Sims Takes Soul With Daniel
Admiral Sims testified before the Senate committee that the Navy withheld sending all American naval craft to Europe early in World War I to preserve home sea strength for potential emergencies. He cited a Navy cablegram from Secretary Daniels outlining a policy to send only minor forces abroad while keeping the main fleet intact unless emergency warranted full deployment. The statement, delivered after the U S declared war, marked his first clear receipt of official policy on the matter.
