WINSLOW SAYS NAVY
is INADEQUATE
Five Years to Make It Fit
Fighting Machine. Adj
miral Holds.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ai.-Adniral CAM
eron McI.ac Winslow, commander in
chief 81 the Pacific fleet and recognized
as one of the most progressive Officers
in the service, to-day told the House
Naval Committee that II the American
navy was to be made "a first class fight
ing machine IL must he operated by a
general staff In conformity with modern
usage and adopt "a system OF making
promotions for merit.
Admiral Winslow was asked to appear
before the committee as Il result OF n
suggestion by Representative Gardner
of Massachusetts. the evangel OF pre-
p~aredness. The witness answered qucs-
lions frankly and lief, the impression
that the American navy is deficient IN
many respects when comparison 10
made with the naval establishments OF
other first class Powers.
Admiral Winsiow old the committee
that In his opinion the navy Is not In
good fighting condition, and replying 10
a question, declared that he agreed N
fun with the statement made n year ago
by Admiral liske that it would take
five y.lrs to put the establishment IN
shape to wage effective warfare against
IN enemy.
i.vcn with the adoption Of the re-
forms he outlined. the addition of the
required personnel and the purchase of
needed material, Admiral WlnSl0w
thought at least five years would be
necessary to put the navy into first
class Sighting shape. He made the sug-
gcst.on that in lines like the present II
was unsafe 10 keep any " III" uavy's

should be ready for service. and "A re-
serve trained In order that personnel
needs might be supplied in case Of
trouble.
The witness told the committee that
in his opinion the i've year programme
now under consideration by Congress
is far from adequate, lie did no, think
= we'll rounded navy would result II
Congress adopted the pending pro-
grammc. He expressed the opinion that
The greatest need Of the navy is bate
cruisers. "A styie OF craft IN which he
thought .Nc Administration programme
was sadly deficient.
Admiral W!nslow. answering a ques-
tiUn. stated that he would no, limit the
building programme TO battleships, He
thought II should include b~att.eships,
battle cruisers and n proportionate num-
Der of al classes OF auxiliary craft.
II was brought out that the Pacific
feet" Is n feet in name only. II was
made w in large part OF tho obsolete
vessels and did not contain "A first class

mirai the force In the IHcitc was moi

When his flagship the cruiser San
Diego was out OF commission. Admiral
W.nslow said. lie used for the pur-
pose an obsolete vessel. the Iris, a
