Letter from Cameron McRae Winslow to Theodore Roosevelt
Rear Admiral Winslow has heard that Secretary of State Root will likely agree to head the commission on the reorganization of the Navy Department. Winslow sends related letters detailing how responsibility should be divided. He advocates that cost estimate reduction be handled by the Navy Department instead of the congressional committees, and elaborates on who should be responsible when preparing for war. Everyone seems to agree that Roosevelt’s policy requiring conferences to consider new battleship plans is good for the country, and that it will help get the ships with fourteen guns approved by Congress.
