Washington, July 18.—(A. P.) —
The msjority and minority reports
of the senate naval committee which
investigated Rear Admiral Sims’
charges against the American naval
administration during the war, were
published today.
The republicans declared that Sec­
retary Daniels’ policy during ths
war was "self-defensive, non-aggres­
sive and non-helpful,” while the
democrats upheld Daniels, saying
his policy was vindicated by ths
"uniform success of our operations,**
and was "deserving of the hearty
commendation of this committee and
of the American people."
The majority report severely scor­
ed Daniels, ex-President Wilson and
Rear Admiral Benson, the former
chief of operations.
The minority
report defended them. The charge
of an unnecessary coot of lives and
money was declared by the minority
report to be "monstrous'* and with-
out foundation, and It was said Sima
failed to produce evidence to sustain
the charges.
