WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.-Surprise is
felt here at the British censoring of
Arthur II. Pollen's latest article, de-
scribed in yesterdays London dis
patches. Mr.. Pollen's proposal was, in
brief, to bring the brains of the United
States Navy into more intimate con-
tact with the submarine problem.
In spite of the Admiralty statement
in Parliament that the views Of Mr..
Pollen were known to be in conflict
with those OF the United States Navy
Department and likely to undermine
confidence and cooperation between the
navies of this country and England,
it is known here that there is a strong
sentiment in the United States for
just such an approach TO the big sea-
fighting problem of the war as Mr..
Pollen suggested.
The idea discussed by Mr.. Pollen has
been preached here without offence in
these columns, and subsequently in the
magazines. IL is not known that Mr..
Daniels or his close advisers ever ex-
pressed an opinion upon it, but it has
been repeatedly said on good author
ity that had an invitation come from
England such a commission to study
naval strategy as Mr. Pollen proposed
hap oh
Feeling Is Exaggerated
II any sentiment against the plan
existed such as the Admiralty financial
secretary described in Parliament, it
must have been found in the British
Navy. But the general opinion here is
that the Admiralty secretary's lam
guage exaggerated the real feeling
there about the plan to increase Amer
lean participation in the direction of
the sea war.
Lack of proper organization in re-
laton to naval warfare is apparent.
This country is a great naval power.
Prospectively, if the war lasts long
enough and the rosy predictions of the
Navy Department are realized, 1t Will
be the most important naval factor IN
the war, having more destroyers IN
pursuit of submarines than England
herself.
Vice-Admiral Sims is an able man,
chosen for his post because he was one
of the best Of the ranking officers of
the navy. But his task is to command
his feet. His business is not strategy
in it's larger aspects. but sdmnistra-
ton. He may find the way to win the
war. lust as the head of an industrial

corporation may personally make a
great labor-saving invention. But IT IS
not customary to expect Inventions
from corporation executives nor war
policies from feet executives.
In addition to contact with the naval
war in the person of Admiral Sims, this
nation establishes occasional contact
of wider sort with II through naval
conferences. One such has just been
held in London and attended by Ad-
miral Mayo How fruitful it was has
not been disclosed, and perhaps for
reasons of policy may not be disclosed
But these conferences are ordinarily
limited In scope. They take up definite
problems.
Pollen Proposal Different
The conference proposed by Mr.. Pol
len was different in its intent. II was
70 take up the big unsolved problem OF
the war, how to meet the submarine
menace effectively. Since this was to
be practically conference on the con-
duct. it was proposed that the commits
sion be headed by civilian, some rep.
resentative of the civil authority OF
the country on whom responsibility for
a grave decision might rest. IL was
supposed that in this r'Hy breadth and
boldness and n non-technical point OF
view could be given to the commission
by placing this big question on the
conduct of the war before other than
purely professional eyes.
There is an extremely fraternal
spirit among naval men, and fear was
felt that purely professional exam,
nation of existing naval policies would
not be sufficiently critical. But the
main object was to get together the
hest brains in the American navy and
let them have n close look at the great
nroblcm Of sea warfare. For lack OF
proper organization we are ightlng at
long range. Spending our money, build
ing ships, but never once coming into
the right sort Of contact with the job
that is before US. This is so in the
general opinion of our navy, at any
rate. And Il cannot long remain so,
for there is n unanimous sentiment IN
this government to-day in favor or a
more vigorous prosecution of the war
on the sea.
This particular proposal of Mr.. Pol
lens probably will not now be carried
out. But something must be done to
improve our organization Tor tghtlng
;nteligently and effectively upon the
sea abroad. Az it is now, too much
depends upon Vice Admiral Sims, who
in the very nature of his duties is con-
fined within a narrow radius. Any
large question of operations he would
have to act upon of himself. Or he
would have to cable to this country for
instructions, where he would have to
be directed by men 5000 miles away
from the scene of action and INSULT
GENTLY informed upon the real prob
lem. Moreover, not enough of the
brains Of the navy are being brought
to bear directly and Immediately upon
the problems that must be solved if
this nation is to fight understandingly.
