Secretary of the Navy Metcalf does not endorse Senator Lodge’s recent statements regarding Democrat William Jennings Bryan’s platform on the navy. The article states that in particular, Metcalf took issue with Lodge’s declaration that were it not for the navy, Japan “would insult” the United States. A handwritten note in the margins from Lodge states that, “I did not say that or anything resembling it.”
