The mistakes cited in Senator Chamberlain's speech, • Secretary Baker declared, gave a dispropor tionate aspect. JVithdut intent, he said, the effeeft of the Senator’s speech was to give the country the impression that the deficiencies “were characteristic rather than oc casional.” He said lie was not there to defend individuals or deny de lays. and false starts. “But Kthink ,I can say in confid ence that in them we have sought the Temedy.” , ? “For one reason or another the impression has gone out into the country to , some extent, that tjie War Department has fallen down in the conduct of the w’ar,” said the Secretary. “I want to address my self to that question. “There are several reasons why I should ask the committee to hear me. .First, the country is entitled to know’ if that is a fact. • The country is entitled to know tfhat this war is and wvhat the problems are and how’ w;e are to meet them.
