this transfer against the protests
of Rear Admiral Griffin. who was
in charge of the oil reserves, and
against the protests of other naval
officers. Admiral Griffin was then
retired in advance of his time, and
other protesting naval officers
were transferred to positions
where they could no longer inter-
fere in the matter.
Secretary FAN then wrote TO
Mr.. Dohney. the oil man, that he
could deal directly with Mr.. DOH
ney's representatives "since l have
got that navy crowd off my back"
Yet what makes it look worse for
Secretary DENLY than a mere dodg-
ing of responsibilities that were
placed upon him, is that Mr.. DOH
ney. in his testimony, stated that
Secretary DENLY suggested the
terms Of the lease and he certain
ly signed the terms Of the lease for
him. Yet he could not, when
pressed. by the committee for his
reasons for doing this, that he said
he did not fully understand the
terms because they were too
technical" for him. Yet he could
not. when pressed. name one naval
officer who approved the transfer!
Dodging responsibility in Il case
like this, if that was all it was
must he considered almost as bad
as a crime. -Minneapolis Journal

DODGING A RESPONSIBILITY

1t is difficult to think, OF Secre-
tsry DENLY as dishonest, or as a
CRATER" but he did avoid re-
sponsibility which was laid upon
him by his office, and he avoided
it in a way that makes the. situa-
ton almost as serious for him as
it ia for Mr. Fall. 49,:
Secretary Denby's defense before
the Investigating committee Of the
Senate was that the leases that de-
veloped the oil scandal were too
technical for him. So he lodged
the responsibility by conoprring in
the trahsfer OF the oil reserves to
the Interior Department. and this,
in despite of the fact that congress,
by a special act, had confirmed the
placing OF this public property in
the. care OF the Navy Department
for safekeepins, and that the -Su-
preme Court had put the. zeal Of Its
approval upon the act
