President Roosevelt returns two reports to Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry and approves of Newberry’s actions in the improvement of training future officers in the military and naval academies. In a postscript, Roosevelt notes that Maine Senator Eugene Hale is adding to the tensions between the United States and Japan by his actions, and asks Newberry for his alternate plans for the fleet as soon as possible.
