SIMS PUNISHED BY
PUBLIC REPRIMAND
After Hearing Discipline, Admits
"He Spilled Beans" but Didn't
Mean to EmbarrasS u. S.

Neutrality-suspicious. remarks on the
occasion now under discussion, there
fore, constitute fragrant and deliber-
ate disregard of instructions.
"The department expresses its
strong and unqualified disapproval Of
your conduct in having delivered
highly improper speech in a foreign
country and you are hereby publicly
reprimanded.'
These statements are contained In
public reprimand of Rear Admiral
William S. Sims, made public by Ed
win DENLY, secretary of the Navy.
The reprimand will be read to the
crews OF all naval vessels and sta
tiOnS.
Admiral Sims had been forced back
under orders from England, where lie
had delivered his famous speech in
which he characterized many Ameri
can voters as "Jackasses."
While Secretary DENLY was making
public the reprimand, Sims was calling
at the White House. He stayed only
five minutes and said later he. only
made courtesy CALI on President
Harding.
After leaving the White House Adj
miral Sims spoke of his reprimand,
which will become historical in the
American navy. He said:
Having spilled the beans 1 got
what was coming to me. 1 think the
Incident. is now closed T am very
sorry to have caused the administra-
tion any inconvenience. 1 didn't
know it was loaded as much as it
was"

become part of Admiral Sims's rec
ord, Secretary DENLY made 1t plain
that Sips's offense was all the more
grievous because he once before has
been publicly repriranded for a

Washington.-Broa authority for
the Treasury Department is "essen-
tial' to the administrations plans for
refunding foreign loans, Secretary
Mellon declared in letter to Presi-
dent Harding, transmitting draft bill
granting the desired powers.
The. bill was forwarded to Chair
man Penrose of the Senate Finance
Committee and Chairman Fordney of
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee by President Harding and imme-
diately introduced in the senate by
Senator PoindeXter. 1t would confer
blanket authority on the treasury
with approval Of the President, to
reconvert or extend loans and inter-
est payments, to accept foreign securi-
ties and to settle claims not now Sc
cured.
Mr.. Harding wrote the two chair
men that "aII the circumstances sug-
gest the grant of broad powers to
the secretary of the treasury to ham
die the problem in such a manner as
best to protect the interests of our
government"
II hope your committee and Con-
gress," the Presidents letter con-
tinued, twill find it consistent prompt
ly to sanction such an act AS that
which is suggested in the enclosed
draft. If the Congress will promptly
sanction such grant of authority the
secretary of the treasury may proceed
tG the prompt exercise of the powers
granted to him and reasonably may
expect a satisfactory handling of the
obligations due and the claims of our
government which are awaiting set
tlement."
Senator Penrose announced that the
Senate Finance Committee would be-
gin hearings on the bill with Secre-
tary Mellon and his staff as wit
neSSeS.
Secretary Mellon prefaced his let
ter to the President with table sum-
nIarizing the war debt Of foreign gov
ernments to the United States as fol-
lows:
Obligations for advances made un-
der the various Liberty loan acts,
Sc, 49,, ,225 1924; obligations received
from the American relief adlninistra-
ton, $S4,093, ,9G3.55; obligations re-
ceived from the secretary Of war and
from the secretary of navy on account
of the sale of surplus war Materials
S565,04S, ALB; obligations held by
the United States Grain Corporation,
$56 S99, $1,000; total, S1O,141 .267, ,5S5.GS.
From this statement, said Secretary
Melons letter, it will be. seen that
the obligations in respect to loans
from the proceeds Of Liberty bonds
are all demand or overdue obligations.
