FISKE'S WORD
Is ACCEPTED AS FINAL.
President Wilson Quotes Memorandum
by Secretary Daniels Regarding
Recent Controversy,

The American Defense Society has
received from President Wilson his re-
ply to request made on May Ia for
an investigation of a controversy be-
tween Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and Rear Admiral F'iske.
This matter regards a letter which
Admiral Fiske declares ne had per-
sonally delivered TO Secretary Daniels
calling attention to what he charac-
terizol deficiencies in the navy. Mr..
Daniels contended that the letter was
handed to the chief clerk of the dc
partment and was not seen by him.
The Presidents letter included a
memorandum from Secretary Daniels
stating that he accepted AdmiralFiske's
statement regarding the letter, but that
personally he had no recollection OF
the incident The President declined
TO comment on a difference which he
termed merely one of recollection of
an incident"
President Wilson's letter follows:
Il am in receipt of your letter of the
18th of May. | referred it to the Sec
rotary of the Navy. and he has furnish
ed me the following memorandum:
Some days ago, in response to a
resolution of the Senate, ! transmitted
TO that honorable body a copy of q
communication written by Rear Ad-
miral Fiske in November, 1914. In
transmitting the letter | stated that
had not seen it, and | hid not know
that il had been filed until long after it
was filed with the chief clerk.
I'm a recent letter to the Senate,
Rear Admiral Fiske stated that my
statement showed a lapse of memory
because he had presented the letter to
me and | had read it. ! have no recol-
lection that his paper was ever present
ol to me, or of reading it. Inasmuch,
however as Admiral Fiske stated that
he did show it TO me before it was filed,
|, of course, accept his statement
1t was his custom, while aid 70:
operations, to present to me scores of
papers bearing upon all naval matters
1t is utterly impossible for any Cabinet
officer, in the multiplicity Of papers
presented to him, to recall all of them
had talked with Rear Admiral Fiske
several times about the subject matter
of the communication, upon which |
had rather fixed views. But | do not
when my letter was written to the Sen
ate, and do not now, recall that he hail
at any time committed his views to
paper. presented them to me- or place.
them on file.
"Inasmuch as the difference referred
to in your letter between the Secretary
of the Navy and Rear Admiral Fiske is
merely one of recollection of an Incl
dent which occurred in November, 1914
and inasmuch as the Secretary says
that, while he has no recollection OF
having read the communication by
Rear Admiral Fiske, he is willing to
accept the Admiral's statement, the
matter does not seem to me to call for
any comment"
