Vinson Bill, can be interpreted as | a clear mandate of the American | people that henceforth it shall be} a considered obligation on the} pert of our government to build | and maintain a navy within the| framework of existing treaties that will be commensurate in} ships and personnel with our re-| quirements for national safety, our seaborne commerce and our world- wide commitments. We can in- deed take heart that recognition of our legitimate naval aspirations. our needs and requirements have evoked such a sympathetic and understanding chord in our fel-| low compatriots, the American people “With such an inspiration I am{ sure that we will continue to vin-; dicate the faith and loyalty of our leader, President Roosevelt, who, on the occasion of this Navy Day, thas written: “I am certain that they, the officers and men of the navy. will continue to justify the confidence of their countrymen and perpetuate the high endeavor efficiency and tradition that has marked the service of the navy to, the nation.” | br: “CLAUDE SWANSON.” in February anda keen and cultivated sense of harmony and rhythm.

On Wednesday night the finals were held in Moore Park and , there were more than 25.000 people present to hear the con- certs. Lieutenant Harris says this ar- ray of drum and bugle corps pre- sented an appearance that was exceptionally beautiful and under the flood lights were gorgéous i both as to uniforms and equip- ment. And well they might be as a conservative estimate places the cost of equipment and uni- forms at about $50,000. These corps were completely equipped with modern bugles which gave them a range making it possible to play a number of operatic selections during the contest. Among these the Sex- tettee from Lucia and the Jewe! Seng from Faust were played. At the end of the contest, which lasted from 7 o'clock until mid night, the Marlbaro.
