Recognizing the Cooperative relationships which exist between the Department Of State and the Departments of War and of the [2] Navy, especially in times of danger to this country, I had during the year many conferences with the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy and at intervals conferences with the Chief of Staff and the Chief of Naval Operations and officers of their staffs.
