SIMS NOT OPPOSED
TO MERCHANT MARINE
Admiral Says Senator Glass
Misunderstood import of
London Statement.
BY Associated press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Washington, Sept. 1s.--Declaring
that Senator Glass. OF Virginia, was
mistaken I'm quoting him an saying In
conversation In London that fA~
United States ought. not to undertake
the development of a merchant marine
of its own. Rear Admiral William s.
Sims. In letter 10 the National Mer-
chant Marine Association made public
here tod v. explained that what he
did say was that with the present
restriction of our present shipping
laws 1t would be very difY,cult for our
commemorate with our needs"
The statement was in reply 10 a
letter asking IL the admiral had been
correctly quoted by the Virginia sena-
tor In a recent speech In the Senate.
In his Senate speech Senator Glass
was quoted as saying:
when l WAS abroad In 1918 Ad-
mirai Sims, much TO my amazement,
told me in London that he did not
think that the United States ought to
undertake the development Of mer-
chant marine OF it's own. He thought
that field OF activity should be left tc
Great Britain, saying that the British
were our kinsmen, bone OF our bone
and blood OF our blood, and might h
relied on TO come to our defense ir
case OF war: that they were natura
seamen, and we knew nothing about
Il. Besides. he added. II would re.
quire great subsidy to conduct 9
merchant marine, and the Americaf
people wsrc inherently opposed ts
subsidies"
In his reply to the Marine Associa.
tion Admiral Sims Wrote:
Il am not surprised that Senator
Glass was much amazed II he under
stood me to state In London that tn.
United States ought not to sndertsb'
the development of a merchant marin.
Of its own.
'Just how far this Is from what
ever have or could have thought o
the merchant marine. you may judg
from the fact tEat the navy OF tn
United States Mould be of very htti
value as a-1efense of the United State
and our possessions II II were not 10
the merchant marine.
I'm the absence OF a merchan
marine to furnish the transport 70
the immense amount of supplies tina
a feet would need. that fleet would b
restricted in its operations to a com
psrative short distance from It's near
est base.
III our feet had to be sent to max
an attack at long distance across tn
ocean, 1t would require something lilS
thirty thousapd tons Of supplies da,
including fuel and all other commodi
ties. This Is one OF the essential ele
ments that enters into the considera
ton of what we call the logistics OF
military operation, and is one of tn
subjects which receives the closes
study OF those who are charged wit
the preparation of naval plans.
AS / remember y conversatio
with Senator Glass, IL was TO the efYes
that, with the restrictions Of our pres
ent shipping laws, il would be yer
difficult for our country to. develo
