ABSENCE OF POLICY
 IN NAVY ATTACKED
Says Strict Neutrality" Prevented Preparation of
 Entire Navy for War
By Associated Press

Washington. March 3O.-Faulty or ganization in the navy department, and "absence of a definite foreign policy except that of strict neutrality" oper- ated to prevent preparation of the en- tire navy for the war. Rear Admiral Mayo, commander of the Atlantic fleet during the war, declared today before the Senate naval investigating com mittee The active fleet itself, how ever, was never better prepared, ne said, than when war was declared.
 Admiral Mayo, who was Rear Ad- miral Sims immediate superior, tech nically at least, during the war, took issue with some of the statements made by that officer in his indictment of the departments conduct of the war. To the charge that no adequate plan for cooperation with allied navies had been made in advance. he answered that the office of chief of operations had been created only in 1915 and was not comprehensive enuogh to secure the best possible results, but that without it conditions would have been chaotic
 The navy was well prepared for war in 1917 as were the British. French and Italian navies in 1914, Admiral Mayo asserted. adding that it would have been better prepared had the opera tions bureau been created sooner.
 Admiral Mayo did not agree with Ad- miral Sims contention that every avail able destroyer and anti-submarina craft should have been sent abroad when war was declared. He said it was imperative that some destroyers be kept with the Atlantic fleet.
 Pointing out the necessity for a sharply defined foreign policy, Admiral Mayo said that the armed forces of d nation were merely the instruments to support national policies
