fflMIIL DECLARES
Mental and Temperamental
Characteristics Blamed for
Unpreparedness
WASHINGTON, March 31. The
navy was unprepared for war In' .1037
because of the "'mental and tempera
mental characteristics of the man-at
Its head and of the policy he pursued
as the result of those characteristics,"
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, re
tired, declared today boforo the senate
committee investigating the navy's
conduct of the war..
"To prevent unpreparedness in tho
future." Admiral Fiske said, "the most
Important stop is for the public to In
sist that, the man at the head of the
pavy .shall be imbued with the spirit
of the navy, highly educated, open
minded and acquainted with the prin
ciples on which naval preparedness is
based and by following which pro
paredness can be secured." !
Admiral Fiske was aido for opera
tions and. senior adviser to the secie-tai-y
of the navy for several years be
fore the United States entered tho
war, but rosigncd as aide afttfr djffcr
oncos with tho secretary regarding the
abolition of wine on warships and ovor
preparedness. .,
Tho admiral told the committee the
navy was not only unprepared for
war from 1910 to 1917 from a stand
point of material and personnel, but
the navy department established an
organization for the exclusive duty of
making plans for war," lie said, al
though he and other officers had un;
ed such .an organization for several
years.
Much of Admiral Fiske's statement
Avas devoted- to a review of his dif-j:
ferences with Secretary Daniels. "Men
tal 'characteristics and previous train
ing" of Mr. Daniels were such as to
prevent "a broad and profound, view" j
of tho needs of the navy aft a whole,:
ho said.
Rear Admiral Mayo was cross-examined,
briefly on his direct statement of
ypsterday. Chairman Halo requested
him to prepare a further statoment on
his remarks with regard to tho need
of a well;defined foreign policy for
proper preparedness of the navy for
war. He. was also , asked to prepare
suggestions whereby mistakes of tho
recent war might be avoided inithc iu-ture.
