Question of Policy
"In addressing tills demand to the
Dutch government tho powers believe
it their duty to emphasize its special
character, it is their duty to insure
the execution of article 227 without
arguments becauso it is not a ques
tion of judicial character as regards
its basis but an act of high interna
tional policy imposed by tho univer
sal .conscience. In which legal forms
have been provided solely to assure
to tho accused such guarantees as
were never before recognized in pub
lic law. Tho powers aro convinced
Holland, which has nhvays shown re
spect for tho right and lo,'o of jus
tice, having been one of tho first to
claim a placo in H10 society of nations
will not bo willing to cover by hor
moral authority tho violation of prin
ciples essential to tho solidarity of
nations, all of which aro equally in
terested in preventing tho return or
a similar catastrnpho.
"It Is to the highest interest of the
Dutch pooplo not to appear to protect
tho principal author of this catas

his trial which is claimed -by the

duet of the war was to be made, no
evidence bcarimr on Ibis subject
could be heard now. Senator I'ilt
man. who directed the examination of
Admiral Sims, cautioned him not to
comment on any mutter not related
to naval decorations.
Senator I'ittman called Hie admir
al's attention to the fact Hint some
of h's recommendations for decora
tions had been ehnmicd bv the Kniubt
board and not by Secretary I'auiels.
The witness replied thai his criticism
was not of tile persons who made the
chaiiLM's, but of Hie fact that ihey
were changed.
Declaring that "in order that there
may he no reflection on tho record of
Commander 1). YV. llagley, a capable
officer," Senator I'ittman read the
record of tho unanimous award by
the Knight board of a I). S. M. to
Captain Satteiiee. commanding the
coast guard cii'ter Tampa, sunk by a
submarine September. Ill IS, with a
loss of all hands. He compared the
circumstances to those surrounding
Hie loss of Commander lUigley's ship.
Senator I'ittman t lien read tho let
ter from Secretary Daniels to Chair
man 1'auo outlining his reasons for
awarding medals to the commanding
officer of ships sunk by tho enemy.
Sims DocMi't Weaken
"Those sentiments, If maintained,
would undermine any military organ
ization." declared Admiral Sims.
No recommendation tho investigat
Ing commit two might make regarding
award of decorations to officers
would causo him to change his own
recommendations, he added.
"The committee is not conversant
with the facts and could not change
my final opinion one lota," ho de
clared.
"No ono w ho did not sweat blood
witli these officers during tho war
would lie competent to say who de
served medals."
Chairman Hale said: "Tho commit
tee is not here to award medals but
to Investigate the fads surrounding
tho uwurda already made. '
