SIMS CASE ST|RS
GOSSIP IN CAPITAL
"Punishment" Complicated
by Col. Haryey's Recent
"save Our Skins" Speech.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Everybody in the National Capital
is wondering today what form OF
punishment, if any, will be meted out
to Admiral Sims for his speech in
London declaring that resolutions Of
Congress on the Irish question should
be ignored because they are infiu-
enced by "jackass votes" in the
American electorate.
Admiral Sims has been rebuked
before by republican and democratic
administrations for his indiscreet
speeches. but the reprimands didn't
take" The Harding administration
is being besieged with indignant
petitions asking that the admiral be
punished for his utterance. Presi-
dent Harding has taken notice of the
come of the cabled request from
Secretary DENLY of the Navy Depart
ment to Admiral Sims asking for a
statement as to whether he was cor
rectly quoted and an explanation Of
the speech. The inquiry is in itself
an implication of disapproval.
Harvey's Speech ConplieatinE.
has been made doubly difficult for the
Harding administration. because it
lately saw At to ignore another indis-
cretion in the speech Of another
American official abroad-Ambassadof
George Harvey. The latter told the
Americans didn't enter the war for
humanitarian or unselfsh purposes,
but "to save our own skins. and, IN
directly, he criticised the United
States for not entering the war soon
er than it did. This speech offended
a great body of American citizens and
particularly many members of the
American Legion, some of whom
adopted resolutions asking President
Harding to recall the ambassador.
fronted with the problem of n1uzzffng its
officiaIs abroad or at least quieting their
oratorical impulses. II Sims is rebuked.
the movement to have Harvey repri
manded will also be renewed. UnQnes-
.tionafly the Sims speech has stirred up
more Of hornets nest, and is regarded
here as a much greater indiscretion
fthan that Of Harvey, but the true incli-
nation of folks here is to tell not only
Earyey and Sims. but all American
oeSciaIs abroad to refrain hereafter
from commenting on things that are
likely to rekindle the fires Of paruzan-
ship and controversy at nome.
Ouiet Until Sims Spoke.
Everything was going along nicely
here with respect to the Irish ques-
ton when Admiral Sims speech came
along The administration was free
from picketing. The Irish had not
tormented the occupant of the White
House with pleas to recognize the in
dependence Of Ireland. as was the
cs se under the Wilson administration.
No resolutions. had been forced to the
front of the calendar in the Senate
disapproving the atrocities" in Ire
land. In short. everything was peace
fuI and the Harding administration
was hoping things would continue
that way, when Of q sudden Admiral
sims revives tre entire controversy
and brings the Irish question to the
doors Of the White House again.
