Daniels and Paymaster General Mc
Gowon of the navy were the first wit
nesses before the house naval subcom
mittee, delegated to begin an laves
tlgatlon Into the navy's war acUvitles.
Secretary Daniels gave u general
review of what the navy has been do

ing uny facts thut would be of value
to the enemy. He told how the navy
Is now building 421 capital aud other
Important ships.
Discussing the uso of submarine
chasers, ho said they were regarded as
a necessity ned there was "no great
enthusiasm" ubout thein as a wcapou
for pennnncnt effectiveness.
Naval aviation, ho said, has made
gratifying strides, but haa been hnm
pored by lack of manufacturing fnclll
Ues. One of the great problems, he said,
was to furnish gun crews to merchant
ships.
"We made Uiese reserve ships," said
Mr. Daniels, "a school for gunners, nnd
tho efficiency with which these officers
hnve taken hold of the young men and
made tho young men efficient is really
one of the big tl.Ings of the navy in
this war.
"When you come to write the story
of the wnr," said he, "one of the most
thrilling chapters will be regarding
these young men, who went on the
merchant ships and risked their lives.
We have put guns on every ship going
into the submarine war zone thut re
quested It."
"We are rather proud," the secretary
said, "of the way the navy lias met the
actual test of war. I am glad for con
gress nnd the public to know some
what of our activities. A taking of
stock, so to speak, connot fnll to bring
ways for still further Improvement
nnd for still more efficient work in the
future.
"Wo feel we hnvo done well, but we
still hnve problems, some of them very
difficult, which we hnve been trying
to solve In the best way possible In the
very brief time ullotted to solve them.
To the best solution of these problems
we hope to have suggestions and help
from this committee and from con
gress. '
Ve do not claim that we hnve'done
everything In the best possible way or
thnt wo have mado no mistakes. I
believe, however, when you know all
we have attempted we will receive
your confirming Judgment that wo
have done ns well us possible under all
circumstances.
"In some things creditable speed hns
been achieved ; In all things there lias
been team work In the departments
and In the entire service to have things
well done and thoroughly done."
