HATS OFF TO
COAST GUARD
147 YRS. OLD
Today, August 4th, 1937. marks
the 147 birthday of the United
States Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard, our oldest
military organization afloat, was
establirfied by Secretary of the
Treasury Alexander Hamilton
under President Washington* on
August 4, 1790, as the infant Re
public’s first measure for pro
tection for customs revenue and
maritime commerce. At the time
of the organization of the Coast
Guard (first called the Revenue
Cutter Serve) the United States
had disbanded the Continental
Navy. As a result, this Service,
with its eight small vessels, was
cur only sea power until the Navy
was established in 1798.
A Three-Fold Duty
Through the years the Coast
Guard has been concerned with
the responsibility of performing
a three-fold duty: the saving of
life and property at sea. the en
forcement of laws pertaining to
customs revenue and maritime
■commerce, and active service as
part of the Navy in time of war
or whenever the President shall
so direct.
New Name Adopted
In 1871 the Congress recogniz
ed that lifesaving at sea and from
ashore was closely related to the
duty of assisting vessels in dist
ress. which the Revenue Cutters
had been performing. Therefore,
all matters connected with the
saving of life along the coast
were placed under the administ
ration of the Revenue Cutter Ser
vice at that time. This activity
was performed by an organization
known as the Lifesaving Service.
In 1878 the L.fesaving Service be
came an individual bureau of the
Treasury Department and was
separated from the Revenue Cutt
er Service. From 1878 until 1915
the two Serv.ces worked in close
harmony and performed pareilel
duties. In 1915 a reorganization
took place in which the Revenue
Cutter Service and the Lifesav
ing Service was combined. This
new organ.ration took the name j
"United States Coast Guard.”
Many Ships in Commission
At the beginning of the fiscal
year 1936-37 the Coast Guard had
in active commission 32 crusing
cutter. 46 sea going partol boats
and 217 smaller craft. Seven new
327-foot cruising cutters have
been completed during the past
year and a half. In addition to the
foregoing there are many motor
lifeboats which make up the eq
uipment of the 278 Coast Guard
Stations, and 9 Coast Guard Air
Station where 42 planes of various
types are operated by the Ser
vice in connection with its many
duties.
Remarkable Record
The performance of the num
erous services to the Nation and
to humanity, falling within the
previously mentioned three-fold
duties, requires a high degree of
efficiency at ail times. Today, the
Coast Guard in addition to its law
enforcement work, is maintaining
its remarkable record of saving
over 5,000 lives and 60 million
dollars worth of vessels and car
goes each year.

holding companies received the
tentative approval of the Senate
House Tax Investigating Commit

use of these “incorporated pock

the government huge sums in rev

the committee had decided on in
