DANIELS ENDS
Sims EVIDENCE
Says He Would Not Have
Urged Promotion Had
He Foreseen Dispute.

Attacking Rear Admiral Sims as a
man who could not be given a post of
trust. Secretary Daniels yesterday
completed his defense in the naval
awards controversy.
Daniels told the Senate sub-com-
mittee that he never would have rec
commended Sims for promotion to the
permanent rank of admiral had he
foreseen the developments in the
awards dispute.
He made the following complaints
against Sims.
1. That Sims, according TO Repre-
sentative Byrnes. of South Carolina,
declared the armistice had to be
signed because Gen. Pershing's sup
ply system had broken down.
2. That Sims, according to Byrnes.
said the United States should ''leave
the sea to Great Britain" refraining
from seeking commercial supremacy
thereon, and concentrate on develop
ing the western hemisphere.
3. That in recently published arti-
cles Sims cast a "gratituous refiec'
ton" on the Irish people.
! 4. That Sims disclosed his own YER
sion of confidential Instructions given
him as he was about to sail for Lon
don.
The controversy between Am
bassador Willard and Admiral
Decker at Madrid. which resulted
/ in Decker's recall from the post OF
naval attache there. together with
his assistant. Commander Carlos "
Cusachs, was brought into the
hearing by Chairman Hale.
Dnriels declared both Decker and
Cusachs were recalled because they
could not get along with willard
and would not agree with him as
! to policy. Decker refused a navy
cross. Daniels said. and claimed he
deserved a higher honor because he
prevented Spain from entering the
war on the side of Germany.
{ IF he had been able to control
the government of Spain 1t didn't
become him to say So" Daniels
continued. His business was to dc
what the ambassador told him"
Reverting to Admiral Sims dis
closure of confidential instructions
Daniels said:
Il raise no question as to his ac-
curate memory but no Secretary of
the Navy could recommend for any
honor or place of trust. one who
receiving confidential instructions
on going to neutral country. then
discloses them"
/ Much confusion arose over de-
( sire Of the allied countries to con-
fer decorations on American officers,
, the testimony disclosed. Sims, act
ing under misinformation. accepted
a British decoration and authorized
several subordinate officers to do
! likewise.
Il consider the practice contrary
. to American ideals, traditions and
law Daniels said. ''Officers would
be solicitous of securing foreign ap-
proval or favor"
