.THE REAL ISSUE IN THE SHENANDOAH INQUIRY
Mrs. Margaret Ross Landsdowne, the widow of Zach
ary Landsdowne, commander of the ill-fated . :Shenan
doah, was a witness yesterday before the naval commit
tee investigating the disaster.
Therein she repeated her charge that the commander
had opposed the ship's last trip ; that he was afraid that
trouble would come; and that he believed, as a matter
of general policy, that the activities of the dirigible
should be confined to tests that would have some con
nection with national defense, and not sent off on ali
soils of wild goose chases, the primary purpose of which
was propaganda for the navy department.
But his protest was in vain; the journey was under
taken; and as a result the lives of fourteen of the na
tion's uniformed men were secrificed.
One of the most tragic incidents of the inquiry has
been the persistent effort to shift the blame for the
disaster to Commander Landsdowne himself.
But there is something ghoulish in the attempts of
some of the higher officers of the department to be
little a man, who gave his life in the line of duty, in
order that public attention may be deflected from their
own shortcomings.
But the record is too plain.
Not only is there the impressive testimony of the
widow of the commander herself, but the correspondence
shows that the whole venture was conceived and put into
action for political purposes only.
This fair must be recahed on a certain date; that ex
hibition must be visited on another day.
The populace must be impressed.
The taxpayers must be bamboozled.
The citizenry must be made to throw their hats in the
an and hurrah for the navy department.
To that safety was sacrificed, warnings disregarded,
the real good of the navy made of secondary considera
tion, for what business had a navy dirigible flying over
the Middle West, anyhow?
Is our navy a lan dor water force? -
Mistakes may have been made in handling the ship.
But that does not detract from the fact that had the
advice of a skilled flyer been taken, and not the orders
of swivel-chair officers in Washington been followed,
the Shenandoah would hot have been lost and those
fourteen brave, men would not to-day be mouldering in
the ground.
The investigating committee will make a shameful
mistake if, in its findings, it glosses over or seeks to
shift to dead men a responsibility that lies on the should
ers of those still living and still having authority to make
just as foolish and fatal mistakes Sacramento Bee.
