STATEMENT OF POLICY
■ We of the Navy League of the United States
stand for a strong America — a nation morally,
economically, and internally strong.
■ We believe that the security of our nation and of
the people of the world demands a well-balanced,
integrated, mobile American defense team, of
which a strong Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard,
and Merchant Marine are indispensable parts.
■ We support all Armed Services to the end that
each may make its appropriate contribution to the
national security.
■ We know that in a free nation an informed public
is indispensable to national security and, therefore,
we will strive to keep the nation alert to dangers
which threaten — both from without and within.
■ We favor appropriations for each of the Armed
Services, adequate for national security, economi-
cally administered.
■ We oppose any usurpation of the Congress’s
constitutional authority over the Armed Services.
■ We urge that our country maintain world leader-
ship in scientific research and development.
■ We support industrial preparedness, planning,
production.
■ We support efforts of our government to
achieve worldwide peace through international
cooperation.
■ We advocate a foreign policy which will avoid
wars — if possible; if not, win them!
