THE NELLY CASE.
Assistant attorney-GcncralB Beck Gives
Governments Side.
nv Associated Press


WASHINGTON, December 11.-Assistant
Acknowledgement James NJ Beck argued
for the Government in the Nicely case
in the United states Supreme Court.
he characterized Afr. Lindsay's conten-
ton as meaning logically. that il an
American citizen should apply the torch
of the incendiary to the homes of the
Cuban people and assassinate its citizens,
and then flee to this country, the United
States, although pledged by the treaty
of Paris to protect life and property in
Cuba during the period of its occupation,
was powerless TO deliver such fugitive to
the municipal authorities of Cuba
He claimed that this contention was
without reason or authority to support it.
and that the true position was that this
nation has the same right as other in
dependent nations to surrender fugitive
criminals where it felt called upon from
considerations of comfy or public policy
TO do SO. Moreover he claimed that it
was an inherent attribute OF sovereignty.
being an international obligation which
each independent State must. in the
comfy OF nations. fulfill to another
As TO the right to govern Cuba, Mr..
Beck took issue with Mr. Lindsays whole
contention. He claimed that the govern
1nent, prior TO the declaration of war
against Spain. had uniformly refused to
recognize the Cuban republic. He denied
that the joint resolution operated to recog-
1lize the Cuban republic. This, he said
was shown by the fact that Congress
struck out Of the joint resolution a pro
vision (which specially recognized tie ex-
istence Of a Cuban republic
In the resolution as finally passed. Mr..
Beck pointed out that Congress had rec
ogned that the Cuban peoTse were FREQ
and independent. but he claimed that there
was wide distinction between the term
people and the expressions state" or
nation.
A State is, however. political and or
ganic entity, and while. therefore Con-
gress did recognize that the Cuban peo-
pie had. by success in the field of war
earned the right TO be regarded as free
and independent. it did not follow that any
Cuban Government, as a political entity,
was recognized.
He argued. on the contrary, that as the
result of our success on land and sea. the
kingdom of Spain had executed a. treaty
with this country. and that Cuba had been
surrendered to this country. and that
while this country held Cuba in trust for
the Cuban people until it had fulfilled the
duties of such trust and pacified the is
land the United States was the only de
facto and de jure Government i'm CUBA.
With reference 10 the Constitutional
guarantees as to a jury trial in the Bill Of
Rights Mr. Beck contended that they had
no application to Cuba.
