Mr.. stokes would not say at this

POST MORTEMS

A Senate committee has been hold
ing a post mortem in the war policies
and activities of the navy. The con
troversy between former Secretary
of the Navy Daniels and Admira
Sims caused it.
After months of investigation, ex
animation of witnesses and all thai
sort of thing, the committee has
made two reports. The three Republi
cans hold Sims charges against Dan
iels proven; in short, the navy was
a total lass during the war.
The two Democrats hold Sins
charges unproven and say that the
navy's record in the war was the
,anost glorious page in American his
ytory.
There have been dozens of sucI
post mortems since the war. They
have cost the country a lot oil
money and have created many
points of irration that have adj.
versely affected reconstruction NOR
ale.
None of them has accomplished
the least bit of good because they
have all been partisan, as they were
bound to be.
