STRENGTH OF U.S. NAVY
COMMENT BY ADMIRAL NIMITZ (Rec. 8 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 15. Admiral Chester Nimitz, in a speech, said that the present United States Navy of 500,000 men, a sixth of its wartime peak strength, was large enough. An annual inventory should .. i taken with a view to making further reductions, he said. “It can no more be said that the Navy is obsolete than that men are obsolete and unnecessary in /war. As science contributes to modern war methods new tools replace old in the hands of fighting men, but hitherto science has not found a way to replace men.”
