He attacked Britten for "bandying

nowD Daniels demanded
I Daniels said Sims had made requests
for assignment of certain officers who
were needed here and his requests,
! therefore, had not been granted.
Daniels said he knew a rumor w@s
current that he had declined to furn-
|
because this officer occasionally
took a drink, but that this was alb
surd :"
'eBut when you ask such questions
in public" he said, turning to Britten,
cit conveys the impression there is
something wrong"
Well" said Britten, 81 hope there
is no intention by this committee or
the secretary to merely show the fav-
orable side Of the navy. This is an in
vestigation to get at the facts. ] pro-
pose to present two members, who have
been abroad many months, to ask that
Officers of both fighting ships and
transports be summoned" "
Heading Daniels testimony was the
disclosure that the navy today has un-
der construction 42S "capital and inn
Iportant ships' This does not include
$50 submarine chasers.
The secretary opened the hearing
with a recital of strenuous war prep
aration beginning with the fall Of 1918,
more than year before the United
States entered the war.
The navy has made ereditable
speedi' in some of its war work and
has had team work in all, he said.
Admitting that there may have been
some mistakes, Daniels added:
~ believe however. when you know
all we have attempted we win receive
your confirming judgment that we
have done as well as was possible un-
der all the circumstances, always bear
ling in mind the necessity Of doing ev-
erything under whip and spur, con-
scious that it must be done in such a
way as would necessitate doing it all
over again because Of hasty or uneon-
sidered action"

ness, but cit will kill men better than
no gun at all"
He said that the Browning gun, Of
ficially adopted for the United States
army, is beyond any question the best
machine gun ever invented.
j. Otterson, vice president of the
Winchester company, testified that il
the company had received the order
for Browning machine guns promptly
1T could have reached its maximum
daily output before next April, the pres
ent prospect.
Otterson supported Stoddard in show
ing that america s munitions makers
foreseeing this country's entrance in
to the war, had prepared their plants
to make American arms ahead of the
declaration Of war, on April g.
Stoddard advanced with manufac
ture of new aircraft gun without
government contracts and was read,
to supply them when the gun was ac-
cepted by the government.
Otterson contradicted General Gro
zier s testimony that the change made
in the Enfield rifle to make it fit Am
erican ammunition caused long delay
in rifle production.
cit only took thirty days. said
Otterson, "and to have changed the
machinery making allied rifles to max
ing American Springfields would have
taken a year and a half We went
ahead with this theory with the re-
suit that we began delivery in August
because we had been manufacturing
before we got our contract on July
~"
I Nevertheless, numerous delays were
caused by negotiations, Otterson claim
ed. These discussions with the war de-
partment took from March until July
before contracts were let and specifl
cations were not furnished until Au
gust.
Otterson went deeply into the tang
led history Of the modification of the
British Enfield rifle to make it use
American ammunition.
"We got orders on June ] to make
the rifles with seven interchangeable
parts,U he said. "On June Is, Colonel
Thompson, from the war department
changed the number to forty four. La
ter we got orders increasing the mum
Der Of interchangeable parts to fifty
lone.
Otterson said that while the discus
sion was going on concerning the mum
ber of interchangeable parts Genera
Crozier told Otterson' S company not t
increase its capacity or working force
"The result was a delay Of about
two MONTHS said Otterson.

marked the beginning of the house ma
val investigation today, followed by a
sharp tilt between Secretary Daniels
and Representative Britten, Illinois.
That the millions put into these craft
had been virtually a dead loss appear
ed to be Britten's conviction. He at.
tempted to draw from Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels, the first witness, the
admission that large numbers of ehas.
ers had been built on faulty lines and
failed to come up to expectations.
Daniels declared the chasers had
proven effective for their coast patrol
duties.
Stirred by repeated implications by
lBritten that the navy department had
not properly supported Admiral Sims,
commander in chief of the American
fleet in foreign waters, Daniels heat
