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 take 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 the dangers which threaten –
both from without and within.
We favor appropriations for each of the Armed Services, adequate
for national security, economically administered.
We oppose any usurpation of the Congress’s constitutional
authority over the Armed Services.
We urge that our country maintain world leadership 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!
