Description
Commander Harold E. Stassen, USNR Aide and Flag Secretary to Admiral William F. Halsey, USN, at a press conference in the Navy Department. He urged a strong Navy after the war and commented on the over-optimism about the war and defeatism about the peace on the home front. Commander Stassen, who resigned as Governor of Minnesota to join the Navy, had the highest praise for the matter-of-fact fighting patriotism of our soldiers, sailors, and marines all around the globe.
