Fred Albert Britten is the Navy Department's best friend, the admirals' right arm. His predecessor, as chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, the late Thomas S. Butler of Pennsylvania, was a Quaker. Many a grizzled seadog suspected (wrongly) that Mr. Butler's faith tempered his ardor for a Big Navy.

Might he not, perhaps, be persuaded to enter Congress? This could easily be effected through a resignation from one friend (Senator Wagner) and an appointment from another (Governor Roosevelt).
