Buncombe From Kitchin.

Representative CLAUDE KiTCHIN Of
North Carolina Is talking wildly
when he says that the expansion of
the navy extending over a period Of
five years As proposed by Secretary
DANIELS twill force the world again
into an armed camp" and that the
"militarists" Of other nations will
point to our conduct as a reason why
they should renew war preparations
on a larger scale than v before"
In fact. 1t Is difficult to believe that
Mr.. kITcHiN is sincere. American
aggression upon any great European
Power is uncomfortable. Nor would
any Asiatic Power have cause to aus
pect the United States Of planning a
war Of conquest. Such being the
case, the whole world would regard
American naval expansion as defen.
sivc. which 1t would be.
Furthermore. II the Teutonic allies
were to prevail In the great war their
combined fleets, which are now strong.
er than the battle line and reserves
Of the United States, would be rap.
idly expanded by enforced additions
from the British and French navies
and by new construction to an ef-
f%ectiveness in gun power beyond the
attainment OF the United States; and
IL Great Britain and her allies were
to triumph. the fleet Of Great Britain
alone would have a lead over the
United States navy that could never
be closed.
1t is pure buncombe for Mr.. kIrCH.
IN to talk about the horrible example
If the United States II this ma.
ton were to strengthen the line Of
battle as Mr.. DANIELS proposes and
rs the General Board has urged over
and over again. How much more
persuasive we should he In the Lusi-
tania controversy If Congress had
needed the General Board.

FREE SPEECH.
The Law should Protect IL and Pun
ish Those who Abuse II.

To THE EDITOR OF The SrN-Sr: !
have been criticised by W, n. Mattison
of Brooklyn for advocating in II letter
published In THE SuN on November IA
the strict enforcement Of the constitu-
tional provisions safeguarding free
speech, even in the case of Industrial
Workers of the World. Mr.. Madison
says that industrial Workers of the
World orators who make speeches are
professional mischief makers whose
business Is to disturb the peace. His
description OF the conditions surrounding
the last Paterson strike grossly exag-
gerate the situation. II Is not a fact
that 5000 foreigners compelled 2b,0O0
peaceable fellow workers to strike The
strike was well under way before the
Industrial Workers of the World ar
| rived on the scene. No reign of terror
ensued." very little physical damage was
lone to property, and there were as many
clubbings by the police as there were
assaults by strikers. No troops were
called In, the strike being easily handled
by Paterson's very efficient police.
Moreover. Supreme Court Justice Min
turn issued "a writ Of injunction against
the Paterson police for prohibiting free
speech by the la Dor agitators. Ii Is not
likely the learned Justice would have
taken this step had he thought that the
| abor organizers were beyond the pale
of the protection of our laws, as MIR.
Madison in his letter seems To urge.
The very laws which provide for the
safeguarding Of the rights OF free
speech also AFFORD adequate means OF
furnishing an abuse thereof. one Boyd
was sentenced to a long term for ad-
~vocating sabotage. Patrick Quinlan
and Miss Flynn were charged with ad-
vocating personal injury to scabs. under
indictments setting forth the use or al
most exactly the same words In each
Instance. Quinlan was convicted and
received a sentence OF seven years and
Miss Flynn's trial resulted In a disagree
ment OF the jury. She is to be tried
again on November 20 on the same in
dictment by n Hudson county jury.
There are over goo Industrial Workers
of the World In Jail in various parts OF
the country for alleged abuses of the
exercise of the right of free speech.
1t thus appears that the arm of the
law IN strong enough both to guarantee
the rights set forth in our Bill Of Rights
and to punish abuses OF the same. To
take the position advocated by Mr..
Madison Is to admit that a government
OF law no longer exists in this country.
