Washington Sept. 10 9-Declaring
that Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia,
was mistaken in quoting him as say
ing in Il cOnversatin in London. that
the United States ought not to un-
dertake a development OF Il merchant
marine of its own. Rear Admiral VIM.
S Sims, in a letter to the National
Merchant Marine Association. made
public here today. explained that what
he did say was that with the pres
ent restriction of our present ship
ping laws. it would be very difficult
for our country to develop a merchant
marine commensurate with our
needs.
The statement was in reply to a
letter asking if the Admiral had been
correctly quoted by the Virginia SEN
ator in recent speech in the senate.
In the senate speech Senator Glass
was quoted as saying:
when | was abroad in 1918. Adj
miral Sims, much to my amazement,
told me in London. that he did not
think the United States ought to un-
dertake the development of mer-
chant marine of its own He thought
that field of activity ought to be left
to Great Britain, saying that the Brit
iSh were our kinSmen; bone of our
bone, and blood of our blood. and
might be relied on to come to our
defense in case of war; that they
were natural Seamen and we knew
nothing about it. Besides. he added.
it would require great subsidy to
conduct a merchant marine and the
American people were inherently op-
posed to subsidies"
In his reply to the marine associa-
ton Admiral Sims wrote
Il am not surprised that Senator
Glass was much amazed if he under
stood me to state in London that the
United States ought not to undertake
the development OF Il merchant ma
rine of its own
Just how far this was from what |
ever have or could have thought of
the merchant marine, you may Judge
from the fact that the navy of the
United States would be of very little
value as a defense of the United
States and our possessions if it were
not for the merchant marine.
In the absence of merchant
marine To furnish the TRANSPORT for
the immense amount Of supplies that
a fleet would need, that fleet would
be restricted in its operations to a
comparatively short distance from its
nearest base.
''lf our fleet had to be sent 10 make
an attack at long distance across
the ocean. it would require something
like 10000 tons of supplies a day.

Dublin, Ireland Sept. 19.-Eamon
de Valera may call the Dail Eiraann
into session to deliberate upon the
situation brought about by the last
note sent 10 Ireland by Premier Lloyd
George. The communication was re-
ceived yesterday at an hour that pre-
vented the Irish republican cabinet
from considering il before today.
Readiness TO meet Mr.. de Valera
or any other delegates from the Slim
Fein in the capacity of the chosen
spokesmen for southern Ireland" was
expressed by the British prime min
lister, but he refused to confer with
them las representatives Of Il SOY.
ereign and independent state
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that the
section of the Sim Fein note dis
patched on September II, which was
construed as placing the Irish dele
gates on par with envoys from u
separate power, must be withdrawn
before a conference was possible. He
pointed out that when Mr.. de Valera
went to London to begin CONVERSE
tion as a basis for settlement of the
Irish problem, he was received as the
chosen leader of the great majority
in southern Ireland and that Mr.. de.
Valera accepted this designation.
After Mr. de Valera. on Saturday.
dispatched a note to Premier I.loyd
George, declaring the Sim Fein had
accepted the prime minister's invi
tation to the Inverness conference. but
had merely detailed the position he
and his colleagues were maintaining
it was believed the way had been pre-
pared for "a continuation of the ne,
gotiations with the British govern
ment. Yesterdays note from the
prime minister however. made it eyi
dent that Mr.. Lloyd George was in
sistent in demanding a clear declara-
tion that Ireland had not renounred
her allegiance to the British crown.
The note of September 22. to a sec
tion of which the prime minister TOOK
exception, was approved by unani
nous vote taken by the Dali Eireann
1t would appear therefore. that an
other session of that bCdy would b.
called for the purpose OF maintaininp
the position assumed by that note o.
drafting a new communication whicl
would, in some way. meet the view,
of the prime minister.
The only cabinet member at the
Mansion House during the forenoon
was Arthur Griffith. foreign minister
who later was joined by George Ga
vim Duffy Mr.. de Valera telephoneu
that he would not reach the Mansion
House until three o'clock this after
noon.
Desmond Fitzgerald, minister o;
propaganda. when asked today as tr
when reply probably would be sen
to Mr.. Lloyd George. said he could
give no information on that point
1t is suggested in some quarter
that Mr.. de Valera may be conten
to leave the situation as il stand,
and discontinue the correspondence
There seems to be a general agree
ment that the paragraph in the Sep.
tember 18th note to which Mr.. Lloyd
George objects, could not be with
drawn without the consent of the Dali
Eireann which approved it.
