STRONG NAVY, PLEA BY CAPT. WAINWRIGHT (Centinued From First Page) ! | harmony. He emphasized the effect of | trade on domestic tranqguilty and stat- | ¢4 that the commeree question wi very peinted one in (his eonnection, Interference with commerce might | bring about a domestie upheaval threugh the lack of markets for American goeds, No interal peace may be had without stable trade relations a8 the foreign markets are necessary for prosperity, No power, influepce, or special privilege should be allowed to interfere with comfierce. We have ample means for handling opr own goods in this eountry. Bat in shipping to foreign ports we should be in a pos sition to send American goods on American ships, manned by Ameri. cans, Human nature is human nature the world over, particularly when the dollar 18 cemcerned and our goods, | shipped in competition with those of another country’s on ships belonging lo l e other country would naturally ess preference in loading and hladllnl and would immediately be subjected to a handieap. The only means of shipping our goods without this handicap would be the sending of of them on American ships. The policy of the Open Door, one of the funda- mental policies of the United States, | 18 no new one, it is merely tha princi- ple of equal rights in trade with spe- clal dispensation to none, Without an adequate merchant marine the Open Door is 1ike a closed book, We are dependent on our foreign markets for prosperity and domestic tranquillity, we must have the means of shipping to all four corners of the globe, American goods on American ships flying the American flag. The provision for common defense meant joint preparation for defense against invasion, suppression of undue external influence, The speaker used this phrase to drive home his argu- | ment for am efficient navy. Need of Strong Navy In the early days, when the United States was young, small in popula- tion and ngt competing commercially with other nations there was no need for a navy but in these days when we are the richest, most resourceful and most potentially powerful the only way to maintain our foreign policy is to have a navy sufficiently’ strong to enforce that policy. Our every act is receiving the closest scrutiny from abroad, we must have the power to insure ‘enforcement of international acts and laws, Power is necessary be- hind any law, in order that it may be observed. Power is necessary behind our forgign policy, in order that our acts may be respected. The navy furnishes that power, Serbia would not have received the demands from Austria in 1914 if she had had the necessary power. Until we came to the Utopian time when every man. loves | every other we must have protection " against aggredsiveness. The merchant marine needs a navy behind it. Might never made right but might holds right and our foreign policy must be upheld. -Appeals for Patriotism Liberty and happiness, the third “elaue, was used to appeal for pa- triotism fronr all. In present day America there are various ‘“isms,” menacing the unity of the; whole. No one wants war, but who can say there | will not.be war and if the point came | ‘where there was nothing left but strife every man should be, willing to lay . down his life and his all for the in- surance of liberty and happiness to the coming generations. The coming generation should not be "allowed to grow up without patriotism and love of country. The delegates and guests of the Legion were gathered to com- memorate the greatest event of their lives, when they went forth to fight for posterity. Some of the men “went west,” The evetlasting and enduring glory of their supreme sacrifice should | be kept alive, the children, of today should be told of the stirring scene$ of a few years ago in order that the spirit of patriotism should be instile in them. It is the obligation of the veterans, who lnow the cost, to engender in the coming generation patriotism and loyalty to country, to combat un- American tendencies and boring from within. No one is better fitted than the veteran, no one has greater obliga- | tions to spread patriotism and love of country.

In the first place, the eonsoli- dation meant the placing of the ad-| ministrative functions of the hursuu‘ under one roof jnstead of under two, This change necessarily meant the transfor of many of the office’ force from New Haven to Hartford, but I am pleased to say that two-thirds of the New Haven office force are now giving 100 per cent service in the Hartford office, They caught the spirit and have made it possible for us to render a type of service to our dis- abled, under the consolidation plan, that has exceeded our fondest hopes. “Under the able leadership of Ma- jor Lent,.the organization has been whipped into such shape, that, though there are fewer in number of person- nel, we are rendering to those, whom we are privileged to serve, far bet- ter service than was possible under the old arrangement. There has been no impairment of the ..service, but rather an increase in the efficiency of the service. We have follow-up nur- ses in the field as in the past,. train- ing officers supervising the training of the men both in institutions and in placement training as in the past, and we have adequate medical facilities. “At the time of the consolidation, which occurred about three months ago, there were 73 men in process of induction into training. Today, we have less than 12 men waiting induc- tion into training and in several of these cases, we are waiting for other districts to accept them for training within their districts. We have sup- plied some 80 or more men Wwith tools and equipment and we have re- habilitated 110 men durifgthe 90 days that has passed since consolidation. “I am here to report progress, not promises. The only promise that we will make is that we will give to each and every claimant a fair and square deal. I might go on at length show- ing you further advantages of the consolidated plan, but these few facts presented to you, I believe, will con- close on to llmi? | of in the right direction and that our dis- abled ones have been greatly bene- fited by that change. In dollars and cents, there will be a considerable saving, but this is not to be compared, with the improved service that it is possible for us to render, under the consolidated plan. ¥ Invites Cooperation. “In closing, I want to invite you members of the American Legion to continue’ to render the splendid spirit of cooperation that you have mani- fested in the past; go out and crystal- lize the spirit of cooperation with the bureaun amongst the public. Assure them that the U. 8. Veterans’ Bureau today, from General Hines down, is cempgsed of people who have a heart interest in the disabled. Tellthem that we invite criticlsm that is con- structive.
