On May :, Ernest Bruncken was CURLY

not concealed his ro-German SYM

policies.
Following is his own statement Of the
circumstances:
| was removed from my office Of

Herbert Putnam, Librarian of Congress.
under the following circumstances, after
| had declined to tender my resignation.
A week or so ago, a Washington
evening paper correctly reported a story
that J had refused to answer certain i'm
pertinent questions regarding my official
conduct and personal opinions. A little
later, upon being requested to do so by
the Librarian OF Congress. / submitted
to him a memorandum, which, leaving
out the Introductory paragraph, read as
follows

Office, | have already stated to you oral

against me. As a matter of fact. many
iof the things there alleged are utterly
false. Some OF the Registers conclu-
sions, moreover, are of a nature dealing
merely with my views about matters
not connected with my official duties. and
the report, which you have merely let
me read but of which you have given
me no copy, concludes in a general decla-
ration to the effect that | haze expressed
opinions about the European a goith
qchich he disagyees. and sehich in his
opinion make il doubtful sUhethcr I am
loyal TO my oath of allegiance.
That statement amounts to a graz
tuitous insult, and must convince me
when taken in connection with all the
other circumstances, that the true rea-
son for the request to resign is the mere
fact that ! haze used my prisilcge aud

clearly that the only conversation | had
about the matter was when one of the
clerks in the Copyright Office asked me
whether | was going there, whereupon
I answered briefly: 81 am not interested
in what the President may have to say
3. The rather amusing questions
whether | had said 'that the American
people were thoroughly vulgar" and that
the American people were nothing but
the tail to the English kite" hardly seem
to require an answer. Many Of my views
regarding such matters may be read by
anybody in my published writings, and
any friend of mine who has ever had a
serious conversation with me, knows
what | believe regarding the de%teriora-
ton or "vulgarization' Of the political,
social and intellectual life of those ma
tons, including the American, which
have come under the influence of the
modern tendency to rule by the multi
tude. They will also know that | have
always believed in the development of a
true American nationality and regretted
the prevailing tendency towards an un-
due and at bottom unpatriotic imitation
Of and subserviency to England.
4. Next come the questions whether
said that the President was a
traitor and that Benedict Arnold was
a saint compared to the President"
These statements, if made publicly or to
a general audience in the Copyright Of
fee. would be improper, for the I'M
doubted privilege and duty Of ar Ameri-
can citizen freely TO speak his sincere
and well-considered beliefs regarding the
conduct of the first servant Of the
American people must be modified by
the proper respect to which the highest
office in the land is entitled. The charge
implied in the question is made by a
person who has no duty or privilege to
INQUIRE into or adjudicate such a charge,
who moreover admits that he has no
knowledge regarding its truth or false
hood. and who refuses to divulge the
source Of his information regarding it.
| He does not specify the time when |
am supposed to have made these utter
ances. nor any of the circumstances
| which | might use to refresh my recol-
lection regarding the facts of the mat
fer. Under these circumstances must
decline either TO affirm or deny having
made the statements imputed to me.
The propriety and wisdom Of this de-
cision on my part will appear from the
following considerations
Ii seems obvious that the motive of
this course of questioning is lacking in
the elements Of good faith. In addition
TO the circumstances to which | have
already called attention, there is the
common knowledge everybody possesses
