the
fact that it would not be an
ADEQUATE expansion, by any test
of military necessity.
1t would NOT give the navy suf-
