Palmer plan today to submit a report

own construction of his official duty."
Tho legalistic method adopted by the
attorney general, the report adds, was
ineffective as a means of price control
and Jt gave apparent government sanc

Mr. Palmer, when he appeared before

By the. Associated Press
Annapolis, Md June 3. Upon the
spirit and will of Its officers to cast off
"slavery to tradition" nnd venture-into
the realm of things new and untried
depends the future strength nnd effi
ciency of tho American navy, Secretary
Daniels told the graduating class at tbc
Naval Academy here today In presenting
diplomas to its 280 members.
Citing as an object lesson tho navy's
record of resourcefulness in the world
war, as best exemplified in the North
sea barrage, tho secretary delivered an
earnest appeal to the young officers not
to let the weight pf accented thcorioi
restrain their efforts to keep American
sea power nt the forefront in strategy
and invention.
"To some men tradition is a task.
master, a hard rule, a beaten path,"'
the secretary declared. "To others it is
a star in the firmament, n light to the
pathway; wings on which to mount
for clearer vision and wiser action, to
win the goal, not by precedent or rule, '
but by on illumination that is spirit and
not deed.
"No two wars wero ever won by
the same tactics and a few by the same
weapons. The military leader of the
future may navigate his ships by radio
and the day may even come when all
his fighting may be aerial navies bat-,
tling In the blue sky.
"The American traditions ot bold- '
ness nnd audacity," the speaker con
tinued, "enforced by world war
achievement, will save you irora toe
danger of n slavish adherence to tra- '
dltiou or precedent In method, while
heartening you with tho girding rcalin
tion that the tradition of daring and
audacity is bounded by no limits or pos
sibilities or miracles."
The secretary told the young officersi
they were to be congratulated upon;'
coming into the navy in a day when lt,
holds and holds deservedly higher
place in the confidence of the American
people than in any period of its history,
