For it is obvious that a public inquiry into the state of the Navy such as you desire to form would indicate a want of confidence in the present Board of Admiralty, which might make the retention of office by the Board impossible from the day such an inquiry was granted by the Government. When I look at the list of names of those who have joined the council or committee, I confess to haring beon struck by the absence from it of any great naval authority whatever upon questions of naval or Imperial defetice.
