President Roosevelt says that Assistant Secretary of the Navy Newberry should send the plans for the North Dakota type ships to the fleet officers to consider. Roosevelt approves of Newberry’s suggestion of sending officers who have had battleship experience for temporary duty at the War College, as they can then be consulted with more easily. Roosevelt would particularly like to gain the benefit of Cameron McRae Winslow’s experience.
