JJ. S. To Give Drastic Punishment
To Radicals Who Would Overthrow
Government To Accomplish Reforms
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

ehevism. insofar as it may mean
the advocacy of anything seeking to
overthrow by force the government of
th United States or American insti-
tutions. wiU be dealt with severely by
the department of Justice. Prosecu-
tions for the time being will be based
on war statutes and later on when
peace has been declared arrests will
be made under the treason laws or
"pedal legislation will be sought from
congress:
Xethlng vrill be done to abridge
the right of free speech or a free
press. Any reform however far
reaching Its nature can be
preached provided the machinery
recognized for the change Is the
machinery created by the consti-
tution namely the elections and
the ballots of the people but no
doctrine that looks towards "vio-
lence will be countenanced.
Thus does the government propose
to draw the line and quelch at the
outset any organized movement in
imitation of anarchism of revolution-
ists abroad.
I sought today from A. Mitchell
Palmer the new attorney general
some expression of the policy he in-
tended to pursue in regard to this
question.
There are two principles to be
kept la nslnd however said the
attorney general "that we canst
on the one hand preserve the an-
cient liberties guaranteed by the
constitution freedom of press and
freedom of speech and that en the
other hand we must not permit
the enlargement of these liberties.
"As long as efforts are made in the
exercise of these guaranteed rights
'.coking to reforms however radical
the political method as fixed by our
laws no interference is necessary.
W ill Prevent Reforms by Violence
"But when the effort looks to the
airect method by force or other means
sot recognised under our laws to ac-
complish such alleged reforms con-
duct of that sort will be carefully
scrutinised and ought to be nipped in
tne beginning."
The attorney general assured me
that the movement of so-called Bol-
evisms in America was compara-tl-.ely
insignificant and that he be-
lieved that the masses of the people
in the United States possessed far too
much intelligence to be misled by Ir-
responsible agitators.
In fact he thought the very extrav-
agance of the demands or reforms ex-
ploited would tend in most cases to
keep any consfcierable body of public
opinion from being suayed by them.

who in an address said:
"Let us unite la thanking GoC

a few weeks but he has delved into
the department of Justice and found
his bearings. He proposes that the
Sherman antitrust law shall not be-
come obsolete in these returning days
of competition and that the govern-
ment moreover shall deal fairly with
the radical wave which shows signs
of cropping out here and there in this
cotitry. For the present the depart-
ment of Justice considers a state of
war Is a till existent and that the
espionage act provides penalties and
punishments for anything resembling
sedition. On the other hand much of
this li.w was directed toward the
teaching of military insubordination or
the promotion of doctrines tending to
impede or obstruct the progress of the
war. But military operations have
ended: therefore those portions of the
law which refer to sedition against
the government or the United States
can be Invoked. x Subsequently wnen
a proclamation of peace will have
been made by the president prosecu-
tions will come under previously ex-
isting statutes relating to treason.
Many state legislatures being
anxious In the meant Ira e to leave
no stone unturned In the suppres-
sion of incipient movements of an-
archists are passing laws making
It criminal to preach doctrines of
overthrow by force of e-tlnir
institutions.
But in moat cases jurisdiction pron-
ably will be found to rest with federal
agencies and that is why a pronounce-
ment of policy by the new attorney
general is of special value at this
time.
Can Form New Parties.
To summarise the policy of the de-
partment of justice means just this:
Anybody can get up In public meeting
and advocate for example any system
of public or private or communistic
ownership of anything and if none of
the existing political parties cares to
embrace such suggestions In their
platforms and name candidates to gr
before the people to gain support at
the polls on such proposals then it is
proper and legal to advocate th
formation of a new political party to
embrace these new formulas. Such a
party to get recognition as a political
institution must abide by the laws
and rules of the federal government
and the several states. America has
had radical movements betore and
new political parties for the Populist
party -and the Socialist Labor party
have both been the refuge of radicals
but have never attracted more than a
minority of the voters.
But even a political party or a can-
didate for office will not be permitted
to advocate the use of force to over-
throw the republican form of govern-
bkb of this eonntry. Copyright i

HEARD ATCAPITAL
Filipinos With A Stable
Government Ask U. S.
To Keep Promise.
WASHINGTON. D. C April 4. Mem-
bers of the spectai mission of
the Philippine legislature here seek-
ing Immediate independence for the
islands were told today by secretary.
Baker that he spoke president Wil-
son's mind when he said he believed
the time had come to grant the com-
plete Independence desired by the
Filipino people.
The war secretary also said he
believed the mission would be
able to carry home word that the
American people loved liberty too
dearly to deny It to others.
He read a letter left by president
Wilson when he went to Europe ex-
pressing the hope that the mission
wonld result In "bringing about the
desirable ends set forth in the Joint
resolution of the legislature."
Francis Burton Harrison governor
general of the Philippines followed
Mr. Baker with the statement that
his experience In the Islands had con-
vinced him that the obstacles to in-
dependence that appeared to exist a
few years arjo had been cleared away.
Points to Record In War.
The formal memorial which was
presented when secretary Baker re-
celved the mission and which asked
independence pointed particularly to
the record of the Philippines In the
great war. 1
Jn reviving the secretary read urea-
Ident Wilson's letter addressed to
him. nnder date of March SI. It was
as follows:
vlll yon trlease express to the
gentlemen of the commission repre-
senting the Philippine legislature my
regret that I shall he enable to see
them personally on their arrival in
.Washington as' well as ray" hope that
I their mission will bo a source of sat-
isf action to them and tot It will T -
suit in cringing about the desirable
ends set form in the joint resolution
of the legislature approving the
sending of the commission to the
United States.
"I have been deeply gratified
with the constant support and en-
couragement received from the
FiHpIno people and from the
Philippine legislature In the try-
ing period through which we are
passing. The people of the Unit-
ed States hare with reason taken
the deepest pride In the loyalty
and support of the Filipino people
Thoufrh unable to meet the com
mission the Filipino people shall not

least important labor of the confer-
ence which now requires my atten-
tion. Is that of making the pathway of
the weaker people or the world less
perilous a labor which should be and
doubtless Is. of deep and abiding in-
terest to the Filipino people.
"I am sorry that I cannot look Into
the faces of the gentlemen of this
mission 'of the Philippine islands and
ten them all that I have in mind and
heart as I think of the patient labor
with the end almost In sight under-
taken by the American and Filipino
people for their permanent benefit. I
know however that your sentiments
are mine. In this regard and that yea
will translate It truly to them my
own feelings.-
Baker Recounts Illstory.
Secretary Baker recounted the his-
tory of the transition in the relations
between the American government and
the Islands from the time of the es-
tablishment of the military govern-
ment to the present. The island peo-1
pie are now very independent he ;

it is generally agreed and accepted
by the government that the housing

have figured that some 2&v0o cot-

cieties of Germany have addressed an
appeal to president Wilson giving
warning against & disregard of prin-
ciples to which Mr. Wilson has
pledged himself which they claim
induced Germany to lay down arms.
The appeal declares that lf
the Germans are driven to desper-
ation they would rather become
Bolrhevlkt than slaves and
charges the Csechs and Poles with
anticipating tbe conclusions of the
peace conference and violating
the Wilson lan principles.
It says the allies are not only con-

tions. It is maintained the allies provoked
anarchistic conditions in Germany by:
refusing to relax the blockade. I

Republican party not by what It did
In the days of Cannon or Aldrleh. bat
what It did In the two trying years of

As for the leacue of nations as
an Issue. Republicans are not dis-
turbed. Mr. Tail's warm espousal
of the leairne and the stand taken
by men like Wtekersham and Root
will they contend prevent the
Democrats from making it a party

Much satisfaction is derived espe-
cially from the letter sent by TSllhn
Root. Press dispatches from Paris
saying the Root amendments are
meeting with favor there will tend to
strengthen the Impression that tbe
Republicans have in a measure as-
sisted in making tbe league of na-

The Republican national chairman
doesnt talk cantdidates. He talks;
party solidarity. Unless the Repub-
lican party Is a unit It will not be able i
to put through a cone tractive pro-
