tonight for planning Ito give US a
promissory note for a navy, payable in
ten years with installments maturing
about five years from the date Of con-

No Fitness for Position.
1T is apparent that the secretary Of
the navy has not understood the situ-
alton as now sensed by the president"
continued Mr.. Menken, nor has he
had the inspiration or judgment to
recognize the greatness Of his task.
and bring to his aid Industrial leaders
capable Of handling great enterprises.
Mr.. Daniels has shown no fitness for
his position. nor title to continue in
1t. say this because at the present
juncture. with no politics, but prepar-
edness, no creed but America, We must
feel 1t the proper time to ask II the
American people show their belief In
Mr.. Wilson by re-electing him. wheth-
er four years more of Mr. Wilson
means four years more of Mr.. Daniels.
Menace to National Safety.
This is of the gravest moment to
those of us, who. while recognizing
Mr.. Daniels many admirable qualities
and political record, feel his control
of the upbuilding of our navy and its
personnel. is a menace to national
safety"
