TAKE YEARS TO
BUILD UP NAVY

WASHINGTON. March "a. - Rear
Admiral bradley A. fiske declared be-
fore The house naval committee today
that, regardless of how many ships
were buIit. IL would be- impossible TO
carry out the general boards plan for
making the American navy equal TO
any fleet by 1925 because IL would
take ten years longer 10 develop and
train the personnel necessary TO man
the navy In first rank
You can, IL you appropriate money
enough, build enough ships TO equal
the ships of any other navy in three
years. said the admiral. but ships
do not make a navy" You would not
have the men, officers or training that
would bring navy up TO first rank.
why. you can't train a chess player
in five years, and how can you train a
corps Of strategists in that time? Great
Britain has been eight hundred years
training its men and bull ing up its
navy. We can never advance TO first
place until We change our system of
direction and preparation for war. We
can't catch up with Germany in FIVE
years. As To training men. we need to
train enlisted men. but the greatest
need is the training Of the admiraIs. -
ReiteratirS his official expressed
opinion that the navy never could be
made efficient a. long az its policies
were subject to change ~ everv rev
secretary Of the navy. the admiral
urged legislation for the establish
ment OF a general staff with statutory
powers and to define and extend the
powers OF the chief ~ onerations.
