curing adoption OF his recommend
tons by the Navy Department.
Sims said he first urged the convoy
system on May 4. 1917, but received mo
communication whatsoever from the
Navy Department with regard to the
proposal until June 20, nearly two
months later" until Secretary Daniels
cabled that ne considered American
vessels having armed guards are safer
when sailing Independently"
Finally accepting the convoy prin-
ciple. the Navy Department then found
Itself in conflict with London and Sims
over details in carrying IL out, testi-
money showed.
Admiral Jellico, then first sea lord Of
the British Admiralty informed Sims on
June ii that he was very much dis
iurbedn about the convoy question and
could not go ahead with plans until the
United states decided TO cooperate
fully.
The Navy Department then raised
the objections that It had no control
over merchant ships other than those
operated by government agencies and
could not compel them to sail IN con-
vOy. The department cabled Sims to
this effect, but said Il was making IAN
effort 70 induce private ship owners
10 sail their vessels under navsl con
voy. provoking Sims 70 "eXasperation.' -
1t is very difflcult for me 10 con
vey 10 you an idea Of the real state OF
desperation in which ] found myself
almost daily during those early months
OF the war" Sims said
Sims also charged that the Navy De-
partment was victim Of German
propaganda. This propaganda misled
the department into a miscOnceptiOn OF
the problem Of defending the American
coast during the war and prevented
full cooperation with the Allies, Sims
told the committee
Although ne repeatedly assured the
department that il would be informed
in advance OF enemy submarine activ-
ity against the American coast, naval
authorities at Washington, Influenced
by a subtle campaign OF propaganda
refused 10 heed the advise and kept
the bulk Of thier forces at home, Sims
said
He said he repeatedly informed thei
department that no submarine actlvi-l
ties could be expected on the American
coast other than a few sporadic ef-
forts aimed at keeping the American
public excited and blufllng the navy
into sticking in American waters rath-
er than crossing into the critical Euro
pean zone where the real submarine
was being wagcd.
Citing his official cables Sims a.
serted that Of The four German subma-
rines which did actually reach tbs
American side. he advised the Navy
Department three or four weeks in adj
