A Characteristic Apology
tFrom the New York Tribune. }

The issue OF varacity between Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske and Secre-
tary Josephus Daniels has now been
adjusted in a manner thoroughly char
acteristic Of the administration of the
Navy Department under its present
head
Admiral Fiske, at that time Aid for
Operations. delivered to the Secretary
in November 1914. an elaborate mem
orandum on American naval policy. It
was pigeonholed and would probably
never have been permitted to see the
light Of day again if the Senate had
not recently called on the Secretary to
produce IL. The latter transmitted il
reluctantly and told the Senate that
h@had never seen or read IL. and had
not even known until recently of its
existence. The admiral took excep-
tion to this statement and requested
the Senate 10 authorize a committee to
examine into the truth of II.
An investigation was being consld-
cred. But now in an indirect and
grudging manner Mr.. Daniels has in
dicatod that he is willing TO retract his
assertions to the Senate and TO admit
that Admiral Fiske was right in say
ing that the memorandum was shown
10 him before II went on file. This
apology is not made in an open and
manly manner. either 20 the admiral
or TO the Senate, but appears in the
form of report to the President. in
serted in a letter written by the lat
ter to the chairman of the executive
committee of the American Defence
Society.
Mr. Daniels was naturally taken
ahack when the Fiske memorandum
was called for. Its publication was
bound TO put him in the unenviable
position Of having totally ignored a re-
markable forecast of the political and
military developments of the Euro
pean war so far as these wer likely to
affect American interests. Admiral
Fiske. as a student of war foresaw
with remarkable clearness, the dan
ge-s ahead-dangers arising from our
inability to keep clear of foreign com
plicstions He wrote:
During the next FIVE years we
must expect great number of
causes of disagreement between
this country and other countries
and periods of tension between
this government and others;
periods like that preceding the
Spanish war, needing only cas-

bury when he described the Republi-
can leaders as having their heads
over their shoulders and looking
backward, not forward" It was not
so long ago his own head was in that
position; and it was the Republican
leaders who changed it, and caused
him 20 look forward and not backward.
Mr.. Wilson is stalking much on pre-
paredness. It is the only really
strong card in his hand In effect. he
confesses to the fact in many things
he says and does.
And yet he is comparatively
recent convert. For more than a year
after the war in Europe had been
raging his head was over his shoul-
ders. He could not see that America
had anything to fear; and he ridi-
culed the vision of those who differed
with him Our army and navy suited
him exactly. He was as much a
pacifst a seither Mr.. Bryan or Mr..
Ford is today.
Then his head was shifted. Republi
can leaders in both House and Senate
began to thunder on the subject. and
he was obliged TO take notice Wisely
enough, too, he opened his eyes wide,
and took full notice. He went over
frankly and completely to the cause,
made a stumping tour to emphasize
his change of mind, and today is
counting heavily on preparedness to
give him a second term Although he
appropriated the proposition, he is
treating it as his own.
The Republican leaders might reply
too-as probably they will when the
time comes-that Mr.. Wilson cannot
take pleasure in looking backward
For an instance, there is the Balti
more platform. with its reference tc
one term in the Presidency; its in
dorsement Of the free passage through
the Panama Canal of American
coastwise ships; a material reduction
in appropriations for the government
tariff which should reduce the high
cost of living. And so forth.
But the President is right. as tC
the advisability of looking forward
AS a matter Of fact. both parties are
obliged to do so. Conditions are sc
new and so radical. opportunities can
not he improved by old methods on
slavishly old lines. If the Democrats
win, and Mr.. Wilson carries prepared
ness forward logically and effectively
he must be governed by the latest dis
coveries and improvements. II the
Republicans win. and in addition tc
preparedness address themselves tc
the rehabilitation of protection as an
economic policy, their new tariff law
must be drawn in conformity with the
changes that have taken place both at
home and abroad since 1909. when
their latest work of that kind was
performed and came to grief.

Admiral Fiske was right. We had
the Lusitania massacre and the Co
lubus. n. NJ. raid. and we are likely
to be many more times on the verge
Of war But Mr.. Daniels was at that
time living in a FOOLS par9iise of
fancied security. He believed, with
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, that the people who talked as
Admiral Fiske did about the necessity
Of military preparation. were merely
nervous and excited" In that su-
percilious mood a memorandum like
Admiral Fiskes must have seemed to
him a mere annoyance, and there Is
no reason 10 doubt that it made only
the most casual impression on his
mind.
n Mr. Daniels mental balance had
not been upset by the Presidents sud
den shift three or four months ago to
a belligerent advocacy (for the mo-
ment al ieasN OF real preparedness,
he would have told the Senate the
truth, without fear Of the conse-
quences. He would have said that he

TO listen to the idle chatter Of "nerv-
Gus and excited" naval experts
he knew Of no place more suitable
than department pigeonhole for the
advice given him by naval strategists.
Instead Of that he ran TO cover be-
hind the flimsy plea that he had never
seen the Fiske report or even heard
Of IL. Nor has he now the manliness

tion which he uniustly cast upon the

But is anybody surprised? Far from
il. The Fiske apology. petty in its
manner and grudglng in its spirit, is
only in line with the policy which Mr..
Daniels has followed from the be-
ginning in dealing with naval officers
of all grades and with the highest in
terests of the navy itself.
