NEED OF WARSHIS TOLD BY ADMRAL W. H. Standley, U. S. N., Ret views Naval Requirements in Kiwanis Club Address. The early replacement of naval ves- sels becoming obsolete was urged by Rear Admiral W. H. Standley, U. S. N, in an address before Secretary of Navy Gurtis D. Wilbur and a notable gather- ing of naval and marine officers at a “Navy y” luncheon program of the Kiwanis Club in the Hotel Washington yesterday. “Unless there is further agreement between the various powers, the situa- tion as to the comparative strength of navies is exactly the same today as it was before the Kellogg peace treaties to renounce war were signed,” the speaker said. Admiral Standley declared that “the existence of laws and treaties have the effect of laws, but does not insure obe- dience to the laws. There still must be a sanction which can. be applied when other measures fail. As illus- trating this,” he continued, “I need only call your attention to the fact that there are laws on the statute books of this country to cover every conceivable human act, but in spite of those laws every city and community hag its well organized police force.” In his address Admiral Standley de- clared that the role of the Navy in peace is not understood by the general public “is evident by the statements which are now beig circulated, even in the churches, to the effect that we should not be prepared to protect our- selves or to enforce our neutral rights when other nations are fighting. They say if we have the shipe we will start a fight.” “On this same line of reasoning,” he declared, “if we give a policeman a club he will start a fight, or if we gi.2 the fire department machines they will start a fire,” adding: “The purpose of the Navy is to put out international conflagrations, not to start them.” Cites Foreign Trade. ‘The speaker dwelt on the importance of foreign trade and the fact that the United States is the largest importer of goods and the second largest exporter in the world, and stated that “upon the security of this stupendous sea-borne commerce depends the very existence of our largest industries and the livelihood of millions of our citizens.” He then quoted Theodore Douglas Robinson, As- sistant Secretary of the Navy, in giving reasons for the maintenance of the Navy and referring to it as the “pro- tector and friend of the merchant marine.” In this general connection Admiral Standley said: “We need only consult the building program recommended to the last Con- gress by the President to be convinced that the naval authorities and the Let Us Demonstrate the Atwater Kent Radio TERMS IF DESIRED 1350 H St. N.E. Line., 148 President of the United States do not believe that we have an adequate Navy. “The action on program by the House committee on naval flairs is ample evidence that the country is not as much alive to the necessity for a Navy as they are to the necessity for a merchant marine, else the cruiser bill would certainly have been enacted into law by the last Congress.” Referring to the I'iwanis Club,. he sald: “The greatest assistance this or- ganization can render in the obsefv- ance of Navy day is to urge the public to support the cruiser building program now before the Senate.” Ad:ises More Chips. Toward the close of his address, in touching on the general subject of re- Placement of naval vessels, the speaker said: “There is a special reason why re- placement of types of vessels other than capital ships *should be energetically proceeded with now. In a few years capital ship replacements will be re- quired, and under the Washington treaty will not only be allowed but must be undertaken 'at the time mentioned. If necessary cruiser, aircraft carrier, destroyer and submarine replacements be not proceeded with now, there will be an unfortunate congestion of re- quired naval building when capital ship replacements are in order. There will -be difficulties in providing the necessary design and inspection forces and other facilities, and in obtaining the considerably funds required for such a large amount of naval building.” Secretary Wilbur in a brief address declared that no higher compliment has been paid the naval and Marine forces than that by the various factions in|paj Nicaragua, where the Marines aided in maintaining peace. Yesterday was chosen by the Kiwanis Club for the observance of Navy day, as it was its nearest luncheon to Octo- ber 27, the official Navy day. Radford Moses presided at the meeting. An- nouncement was made that the club will hold its annual ladies’ night meet- ing in the Mayflower Hotel tomorrow night. Among the guests present were Rep- resei‘ative William H. White, chairman of merchant marine committee; Rear Admiral F. H. Schofield, chief war plans division; Read Admiral R. H. Leigh, chief of Bureau of Navigation; Rear Admiral H. E. Yarnell, chief of Bureau of Engineering; Rear Admiral L, E. Gregory, chief of Bureau of Yards and Docks; Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, com- mandant of the Marine Corps; Rear Admiral A. L.

There is no classier renown than that for paying money down when in the marts of trade; it ‘ylelds a comfort truly great to feel we owe no human skate; that all our bills are paid. Some day perchance our luck will turn and we will have no coin to burn; our jobs may fizzle out. Or fell disease may lay us low and we may have in throbbing toe the symptoms of the gout. No man can say what ills may come and knock his fortunes out of plumb before the day is spent. Disaster of a grievous brand may just around the corner stand, upon our ruin bent. When sald disaster knocks us lame it is a blessing to have fame for being prompt to pay, for hating debt as we should hate all evil things that congregate along our mortal way. The day may come when we shall need a charge account so we may feed our hungry aunts and wives; so we may buy the children’s hats and garments to protect their slats and save their precious lives. The merchant princes then will smile when we ask credit for a while; theyll grasp our hands and say, “Just go the lmit in our store and buy three tons or maybe four, and when you're ready, pay." But if we've always dodged our bills, we’ll find, amid increasing 1lls, our standoff is threadbare. The merchant princes will refuse to sell brass knuckles, spuds or shoes, or goose grease for our ir. WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1928.)
