—s Thompson Pinds Noting to Sustif y Secretary's “Temper or His Attack,” Revert M. Thompson, Prestdont of the Navy League of the United Mates, | Ree teened © Kintement to atl the Members of the ieneue in reeerd to the action of Kee Sele in directing that “in view of the Blanderour and false statement of the Mavy League refiecting upon the hon sty of the Navy edn the integrity of joore of the Mavy, for which reaponatbility is ac cepted by ite officers, notion in hereby @iven to the public that the Navy Department has directed that no off oer, agent or representative of the Navy League will be adm to any aval station, naval reservation or ship in the Navy, &c.” Col.’ Thompso: ment follows: “Certainly the Navy League has Rot made the slightest reflection upon the integrity of Secretary Daniels or ‘Upon that of any naval officer, What it did was to draw attention to the| fact that statements were being cir- oulated that the Mare Island explo- | aon was the result of a conspiracy, | and that the inquiry into this was | being blocked. We did this because When such beliefs exist, and are un- true, they should be publicly and au- thoritatively dented, and if true some one should suffer. “When the history of this terrible ‘war comes to be written, matters of much less importance than an attack by @ Cabinet oMcer upon a great | |E Patriotic society will be carefully in- | | Veatigated, and every fact explaining | such a situation will be considered “After reading the bulletin of which Secretary Daniels complained, I find absolutely nothing to justify his tem- per or his attack.” “You have in the past cordially supported the management of the | Navy League, and I believe that we | have justified your support by the work we have done. “For some time, for reasons known to himself, Seoretary Daniels has been unwilling to co-operate with the Navy League. When we offered to provide a committee and funds to look after the dependent families of the men who were enlisting in the navy he refused us the opportunity When we offered to donate $50,000,000 of insurance to the men of the navy without cost to them, he refused to permit them to accept it. | “He has now demanded my resig- nation, because he ts displeased with | | a bulletin which was tssued as a mat- | | ter of routine, without my personal knowledge, | “In the meantime there ts one thing | for us, as Joyal Navy Leaguers, to do, and that {s support the Administra tion wholeheartedly in the prosecu. ary of Navy Dan ton and tion of this w: Pledge myse) oo G.
