POLICY Of DANIELS
Scored BY CAPTAIN
Lannlng Says Navy Department
Head Was Responsible tor
Delays During War.
CONTINUED from First Pagel


ito have been serious faults in the
administration of the Navy Depart
ment in connection with the war" he
was actuated by the hope that the
faults being made known their recur-
renee can be prevented"
tanning summed up the faults OF
the Navy Department during the war
as follows:
"First-That in the years immedl-
atelY preceding our entry into The
war. the Navy Department did not
take an attitude on legislation and
policies, that would enable the fleet
TO be made properly ready tor war
and that the fleet was not properly
ready when war was declared.
"Second-That even when war was
imminent. when il was apparent that
war could not be avoided. the de-
partment, even then. did not do those
things that ought to have been done
TO make the navy ready to carry on
the war in its full strength and along
the right lines.
"Third-That at about the time war
was declared. although a carefully
drawn up plan. outlining what direc-
ton the navy's first efforts should
take. was prepared by the orrice of
the chief of Naval Operations for the
departments approval. the plan was
not approved and as a result, at the
very time a plan was most needed.
the navy did not have any general
plan that was based on the peculiar
conditions imposed by the enemy
whose naval effort was restricted al
most entirely to the use of sub
marines.
