THE PIONEER ORGANIZATION FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE IN THE
UNITED STATES

The

NAVY LEAGUE
of the

UNITED STATES

is the civilian arm of the United States Navy.
It believes in a navy second to none, as an
assurance of our security in war and of our
prosperity in peace.

During its existence the Navy League of
the United States has had occasion to contrib-
ute much toward our naval preparedness and
today as never before there is a need for this
civilian support. Organized in 1902 by a group
of patriotic citizens, the Navy League is a
non-partisan group whose only interest is the
national security which our Navy provides.

For 42 years its program has been designed
to secure the fullest civilian co-operation with
the Navy. The League will probably be of
even greater importance after the war and it
has a present project to build its membership
so that it may continue to be effective when
victory is won. Its immediate activities include:

1. All possible aid and assistance to the
officers and men of the naval service
supplementary to that extended by the
government and the authorized Relief
Agencies in the hope of lessening the
sacrifices they are called on to make.
