Secretary Daniels replied: 1'ntil I (.eeaine Secretary of the Navy all reports of the lleneral Board were regarded as confidential, and veteran members nf the Naval Affairs Commit tee told me they had never before seen one of their reports.

"This year, as usual, the annual re port was published as Appendix A, and their rejort. dated October 12. was printed as Appendix: B. 8o the October 12 report has already been priated." The report of July 30 was made in answer to an oral inquiry. The pub lisbing of the early report of the Gen eral Hoard will help Mr. Daniels with his legislative program, for Congress men will now realize how reasonable and how conservative he has been ia his recommendations.
