The Navy League of the United
States, with the aid of other pa
triotic veteran and civic societies,
together with the United States
Navy, will participate in the observ
ance of October 27 of this year as
Navy Day, the 10th annual observ
ance of same, and the 73rd anni
versary of the birth of the late
President Theodore Roosevelt, that I
great American who had such a!
clear perception of the needs and j
mission of the Navy.
Lieutenant F. V. Barker, U. S. N., j
Assistant District Communication'
Officer of the 13th Naval district, j
in writing from the Alaska head
quarters of the Navy Department
at Mile Seven, Alaska, (near Cor-!
dova) says that “it is desired this I
year not only to commemorate the'
great part the Navy has played in
past times in making and keeping
us a nation, but also to foster a
true understanding of the present
state of the Navy and the past it
plays in our national life.
“It is particularly desired to em-!
pliasize the unity of the Navy with
every interest and activity of the
national life to the end that when
it is universally understood that j
the Navy does not provoke war, but j
is an instrument of stability in a !
troubled world, the American peo
ple, while supporting any plan of
equitable and proportionate lim
itation of navies, will reject as a
fallacy the thought that a weak
America will promote the peace of
the world.
“The object is to show that the
Navy’s activities in peace time are
sufficiently manifold to engage its
full attention without the neces
sity of resorting to hostilities to
justify its existence; that the per
sonnel of the Navy desire no test of
arms, seek no duel with the navies
of other powers.
“Their ambition is something far
more prosaic, much less spectacu
lar; it is to be so manifestly capa
ble of safeguarding the world-wide
trade and interests of the nation
that war will not be forced upon it,
external aggression will be un-!
thinkable, and peace will be as- j
sured. Such a mission is in the j
days of peace a potential contri- j
bution. It is frequently referred ’
to in Congress and in the press as i
vital “national insurance” or, bet- 1
ter, assurance.
“Yet in the longer peace-time
eras the Navy is not merely a pas
sive force but, as a progressive
American institution, extends its j
ramifications into many fields—in
dustrial. scientific, social and diplo
matic. Our Navy is bunt on the
glorious traditions of its infancy, j
those unsettled days from 1775 to j
1815 which gave to the nation such1}
immortal sayings as John Paul I
Jones, We have not yet begun to
fight,* James Lawrence’s ‘Don’t give
up the ship,’ and Perry’s ‘We have
met the enemy and they are ours.’
“That period showed the world
of what stuff our Naval personnel
is made, showed those capabilities
it is their ambition t;o possess to
day. And in striving to possess:
those capabilities, the Navy’s peace- j
time activities have brought into
:
current usage such expressoins as: '
“ ‘The Navy’s usefulness to sci- j
ence ana industry justifies its!
maintenance in the highest effi- i
ciency even though it may never j
be called upon to fire a hostile j
shot,’ and ‘The Navy’s errands of j
mercy have saved more lives than |
all its guns have ever destroyed.’ ” j
Australia consumes more sugar in I
proportion to its pouplation than |
any other country in the world, j
with America second and Great j
Britain a close third.
The first three months of this!
year Russia exported more than a
million pounds of candy to the
United States.
