A Wise and Sensible Course.


The course OF wisdom has been fol
lowed in the case of Admiral Magru
der, who recently published an article
critical of the naval administration
without first submitting it to the de-
partment. He has been directed to
submit promptly full and detailed
plan for the reorganization Of the
Navy and the Navy Department.
There is no suggestion of other pro-
ceedings. Indeed, there is no ground
for disciplinary action inasmuch as
the regulations merely require the
filing of all articles written by naval
officers, and this has been done in
strict accordance with the rules.
BY virtue of this command the Sec
retary of the Navy puts it up to Ad-
miral Magruder TO present his case in
detail in such a manner that the de-
partment can take cognizance of 1t
for consideration. 1t cannot conceiv-
ably accept the printed text of a pub
lication, by whomever it may be sign
I'd, as the basis of a program of re-
form. If, however a member of the
organization of whatever rank, either
before or after publication in period
icals, gives expression to suggestions
for corrections or changes in methods
and policies 1t is incumbent upon the
administration to take them under
consideration.
Admiral Magruder has committed
no technical offense against discipline,
though his manner of expressing his
criticisms may have caused some won
derment. It is possible that he has
performE1 a very valuable public
service. If, as he asserts, the naval
administration is extravagant with
out results, if wrong policies are being
pursued, If the Navy Is in course of
llisintegration through erroneous pro-
cedure, 1t IS certainly desirable that
the whole question be examined i'm
partially by the department itself
and by Congress.
It is probable that Congress will
take cognizance Of the Magruder criti.
cisms. Indeed, the Secretary OF the
Navy may, in his annual report, bring
them directly to the attention OF Con-
gress. There is no evidence at present
of a disposition on the part Of the
Secretary to sidestep the question or
to pigeonhole the criticisms through
the medium Of disciplinary procedure.
In fact, his instruction to Admiral
Magruder to file promptly and fully
his views regarding naval reforma.
ton is to be accepted as an invitation
for the good Of the service for full.
frank and explicit statement.
There will be doubtless some diff
Ference between the published articles
and Admiral Magruder's formal report
or statement to the Navy Department.
For an officer of the Navy in writing
for publication may use language
that is not exactly suited to the text
OF an official brief. 1t will be inter.
esting to compare the two. But what.
ever departures there may be, 1t is
now assured that there will be no
sensation, for the present course is
constructive rather than punitive.
