LEJEUNE UPHOLDS " CRUISER PROGRAM Carabao Feast Is Enlivened Also by Many Humorous Army Reminiscences. Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, retiring commandant of the Marine Corps, de- clared at the annual banquet of the Military Order of the Carabao last night that America must go forward with its cruiser building program and must keep up the Army, Navy and Marine Corps so that “if we must have wars we want them in some one else’s back yard.” He injected the single serious note into a banquet otherwise devold of seri- ous discussion of the military aims of the United States, although most, of the high ranking officers of the three serv- foes were in attendance. Recounting the suffering of the na- tions allied in arms against the central powers in the World War, in which }_\e figured importantly, Gen. Lejeune said the horrors and casualties of interna- tiopal conflicts are forgotten as the ears 3 % “It '::“lhe glories of conflict that make war inevitable,” he declared. “That is why it is necessary to vote for 15 cruisers m:nmcl;eep up the Army, "“'vl?lu::n Mx:nu:e h?: not changed.

Rock, president of the Natfenal Associa- tion of Credit Men. ‘Through organized efforts of business interests, many fraudulent operations have been stamped out, and now, for the first time in history, the commercial criminal “is on the run,” he believes.

Purification Efforts. Speaking last night at the annual banquet meeting of the Washington Association of Credit Men, held at the ‘Willard Hotel, Mr. Rock declared credit is the life blood of modern business and described the successful work be- ing carried on through the agency of the national credit body to “purify” the stream of credit. “By and large, credit conditions of the United States at this time are very sound,” he declared. Mr. Rock at- tributed this laregly to co-operation of many phases of business in post-war days in bending efforts toward ex- panded distribution and consumption, at a time when production was forced to decline from abnormal war-time volume, Lister T.
