Letter from Albert L. Key to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Albert L. Key to Theodore Roosevelt

Lieutenant-Commander Key encloses a copy of the current issue of the “Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute.” Key hopes that President Roosevelt finds the time to read the articles by Commander Stanton, Lieutenant McLean, and Key. The article by Commander Rittenhouse, however, is so “purely academic” that Key does not think it has value. Key has written his article in the hopes of stirring up some interest in his plan regarding the naval committees and the public press. The weaknesses pointed out in the plan are not exaggerated, and Key believes the correction is essential if the United States is to have “an efficient fighting Navy.” He adds that he knows Roosevelt realizes this, but the inaction by Congress is discouraging.
