"In effect, it will make possiblein consertinuance of capable judges vice in our courts. It will eliminate possibility of removal of capable judges because of changes in partisan political sentiment." Governor Herbert B.

We have also led the way in making the aircraft carrier the striking arm of the modern fleet. Of Great Britain's 46 carriers, 34 were built in America. Thirty per cent of the British Naval Pilots received training in this country. The British cannot match our 100 aircraft carriers. The American Navy has taken advantage of every new scientific device which has been invented or perfected such as fire control, propulsion machinery, guns and armor. The British, on the other hand, design strong, powerful and simple ships, without all the gadgets to complicate combat op erations.
