ADM. SIMS RIGHT,
 DANIELS WRONG
Long Prcoe of Row Over America's Course On the Seas in the War Rads in Cemdennation a
 Rx-Secretary.

washingto~, July 18.-Admtral Sims is not only vindicated but com- mended for ais letter to Josephus Daniels, then secretary of the navy, in January, 1920, on the naval lessons of tho war his course approved thru out. and the tardiness of the adminis- tration in carrying out his recommen- dations roundly condemned In the ma jority report made public of the Sem ate naval affairs subcommittee which investigated the Sims-Daniels contro- versy last year.
 Impressed with the high importance of the great volume of expert testi- mony, the report, signed by the three Republican members of the subcom- mittee, Senators Hale of Maine, chair man; Ball of Delaware and Reyes of New Hampshire, recommends the ap- pointment of two commissions.
 One should be professional com mission to be appointed by the sec retary of the navy to study all the matter brought out before the com mittee and in the possession of the department and other sources bear- ing on the naval lessons of the war and make confidential report thereon for the use of the navy department.
 Another, a commission, including civilians as we'll as naval officers to be appointed by the president, to con- slider the reorganization of the navy department and recommend to Con gress such changes as it may deem advisable.
 The minority report signed by the two Democratic members of the sub- committee, Senators Pittman of Me- vada and Trammell of Florida, finds all the major charges made by Ad- miral Sims of delays on the part of the department resulting in prolonga- tion of the war, and loss of lives, of shipping and of money, wholly dis proved,' his other charges "trivap and points to the splendid record made by the United States naval forces as demonstration of the wis., dom of the policies and plans of the navy department.
