authorize the selling of sugar on the

stating that this factor waa at matter
among others for consideration in de
termining a, fair, margin of profit on
sugar., If the announcement of Septem

sponsibility does not rest upon the de

quoted in the press on the- 12th instant,
did not announce any new attitude, but
merely reiterated the wetl known atti
tude of the department that one cent
is a fair margin of profit to be allowed
t:- the- sugar retailers. The various
ageneiea through which the department
ia functioning in its campaign to lower
the cast of living were specifically ad
vised on this point as long ago as De

time the attitude of tho department on
thia point was well known.

as the fair margin of profit for whole

normally claimed by the trade and

has been very highly enhanced by the
present conditions, and, as a matter

during a long scries of questions from.
Chairman Halff regarding disappear
anee r 1914 from the files of the
Navy Department of a letter from Bear
Admiral Bradley risae on navai pre-
ua red ness.
Mr. Daniel told the eommlttee that
he had no objection to prolonging the
hearings by going baek-aa far as 1914,
but said he did not see bow the matters
referred to had any bearing en the
question of the naval conduct of the
war. Chairman. Hals replied that., he
waafeeMnipta ': ihoV" t hat Secretary
Daniels waa warned by hla chief tech
nical advisers that the American navy
waa not -prepared for war previous to
the entry of the United States Into
tho -war: ' " "":
Hale Waata a Letter.
V - The chairman virtually, charged Mr.
Daniels at another point with -.having
withheld, from the Senate n letter from
Bear Admiral Austin M. Knight, written
in Augustr 19H, advising" 'tho" Immediate
wtthdrawal of ' ATnericafi DattlsrtipT
from Mssissn watsse.aad the assiMiesj
tiea resulting from the world war, then
just beginning. To support his con
tention Senator Hale -Teada- Senate t
resolution asking for communications
front the navy general board regarding
war - preparations of the navy and
reply from Mr. Daniels declaring he
had no communication bearing on the
snbjU Admira4..jiight'o letter the
chairman added, was in Mr. Daniels'
jpgss'essjontjhe tjm e Jtndore vitally
ua mo sunject ot prepurcuntis.
Seeretary Daniels, in reply said be
had not considered Admiral Knight's
tajri.munW.t
m g-nttrat pvnru, jiaa Rot wuiaorm
that it related to preparation of. the
navy but rather waa an elaboration of
Bear Admiral Piske'a insistence that the
battleships in Southern waters be
brought home at onee.
Cross-exaaatnation of the navsl chief
centered largely today around the' old
eontroversy . between .Mr.. Daniels a nd
Admiral Fiske regarding reorganization
of the Navy Department and placing
responsibility and authority for the
direction of the entire navy in the
hands of a naval officer. Characteriz
ing. Admiral Fiske as a, "monumental
egotist," who ''bored me to exhaustion,"
the secretary said the officer was a
tuated. by a desire to "Prussianiie' the
1tivyr-tnatfnfaar''ffB" flnnbnnceit that
in view of the gravity of the charges
Admiral Fiske would be given an op
portunity to appear later and defend
himself. Mr. Daniels made no objection
bntaidjhe would insist, in thst event
that he too be given an opportunity to
appear when this pew phase of the in
vestigation had been developed.
Fiske Became Bore.
Beplying to tho chairman, Mr. Dan
iel aaiq ne naa never paia much at
tention to Admiral Fiske'a plan to re
organize the navy department in 1915.
"He bored me to exhaustion," de
clared .Mr. Daniels, ''He waa a monu
mental egotist. He thought the Ger
man general staff system waa the best
in the world and wrote me about one
letter a day urging me to approve its
