WASHlNG1O 1ON, FeD. Z0.-HaVlnS received a telegram of confidence signed by 225 residents of Michigan, Secretary of the Navy Denby has re piled, asserting that his part in the leasing of the oil reserves was legal, that it was within the policy adopted by Congress, and that it was for the best interests of the United States. His reply was as follows:
 T have already acknowledged and expressed my gratitude for the tele- gram signed by you and 225 citizens of Michigan I have also received hundreds of other letters and tele- grams from Michigan and all parts of the Union. Such a demonstration of faith requires that I shall give you the reasons why that faith is not mis placed.
 "When I came into office I was shortly convinced that the oil reserve lands which had been set aside by Congress for the benefit of the Unit ed States Navy were being drained by private-owned wells adjoining those reserves. My conviction that these oil wells were being drained was based uvon a number of reports and statements of those who knew, governmental and other experts. That they were being drained is undisput- ed
 "Congress, under date of June 4, 1920 gave the following powers to the Secretary of the Navy
 "'That the Secretary of the Navy is directed to take possession of all properties within the naval petroleum reserves as are or may become sub feet to the control and use by the United States for naval purposes, to conserve, develop, use and operate the same in his discretion, directly or by contract, lease, or otherwise, and to use, store, exchange Or sell the oil lands in the naval reserves, for the benefit of the United States
 Under these powers the Secretary of the Navy was charged with the duty of protecting the oil thus con- f1ted to his care. In carrying out the will of Congress I had three courses oven to me. CD To do nothing and guard what would have been ultimate ly an empty shell because most of the oil would have been drained away from it; CD To endeavor to create the machinery for handling the situation under the Navy department by gov ernmental drilling, etc.; or, (3) To lease the right to drill under proper conditions to private enterprise.
 Tn the execution of this last course I had two alternatives ,one to lease the drilling privilege and have paid into the Treasury the value of the royalty oil belonging to the Navy un- der such leasing contract or to retain and preserve below for the use and benefit of the United States.
 "The Interior department has under it's jurisdiction 17,622,5OO acres of public oil lands already leased to prl. vate enterprise. The total naval oil reserve lands now under discussion amount to 51,623 acres. The policy of the Administration was co-Qrdina- tion of governmental activities and not duplication. Therefore, I took up with the Secretary of the Interior and the President the question of trans ferring the administration and custo- dy of these naval petroleum reserves to the Department of the Interior, re- serving to the Navy department the

general policy as to drilling on such lands.
 By executive order, dated May 31, 1921, the President made these rec concentrations effective. The Inte- rior and Navy departments thereafter entered into agreements with the Mammoth Oil company and the Pan American Petroleum and Transport company to drill when necessary and to conserve for the use of the Navy the petroleum products under terms and conditions favorable and benef- cial to the Government of the United States. They provided for great stor- age tanks filled with oil at points where naval experts thought they should best be located These tanks were to be paid for out of naval re- serve oil. Not dollar in money came from the Treasury.
 ''The contractors built tankage and other works by direction of the Navy and on the Navy specifications and Navy control as to expenditures. No profit, but only bare costs was al lowed in the construction of these tanks.
 "The royalties and other considera-
  tions are believed to be the best the Government could possibly get Un- der these leases the Navy will be pro- vided with fuel oil to be used in an emergency which means war, in a quantity readily accessible, which will probably last the fleet one year. Oil does not deteriorate to an appre- ciable extent in storage. The defens- es of the United States were made greatly more secure by this action.
 "These facts have been well known to the public ever since the transfer to the Interior department was mad and the leases were executed.
 Basic Questions Asked
 ''The basic questions are:
 "Ffrst-Did the Secretary of the Navy act within the law when he asked for the transfer of the admin istration of the oil lands to the De- partment of the Interior, which had i control of all the other oil lands of the public domain? As to this ques- tion I emphatically assert that the transfer was legal.
 "Secord-Was the execution of the agreements with the Mammoth Oil company and the Pan-American Pc i troleum and Transport commpany 1e- gal and done with due authority? affirm that the leases were legal and did carry out the expressed will of congress.
 "Third-Were these leases benef- cial to the United States? I must an swer they were beneficial. They pre- vented te further loss of millions of dollars worth of oil. They placed oil on the coast and in the Hawaiian isl ands where it could be reached quick ly in case of emergency. They great ly increased the power of the Navy to defend the United States, which in it's tessence is it's principal duty,
 "The leases can not be held illegal until court of competent jurisdiction has so declared. They can not be held not to have been made in ac- cordance with sound policy because the policy was sound and obedient to the expressed will of Congress. They will be shown to, have been for the benefit of the United States. " My connection with the transac- tions from beginning to end was dic- tated by a profound belief that they
