The Sims Daniels Controversy

Any assumption that Secretary Dan
iels was wrong in the delays that he
enforced upon Admiral Sims would be
improper, with the amount of evidence
that Is now before us. Delay may have
been made imperative by political con-
siderations. But Secretary Daniels
should not be allowed in his pleadings
to assume that he had better knowl-
edge than, Admiral Sims of what would
be the naval consequences of delay. He
should not be allowed to make good on
any such a claim, even If his judgment
on this naval question were to be sus-
tanned by naval men. For it is ques-
ton of technical naval responsibility.
to which Secretary Daniels is not held
by the nation. For the civilian secre-
tary to get kitchen cabinet advice from
some bureaucrats or personal acquaint-
ances at Washington, even though they
happened to be in the naval service, is
not good administration nor is it COM
mon sense. Advice" in the meaning
of the word to be employed here. is
always official, and should be respon-
sible, and should be given in the estab-
lished course OF official communication.
Good strategy may require that it be
given confidentially and in secret, so
as not to reach the enemy, but 1t must
be such that the public may later in
qure into its terms and consider fully
the weight and sharing of the respon-
sibility-Fresno Republican .Qnd) /.
