Navy Secretary Daniels Defends 1914 Personnel Policy
Secretary Daniels told a senate committee that linking his 1914 policies to world war needs was abortive. He said 1914 efforts aimed only to fill peace complements, not war-scale staffing, and praised 1915 1916 enrollment efforts as unprecedented. He noted Britain had 415 162 and the U S 620 021 officers and men by armistice and cited 100 000 as the 1916 war need. He credited Rear Admiral Victor Blue and denied McKen’s claim of personnel shortages being due to Admiral Mae’s 1915 actions.
