WEAPONS OF WAR
UNITED NATIONS' NEEDS Rec. 2 p.m. NEW YORK, Aug. 31. Admiral E. J. King, Chief of Naval Operations, told the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce that the war would be long and tough and would bring many heartaches and disappointments, but the United Nations would win. "We have insufficient killing tools yet," he said, "to make our real strength felt. The two-ocean navy is not yet a reality. We still lack smaller warships. The navy expects more than 1,500,000 men for the service next year. Enlistments will be kept on a voluntary basis."
