Roosevelt Navy Policy Critique Prompts Debate
Special Correspondent argues Roosevelt erred in praising Togo's victory to justify enlarging the navy. The piece contends efficiency behind guns matters most, notes Russia's larger fleet, and Japan's prowess, and predicts battleship emphasis will face counterarguments in Congress. It also reports on possible peace mediation limits, Decoration Day conduct, and confirms Charles J. Bonaparte to become Secretary of the Navy replacing Morton.
