SEA POWER VITAL (Continued From ]*nise One) recognize the fact that, with the conclusion of the present war, it may only be a matter of time, perhaps • only a few years, until the world will be threatened with World War III. In anticipation of future emergencies the American people should desire to maintain a navy second to none and equal to any possible combinations of navies. The best assurance of a peaceminded people remaining at peace is the systematic maintainance of a naval arm so strong that no aggressive or ambitious nation will dare challenge it. The best proof of this is the present naval strength of Great Britain. She has remained undefeated primarily because of her naval strength and her effective blockade. The present war cannot be won by any nation without decisive naval supremacy.

Il€ k l v amv Clin|»€ k l Dr. Paul Fay, professor of psychol>gy at DePauw and delegate to the ecent Continental Congress of the •'ight for Freedom held in Washingon. D. C., urged American people to realize the dangers of the present

world situation.

American people, he pointed out. ire victims of a sort of mass psychosis. the phychosis of flight from reality. There is the individual so oreoccupied in his own little existnee that he can take no time nor interest in the war; there are those who believe it is impossible for Hitter to bridge the ocean; there are those idealists who sincerely are against war; and there are those half-hearted people who believe in aid to Britain short of war. The Fight for Freedom according to Dr. Fay believes in the shipping ol American goods to any port in the world. They realiz , he acknowledged. that such a proceedure would mean a declaration of open war. “However,” he said, “the American way has not been to deny those things not right and just. There are some things worse than war.” The convention wo a n-enactment of the first Continental Congress at which the American people began their fight for freedom. This convention was the fight for the presetvation of that freedom. Many w II known figures wen present including August Lindbeigh. cousin *i Charles A. Lindbergh and Sergeant Alvin York of World War fame.
