Address by New Commissioner of Ag-
riculture at Vernon Meeting.

Windham County Pomona Grange
met yesterday with Vernon Grange at
Vernon. In spite of the bad going
there was an attendance of 80 at the

Victory for Castro

Why the United States authorities
should have objected TO General Cas-
tro, of Venezuela, as a transient yisi-
tor TO New York Is a matter that has
puzzled many people here. Az the
Brooklyn Times pointed out when
General Castro endeavored hrst TO
get into the country, there II abb
solutely nothing In the public record
on which he could be debarred from
landing.
But on the frivolous charge that he
had been concerned In the death OF
a political opponent In Venezuela, the
United States immigration officials
refused TO permit him to land. He
had not been tried for any crime. I'm
der our system of law he was as in
nocent of the crime imputed TO him
as any man who never set foot In
Venezuela 1t Is questionable, even
with his political opponents in ONCE.
| IL he could have been found guilty in
his own country.
Consequently, IL will be relief to
all liberty-loving Americans that a
! United States Judge has decided In
favor OF Castro's entry. While there
are many muttering against the way
In which the law Is being administer
or, and much deserved criticism OF the
courts and their procedure. 1t Is the
fact in all countries In which the
English common law prevails that
the courts are the asylums of liberty
and the sure refuge OF the oppressed.
