Secretary Daniels Examines Pacific Coast Defense Limits
Secretary Daniels told the House Naval Affairs committee that the Pacific coast lacks adequate protection for war while the Atlantic fleet could move through the Panama Canal. He warned against extravagant airship and submarine spending, favored building own warships, and noted no first class battleships on the Pacific coast besides the Oregon. He discussed fleet deployment, submarines’ role in delaying attackers, and opposed excessive airship funding citing aircraft shortages. He also touched on secrecy in military matters and Weeks on army reserves.
