"'orlty and minority reports of
the flcnale raval committee which in
vest 'gated Rear Admiral Sims charges
against the American naval adminis
tration during the war, was published
today, republicans declaring Secretary
Daniels' policy during the early stages
of the war was "self defensive, non
aggressive and non-helpful, while the
democrats upheld Daniels suylng his
policy was vindicated by the "un'form
success of our operations." and as de
serving the "hearty commendation of
this committee und of the American
people." )
The majority report severely scored
Daniels, ex-President Wilson and Rear
Admiral I'enson, former chief of op
erations. The minority report defend
ed them. A charge of unnecessary
cost of lives and money was declared
by the minority report to be "mon- i
strous" and without foundation, and'
said Admiral Sims failed to produce
evidence to sustain the charge.
