"Nobody's Fault"

perhaps this is nobody's fault" the
letter continues, and may be attribute
to the fact that our navy has never
had to fight a serious enemy; certain.
ly not in a hundred years"
Admiral Fiske then appends an areu.
ment for the creation of a navy gen.
eral staf.
Commenting on this letter, Secretary
Daniels in his communication to the
Senate says:
This communication was not fur
nished to me and l did not know OF
its existence until long after it was
written. 1t was filed with the chief
clerk without my knowledge that i,
had been written. Although Rear
Admiral Fiske was in my office daily
he did not tell me that he had placed
the communication on file."
The Secretary adds that the first
search of the files of his department
had failed to disclose the Fisk letter
as 1t had been written by an officer who
looked it up several times. but could
not find it." The copy transmitted, he
adds. was obtained by the department
from Admiral Fiske at Mr.. Daniels
request.
