What Admiral Sald. Admiral Kittelle, in the course of his speech, stated: "Our country had its foundation built upon the loftiest principles of life and these we must keep in the front of our minds and resolutely uphold in these days when there has been a general breaking down in many quarters of the world.

"We must stand resolutely, for law and order to against any effort to break them down, whether that effort come from the villainous neat of Bolshevism or from some few of our own misguided people whose pink rather than red ideas would destroy, if possible, our means of defense against aggrcakku.

In order to solve it successfully, attention must be directed not only-to-the- improvement of agriculture but also to the reform of the fishery and stock-farming industries. Efforts must be made to increase production and to improve the quality of the goods produced by means of a cheap-supply-of-ferti- Hiser, the utilisation of electric power, etc., while at the same time trying to supply these goods at moderate prices.
