PUBLIC SAFETY BOARD
STILL SOMEWHAT HAZY
Committee Headed by Pepper
Not Yet Certain of Relation
to State Government

General "mistuess" stnl prevails con-
Cerning the activities Of the state Public
Safety Committee and its relation to the
Government at Harrisburg.
George Wharton Pepper. chairman of
the committee today refused to say whether
or not the committee would curtal its
activities on account Of the uncertainty of
funds from the State appropriation. He re.
ferred inquiries to D. T. Pierce of the
publicity subcommittee of the general com
mttee. Mr. Pierce, in turn, referred in
quiries to Mr.. Pepper.
In regard to the reports that Governor
Brumbaugh had returned to Mr.. Pepper the
letter in which Mr.. Pepper is supposed to
have made some comment on the allotment
Of only $4,000 TO the work of the commit
tee, Mr.. Pepper said today:
1T is not my understanding that It is
the ucstom Of gentlemen to return letters
to each other A communication was sent
to the Governor, but this is a matter that
Is not TO be settled by correspondence. A
conference would be the better way How
ever no formal date has been set for a con-
feTenc."
It had been planned by the state Public
Safety Committee to spend 100000 for
work in iegard to fodd supply, recruiting
and registration.

BERGER RAPS LANSING
FOR BAN ON PASSPORTS
"A Crime Against Democracy"
Says Socialist Chief of Sec
retary's Action
WAsHtNGTON. Man ga.

WASHINGTON. May 20.
"A crime against democracy" was the
phrase used by Victor Berger today In a
scathing denuncation Of Secretary Of state
Lansing for his refusal TO issue passports
to the American delegates to the interna-
Ional Socialist peace conference In Stock
holm.
ut Is grave mistake from more than
one point Of view and is absolutely without
precedent in pur country" Berger said
1T is crime against democracy"
1T Is absolutely without any precedent
In our country" he repeated THE Logan
law Of 1893 cited by the state Department
concerns only the dealings of private ind-
vduals with foreign Governments. and un-
less our Secretary Of state assumes the
Social Democrats Of Germany are the Ger
man Government or are representatives Of
the German Government. the Logan act
has no bearing I'm this case.
THE decision Of the State Department
undoubtedly has made very bad impress
sion on the democracy I'm Europe. which
Is now the Social Democracy, not a democ-
racy Of the Morganatc brand, as we have
In this country European Social Demo-
cracy will resent this slur which amounts
TO an insult. and especially the Russian
Social Democracy will naturally feel greved
that our Government has seen ht to send
Elihu Root as special Ambassador to
Russia but haE refused passports to nm
V"''' Lee anu btIktI W dlleHu tue regular
International Socialist conference
ct, of course. is unnecessary for me
to repeat that the American delegates do
not stand for separate peace between
Russia and Germany We want To bring
about general and lasting peace to the
world It is queer, yet easily understood
by the observer that the Socialists in every
country, including Germany, England and
America, are considered traitors to their
country by their own government as a rule
while, on the other hand. they are at the
same time denounced AS the best of patriots
and tools OF their own government by the
foreign governments The solution to this
riddle is easy. We stand for peace and
for world peace In every country"
