the benefit OF the argument that she is
unwilling To make a radical departure
from her former policy without due con

The letter is viewed as a powerful

NEW YORK. Feb. The past year
for the United States has been one ''"f
fiddllnG and delay" and was charactar-
,zed as The tragedy of tragedies" by
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels who ad.
dressed the opening meeting here today
Of the campaign for tho Near EaSr Re
lief fund. Although America had NOT
kept faith with the allies, he sad. hr
had confidence that the American p"o-
plo would do their duty.
"One Of the beliefs that carried us
into the war" added Secretary Dan,cls
was that small peoples have the right
to liberty and to control their own .cS-
tinicS. Shall America alone fail now IN
sustaining that principle: l do not he,
licve il. am confident that the Ancri-
can people Will respond To this Call
Give to Armenia. present relief from
the pcrtis Of starvation. and then pro-
vide for the freedom Of the country
from the rule Of the Turk. They will
respond TO This call as they have re-
sponded TO every call made upon them
since April s. 1917"
Secretary Daniels in speaking Of the
navy said that the popular idea of the
navy was that II only exists As n fight
ing machine. This. ne added. is its
chief mission. but II II had not proved
a powerful agency in protecting the peo'
pie and upholdins the dignity Of the flag
at all times 1t had failed of Its mis-
sion. In tho war he declared II had
proved its worth and had done it full
share in bringing about peace.
There was nothing the matter with
tho American navy during the war.
