over. DO not misunderstood me. What
/ am promising is, that every effort
shall be made to this end"
In a speech delivered by Mr.. Taft at
the Thalia Theater in this city, on Oc-
tober 2S. 1908, he said:
but that National prestige must be
used not only for the benefit of the
world at large, but for the benefit of
our own citizenship; and, therefore, as
we gain in international prestige we
ought to assert our insistence that our
passport certifying our citizenship
should secure to every man, without re
gard to creed or race, the same treat
ment the same equality of opportunity
in every nation of the globe. Now,
this is not matter with respect to
which promises of immediate accom-
plishment can be made, but of this
you can be certain, that if you com
mend the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt by electing Republican
Administration to succeed his, that
Administration will continue to press
that question until the certificate con
tanned in an American passport shall
have the effect that it ought to have
In letter addressed by Mr.. Root,
then Secretary of State, to Mr.. Jacob
H. Schiff on October 10, 1908, after
giving the reasons for acting favor
ably upon the application for the re-
opening of the Pouren case, that great
statesman said:
"The other matter relates to secur-
ing from the Russian Government
equality of treatment for all American
citizens who seek to enter Russia with
passports, without regard to their
creed or origin Our Government has
never varied in it's insistence upon
such treatment, and this Administra-
ton has repeatedly brought the matter
to the affection of the Russian Govern
ment and urged the making OF new
treaty for the purpose of regulating the
subject. We have but very recently
received an unfavorable reply to this
proposal, and we have now communi-
Gated to Russia an expression OF the
desire of this Government for the corS
plete revision and amendment of the
treaty of 1882, which provides for reci
procal rights of residence and travel
on the part of the citizens of the two
countries. We have expressed our
views that such course would be pre-
ferable to the complete termination OF
the treaty, subjecting both countries to
the possibility of being left without
any reciprocal rights whatever, owing
to the delay in the making of new
treaty"
These authoritative expressions indi-
cate, beyond peradventure, that the at
titude of Russia toward the American
passport, is regarded, as it must be, ex-
clusively an American question, one
which concerns the nation as an en-
tirety.
During the past two years there has
been a abundance of well-directed eff
fort to induce Russia, by the ordinary
diplomatic channels to recognize the
obligations of its contract. Congress
has passed resolutions indicative of the
same desire, and like recognition of
the broad scope of the question at is
sue. Apparently we are today as far
from solution of this problem, which
goes home to every American citizen

THE JEWISH HERALD


Interpretation which Russia has Civ
en- to the first articles of this same
treaty, emphasizes the establishment
evoked in any well constituted mind
at the wanton disregard by Russia of
the sanctity of it's national honor. Says
the distinguished iurist, in terms that
reflect credit upon our Jurisprudence:
I'VE think, then, that the rights of
the parties must be determined by the
treaty, but that this particular conven-
tic nbeing operative upon both powers
and intended for their mutual protec-
ton should be interpreted in a spirit
of uberrima fides, and in a manner
to carry out it's manifest purpose.
(Taylor on International Law, Section
1881 AS treaties are solemn engage
ments entered into between indepen-
dent nations for the common advance
ment of their interests and the inter
ests of civilization, and as their main
object is not only to avoid war and Sc
cure lasting and perpetual peace, but
to promote a friendly feeling between
the people of the two countries, they
should be interpreted in that broad
and liberal spirit which is calculated
to make for the existence of a perpetu-
al amity, so far as it can be done with
out the sacrifice of individual rights or
tbncn nrinpi1nlnc of nnrcnno1 GhnrtV
which lie at the foundation of our juris-

On July 8, 1904, the National Con-
vention of the Democratic Party de-
clared:
I'VE pledge ourselves to insist upon
the just AMI lawful protection OF our
citizens at home and abroad, and to
use all proper measures to secure for
them, whether native born or natural
lied, and without distinction of race or
creed, the equal protection of our laws

ties the right of travel and sojourn is
denied to American citizens, or recog-
milton is withheld from American pass
ports by any countries on the ground of
race or creed, we favor the beginning
of negotionations with the Government
of such countries to secure by treaties
the removal of these unjust discrimin-
atoms. We demand that all over the

AT the Republican National Conven-
ton held on June 10, 1908, there was
laration contained in the platform of
1904, and in the platform adopted by
the Democratic National Convention of
July 8, 1908, there was similar repeti-
ton of the pledge contained in it's plat
form of four years before.
In his speech of acceptance, deliver
ed at Cincinnati on July %, 1908, Mr..
Taft said:
'The position which our country has
won under Republican administrations
before the world should inure to the
benefit of every one, even the humblest
of those entitled to look to the Amer
lean flag for protection, without regard
to race, creed, or color, and whether
he is citizen of the United States or
of one of our dependencies. In some
countries with which we are on friend
ly terms, distinctions are made in re-
spect to the treatment of our citizens
travelling abroad, and having passports
of our Executive, based on considera-
tons that are repugnant to the prin-
ciples of our Government and civiliZa-
ton The Republican party an dadmin-
istration will continue to make every
proper endeavor to secure the abolition
of such distinctions which, in our eyes,
are both needless and opprobrious."
In speech delivered by Mr.. Taft at
Brooklyn on October &c, 1908, he said .
ut seems to me that we ought to
give the travelling American citizen
the broad significance that Roman citi-
zens had in the days of Rome, There

broken it's compact, flouted it's obliga-
tons, and ignored a series of continu-
ed protests voiced by every President
of the United States since the admins
tration of President Hayes,
In the meantime the United States
has sacredly observed the obligation
of this treaty. Its highest court has,
at the instance of the Russian Govern
ment, enforced it most drastically and
under conditions when, by strict con-
struction, Russia might well have been
denied that which it demanded as of
right under the terms of this very
treaty whose obligations it has thus
deliberately disregarded. 1t will be
instructive by way of contrast to con-
slider the facts and the decision in
Tucker VS.. AleXandroff 0S3 U. S.
424). Alexandroff was conscript in
the Russian naval service. He was as
signed to the duties of an assistant
physician. In 1899 he was detailed,
with fifty-three others to Philadelphia,
to take possession of and man the
cruiser Variag, then under. construc-
ton by Cramp and Sons under con
tract with the Russian Government.
While the vessel was still under con
struction, and before it's acceptance by
the Russian Government, AleXandroff
deserted, went to New York. where he
renowned his allegiance to the Car OF
Russia, and declared his intention to
become a citizen of the United States,
At the instance Of the Russian Vice
Consul, AleXandroff was arrested on
the charge Of desertion, in accordance
with the terms of Article TX Of the
treaty of 1892. This provided that the
Consuls, Vice Consuls, and commercial
agents of the two contracting parties
"are authorized to require the assist
ance of the local authorities, for the
search, arrest, detention. and imprls-
onment of the deserters from the ships
of war and merchant vessels of their
country. Such deSerters, when
arrested, shall be placed at the dispos-
all of the said Consuls, Vice Consuls, or
commercial agents, and may be contin-
ed in the public prisons, at the request
and cost of those who shall claim
them, in order to be detained until the
time when they shall be restored to
the vessels to which they belonged, or
sent back to their own country by a
vessel of the same nation or any other
vessel whatsoever"
1t was contended on behalf of Alex
androff that when he arrived at Phila-
delphia the cruiser was not ship, that
at the time of his desertion she had
not been accepted by the Russian Gov
eminent, had neither equipment nor
armament, had not received on board
her crew, nor had she been commits
stoned for active service, and was not
therefore ship of war.
Notwithstanding the facts upon
which stress was thus laid, the SUI
preme Court held that on liberal in
depreciation of the treaty the Variag
was ship of war, and Alexandroff
having been detailed to her service
was, from the time she became ship
part of her crew Alexandroff was
therefore surrendered to the Russian
Government, without bubble, with
out an effort to do violence to the Ian
guage of the treaty, without seeking
to implant upon its exceptions which
