The Naval Controversy

out Of the controversy that is shaking
~ the naval establishment. the sweeping
charges OF unprcparedncss and incompe-
tency filed by Sims. and the spirited coun-
terattack OF the secretary, but one definite
conclusion has come on which practically
all hands will agree That conclusion is
that the rear-admiral talked too much and
with poor selection of his audiences, and
that the secretary cannot win his case for
the navy by indulging in personalities AS
Tor the merits of the quarrel. nothing has
been decided; perhaps it never will be. The
Sampson-Schley argument, now entombed
III history, retains its controversial germs.
Every war has given rise to an aftermath
OF bitter personal differences. They serve
as ten-day sensations and then fade into
the past. their merits undetermined. The
Daniels-Sims verbal battle is likely to go
the way of many historic predecessors
Sims has been placed In an uncomfort-
able and unenviable position before the
world. He unquestionably talked too
loosely. and in that violated a cherished
tradition OF the American navy. Most of
his friends admit that in this, regardless Of
the truth or falsity of his assertions, he
acted unwsely. That being admitted, Sec
rotary Daniels, in firing his thunderbolt,
has the distinct advantage.
But on the merits of the issue involved.
ing the war the secretary has not all the
best of the argument. Able and experi-
eIced sea fighters who testified before the
congressional investigating committee were
open and emphatic in their support OF Sims.
giving him credit for fearlessly importing
his own reputation and position by dis
closing existing conditions as loyal duty
he owed to the American people. In that
hearing lie was perhaps as strongly sun
a ist inc cla1
after all. the controversy resolves itself
into honest differences Of opinion over the
strategy that should have been adoDted in
the struggle against Germany. Strip it OF
its personalities and its sensatonalism and
the controversy would be remembered only
around the desks of professional and anna
tour stratcgistS.
Secretary Daniels who has been as bit
;crly criticized as any other person on
gagged III the conduct of the war; has the
popular side OF the quarrel. Americans are
proud OF their navy, they glory In its
achievements, and the facts and figures set
iorth by the secretary to confound Sims
appeal TO their imagination and fire their
patriotism. And in that, the fundamental
problems of naval operations sink out OF
sight. 1t is unfortunate that the renova-
uon of hoicd linen should seem TO be n
necessary concomitant to the glorious end
ing or great war, but since it has had
to be- let it be hoped that the public has
heard the worst OF it and will soon be per-
mitted TO forget it, its one wholesome
thought being that neither Daniels, nor
Sims, nor any other American officer ever
showed any prediction for the common
enemy.
