Navy Chief Of Navigation
To Arrive This Morning
For Tour OfInspection
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, U.S.N.,
Chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
will inspect Michigan's NROTC unit
today.
NROTC cadets were in uniform
yesterday in observance of Navy Day.
Iwhich the unit celebrated by holding
open house and today they will again
don uniforms in honor of Admiral
Nimitz. F
Admiral Nimitz will be in Ann Ar-
bor only a few hours this morning,
as his busy schedule calls for him to
move on to a Ford plant inspection.
But he will be in Ann Arbor long
enough to get an impression of Mich-
igan's fast-growing NROTC unit,
rated among the country's best, al-
though only in its second year.
Besides holding open house at its
North Hall headquarters, the unit
participated in ,yesterday's Navy Day
celebration by sponsoring a two-win-
dow display in a downtown Ann Ar-
bor bank. A banner issue of the ",Pel-
orus," under the editorship of V. L.
Coltri, '44E, was distributed yesterday
in commemoration of Navy Day. The
lead article of this monthly cadet
publication described the origins and
traditions- of the Day.
A group of NROTC cadets, accom-
panied by Lt. J. E. Fitzgibbon, of the
naval science department, attended
a Navy Day ball in Jackson yesterday
rounding out the unit's celebration
of Navy Day.

I say that we do not propose to

Our determination not to take it
lying down has been expressed in the
orders to thehAmerican Navy to shoot
on sight. Those orders stand.
Furthermore, the House of Repre-
sentatives has already voted to amend
[part of the Neutrality Act of 1937,
today outmoded by force of violent
circumstances. The Senate Com-
mittee on foreign relations has also
recommended elimination of other
hamstringing provisions in that Act.
That is the course of honesty and of
realism.

Our Amerlcan merchant ships
must be free to carry our American

Ships Must Be Protected
Our American merchant ships must
be protected by our American Navy.
It 'can never be doubted that the
goods will be delivered by this na-
tion, whose Navy believes in the tra-
dition of "damn the torpedoes; full

stantly expanding. Our output must
be multiplied.
It cannot be hampered by the self-
ish obstruction of a small but dan-
gerous minority of industrial man-
agers who hold out for extra profits,
or for "business as usual." It can-
not be hampered by the selfish ob-
struction of a small but dangerous
minority of labor leaders who are a
menace to the true cause of labor it-
self, as well as to the nation as a
whole,
All The Seas
The lines of our essential defense
now cover all the seas; and to meet
the extraordinary demands of today
and tomorrow our Navy grows to un-
precedented size. Our Navy is ready
for action. Indeed, units of it in
the Atlantic patrol are in action. Its
officers and men need no praise from
me.
Our new Army is steadily develop-
ing the strength needed to withstand
the aggressors. Our soldiers of to-
day are worthy of the proudest tra-
ditions of the United States Army.
But traditions cannot shoot down
dive bombers or destroy tanks. That
is why we must and shall provide,
for every one of our soldiers, equip-
ment and weapons-not merely as
good but better than that of any
other army on earth. And -we are
doing that right now.
For this-and all of this-is what
We mean by total national defense.
The first objective of that defense
is to stop Hitler. He can be stopped
and can be compelled to dig in. And
that will be the beginning of his
downfall, because dictatorship of the
Hitler type can live only through con-i
tinuing victories-- increasing con-
quests.
The facts of 1918 are proof that a
mighty German army and a tired
German people can crumble rapidly
and go to pieces when they are faced
with successful resistance.
Nobody who admires qualities of
courage and endurance can fail to
be stirred by the full-fledged resis-
tance of the Russian people. The
Russians are fighting for their own
soil and their own homes. Russia
needs all kinds of help-planes, tanks.
guns, medical supplies and other aids
-toward the successful defense
against the invaders. From the
United States and from Britain, she
is ge.tting great quantitiesof those
essential supplies. But the needs of
her huge army will continue-and
our help and British help will have
to continue!
Justification Of Russian Aid
The other day the Secretary of
State of the United States was asked
by a Senator to justify our giving aid
to Russia. His reply was: "The an-
swer to that depends on how anxious
a person is to stop and destroy the
march of Hitler in his conquest of
the world. If he were anxious enough
to defeat Hitler, he would not worry
about who was helping to defeat
him."
Upon our American production
falls the colossal task of equipping
our own armed forces, and helping to
supply the British, the Russians and
the Chinese. In the performance of
that task we dare not fail. And we
will not fail.
It has not been easy for us Ameri-
cans to adjust ourselves to the shock-
ing realities of a world in which the
principles of common humanity and
common decency are being mowed
down by the firing squads of the Ges-
tapo. We have enjoyed many of
God's blessings. We have lived in a
broad and abundant land, and by our
industry and productivity we have
made it flourish.
There are those who say that our
great good fortune has betrayed us---
that we are now no match for the
regimented masses who have been
trained in the Spartan ways of ruth-
less brutality. They say that we have
grown fat, and flabby, and lazy-and
that we are doomed.
But those who say that know no-
thing of America or of American life.
Land Of Endless Challenge
They do not know that this land
is great because it is a land of endkk%.s
challenge. Our country was first
populated, and it has been steadily
developed, by men and women in
whom there burned the spirit of ad-
venture and restlessness and ind'ivid-
ual independence which will not tol-
erate oppression.
Ours has been a story of vigorous
challenges which have been accepted
and overcome-challenges of un-
charted seas, of wild forests and des-
ert plains, of raging floods and with-
ering drought, of foreign tyrants and
domestic strife, of staggering prob-
lems-social, economic and physice;
and we have come out of them the
most powerful nation-and the free-
est-in all of history.
Today in the face of this newest
and greatest challenge, we Americans
have cleared our decks and taken our
battle stations. We stand ready in
the defense of our nation and th
faith of our fathers to do what God
has given us the power to see as our
