Kennedy, who has become the principal

now serving n sentence in French Jail

state department for the purpose of pre-

kennedy is disposed to lay much stress
on :hc fact that at the time of Walters
arrest there was no actual state OF war
between France and Madagascar. He
contends that Waller, for this reason,
could not have been guilty Of the charge
on which he was tried and convicted.
IN conversation with representative
o1 the Associated press, he said this phase
OF the case had not yet been presented by
this government. and as soon as Mr.. OF.
ney should return he would present the
matter to him in this light Outlining
the case in this view of il, he said: III
France was net at war under tho law Of
nations, with Madagascar, she had no
right to subject any citizen or subject of
q third power to trial by military com.
mission.
"Such trial, involving either personal
liberty or rights Of property is tho
gravcst kind Of q violation Of civil rights
and liberties appertaining to citirenship.
In Walters case there had been no decla.
ration Of war by France against NADIA.
gascar. The refusal or failure of the
French government up to this time to
furnish the government Of the United

trial by court martial raises very strong
presumption that the grounds on which
he was sentenced to twenty years i'm.
prisonment at hard labor were not Of
