TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, AmiL i, 1920 DANIELS BOUND BY DETAILS, SAYS F1SKE Secretary Unable- to Take Broad View, Is Charge. WAR PLANS ARE SCORED Admiral Tells of His Opposition to Plan for Kducation of Men and to Democratize 'Navy. WASHINGTON. March 51. The re lation of the "mental and tempera mental characteristics" of Secretary Daniels to the alleged unpreparedness of the navy for war in 1917 was dis cussed today before the senate naval ir.vesctigating committee by Rear- j Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. retired, formerly Mr. Daniels' chief adviser in the department as aide for operations. The secretary's characteristics and "previous training," Admiral Fiske said, prevented him from taking "a broad and profound view" of the navy's needs. Up to 1917, the officer declared. Mr. Daniels seemed convinced that there would never be another war. The witness described at some length his differences with the secre tary. While their personal relations had been cordial, he said, he had found he could not work with Mr. Daniels and resigned as aide for operations in 1916. Mr. Daniels. Admiral Fiske said, paid too much attention to details and did not sufficiently interest himself in broad questions of plans and poli cies. Admiral Against Education. Secretary Daniels was "deeply and sincerely" ltnerested in the welfare of the men. Admiral Fiske said, add ing that he opposed Mr. Daniels' plan for the education of enlisted men be cause he thought the system would take too much time from the military training of the crews. Naval war plans in 1910 and 1911 when he was a member of the general board did not contain 1 per cent of what they should rave embodied. Ad miral Fiske testified, and in 1914 the navy was "wholly unprepared for war." ' "The navy today could not carry out maneuvers such as the German fleet executed in 1913," he said, "prin cipally because of lack of battle cruis ers and aerial forces." Mr. Daniels, he declared, refused to approve plans for the extension of the navy's aerial forces, the obtaining of sufficient personnel and proper formulation of war plans prior to 1917. SnKestlun Are Aked. Rear-Admiral Mayo was cross-examined briefly on his direct state ment of yesterday. Chairman Hale requested him to prepare a further statement on his remarks with regard to the 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 the recent war might be avoided in the future. Naval officers felt that Mr. Daniels was carrying his efforts to "democ ratize the navy" to an extreme incon sistent with discipline. Admiral Fiske said, and they thought that undue importance was attached to the com fort of enlisted men. . I'KICTIOX IX STAl'T TOLD Officers Say Each One "Wanted to Run Whole Show at Brest.

Lieutenant Carey added that each officer seemed to want to "run the whole show to suit his own ideas.'

The Canadian national railways operated at a loss of $14,000,000 during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1919, according to the first annual budget submitted to the house of commons Tuesday by Dr. Reid, minister of rail ways. The budget shows the loss divided as follows: Canadian Northern, $6,500,000, and Inter-Colonial railway and Transcon tinental, $7,500,000. In addition there were fixed charges of $19,000,000 to be met. Out of every dollar earned by the roads. Dr. Reid said, 78 cents went in wages to the employes. Operating expenses increased from 84 to vir tually 108 millions. These advances were due largely to increases in wages under the McAdoo award, he explained. Construction during the present year, the report said, will be limited to the completion of branch lines in the west. No more wark will be done for the present on the Hudson Bay railway. An increase of 25 per cent based on last year s earnings and favored by the board of management would approximate $38,000,000, Dr. Reid stated. Any such increase for government roads also would have to be granted the Canadian Pacific, he said. He declined to decide whether a general increase should ba granted to show a surplus lor the government lines, saying he would leave the ques tion to the House and the people.
