Ing The law gave the secretary only authority
to execute the commands of his superior, the
president of the United States. The chiefs of
bureaus are men In charge of the execution of
certain work. There was to shape poll
cies. The general board was created in 1900 for
that purpose.
For three years the general board concentrated
upon single idea-that of determining definite
building program for the United States 1t want
ed to look 20 years into the future, appreciate
what conditions would be at that time and stead
lily develop the navy to meet those future condi-
tons 1t believed it would require 20 years to
develop the right sort Of navy, that here was a
sort OF work that could not be improvised.
So, after three years Of study the general
board outlined a policy for building program
for the navy. 1t called for the development of a
fleet of As batteships in 1920. 1t wanted 1872
destroyers to go with them and 90 submarines
and various other auxiliares. 1t wanted the
fleet that the nation is just coming to ap-
preciate as the proper fleet for its uses
The general board recommended this building
program. Its recommendations went to the Sec
Rotary and were pgeonholed. They were not
even sent to the naval committees of congress-
Each year the general board reconsidered the
question and each time the same recommendation
was made. They got no further than the depart
ment files.

recommendations of the general board togsarI
with its arguments for the navy that II thou
should be developed
In it's recent recommendations to the secreusI
of the navy, the general board stated that
realized that there was little hope OF reachnI
the ideal navy that it had planned for 1879 Il
that IT should be reached as soon as pOsEs|
thereafter. Continuing, it said:
The board does believe however, that as|
result may be eventually attained by the adouix|
by the government of definite naval policy ud
the putting of it before congress and the pevIl
clearly and succinctly. BY this method respma|
bility for any rupture of our peaceful relatn|
with other nations due to our naval weakness 4
any national disaster in war due to the anl
cause will be definitely fixed.
The general board believes that the pecvs|
with full understanding of the meaning and ID
reasons for naval power, will instruct the egsh!
tive branch of the government and that tn1
branch with the same understanding will PM

of clearly defined, definite policy, the depr|
ment with whom the responsibility first rf|
will have done its part and placed the respond

of the government. If the people. having b's|
given the meaning and the reasons for ma|
power, fail to instruct congress, the responsblp|
