 Have No General Staff
 We have admiringly noted the won - derful work of the general staffs butt have provided no general staff or sim liar agency ourselves; though the recent creation of the office of chief of naval operations is "a step in that direction- that should have been taken five years ago. We have no tested war plans, as all naval officers know. American and foreign: no tested mobilization scheme As to gunnery, the news that keeps com- ing in of achievements in long-range fir ing by European ships shows us that while we are as good in gunnery as we have ever, been-our competitors have ac- complished feats greater than any that we have even attempted.
 This is destructive criticism some may say. True, but has destructive criticisnp no constructive value? Yes, because un- til destructive criticism points out faults, constructiveness will not be used and remedies will not be applied During the laborious hours of preparation no criti- cism can be too keen no searching out of faults too stern, no acknowledgement of deficiencies too frank When the time for action comes buoyant optimism will stimulate courage and spur eXertion; but untu thdt tline arriVes optimism ana self-satisfaction work in the interests of the enemy.
 Although the countrys sentiment is behind the country's navy, yet that navy itself is not a matter of sentiment but a matter of fact. Have we or have we not navy of such composition, organ- ization. size and skill that it could sucI cessfully resist a probable enemy in war 2
 "If no Is the answer then the reason and the money of hundred million peo- | pie must work upon the navy until 'nos gives place to yes The hundred milk l lion people of the country if they will prevent their own undoing, must build a navy that can keep her coasts inviolate !; navy that can guarantee freedom from foreign interference while the nation 1 works out it's destiny, navy that can further the aspirations of America and safeguard the happiness of her people,"
