It was also recommended that none of the cruises should extend over the end of any calendar month, aa | many business houses require that all of their personnel, even during the vacation period, be in their offices at this perfod. The department has already an- nounced the annual cruises for 1926, but the re: recomniendution apply to these crulses, all of which start on Thursday. Com pliance with the Reserve officers’ recommendation will mean an en- tire chunge of the schedules for tak- Ing out to sea all of the reservists, Cap st promised that he would take the matter up promptly to rtain what could be done. T'he convention » adoped a reso- lution providing that_no funds ap- propristed for the Naval Reserve should be expended on any vessel of the Navy which i3 not available at nes for the training of the re- erves. It also urged, by n ships which are vital of the 1l Reserve their assignments by the tment, and that if ‘there ing such ships but which full us 1 to do so, and if this Jie that the to the be et Navy Deps are units ha are not makir uld be u s not | on that it not result in a policy of with- drawing all station ships Milintenance of reserve units at re- quired strength and held to strict com- plance with the department's drill resulations alsu was urged, with the proviso that if any unit did not so mauntain s efficlency it should be anded, so thut the unit could be red to some other place where ere on the waiting list. To have Nt units on. paper, it was ted out, struck at the very life of the reserve in ils efforts to build up to an eflicient £ o resolved that medical officers should be glven the to examine personnel officers of the Regulur Navy, larly where the latter were not It was pointed out that in time war these reserve surgeons perform_the ie duty of the regu- lars. and that in time of peace they should be ailowed the same authority. Bands for reserve organizations also were requesied as an important ad- Jjunct in keeping up the morale of the men and maintaining interest. The association opposed the mark- ing of examination papers of officers by a board in Washinston, and urged that district boards be appointed for this purpose. Those in Washington, it was pointed out, are not familiar with the personal qualifications of prospective officers, and do not give any consideration to previous experi- ence or efficlency of an officer and his value to his organization Another thorn in the side of the re- serve was touched upon by the re quirement of the r ations that offi- cers of the volunteer reserve, if they sfer to the fleer reserve, even though of high rank, take the 1sign and go to the bottom e list. It was hat this was a discrimina- many loyal reserve offi cers, fation recommended t when nsfers are made the officers only be required to go to the bottom of the list of officers in the grade which they are holding. The present reserve regulations, it also was pointed out, were drawn up without officers in the fleld and in close contact with flourishing organi- itions present. and because of thut fact it already has been found neces- sary to make certain changes in them. To avold such a conditlon in the fu- ture the reserve officers recommended that a board of naval reserve officers he appointed by th Navy point tion to meet in Washington twice for the purpos of bringing to shington close contact with the nizations in the field and that no changes be made in the regulations until the board has had an opportu- nity to meet and discuss the matter. It was requested that such a board he appointed in the very mear future to consider cha mmended at the con i Th tion opposing ing on active 3 partment while holding officer posi- tions in ssociation. It was pointed out that circumstances may in the fat where the best erests of the reserva may conflict with the declared policles of the de- partment, which might make 1t em- barrassing and might prove prejudi- clal to the interests of the reserve officers on active duty to urge con- trary action Copies of 1 the resolutions adopt. 1 were ordered forwarded to the ecretary of the Nav.
