FRANK :WA[SK
|NBERGER DEFENSE
Recent Joint Chairman of
War Labor Board Appears
as Witness.
D. C.. HEARING RECALLED
BY the Associated Press.

! By the Associated Press.
| CHICAGO. December 21.-Frank P.
Walsh of Kansas City, until recently
| joint chairman with William H. Taft
of the Federal War Labor Board, was
| a witness for the defense in the trial
of Victor l.. Berger and other social
| list leaders in the federal court here
F.; today
| Walsh told of appearing with Amos
! Pfnchot, Clarence S. barrow, Morris
| Hillquit. Seymour Stedman and J,
! Louis Engdahl before representatives
| the Department of Justice in Wash
| ington on July IA, 1917, to protest
against the governments action in
| barring a number of small neWspa-'
| pers from the ma1ls Whlch, IT was
| charged, had been publishing sedi-
tious articles.
Here to Represent Texas Editor.
Walsh said he went to Washington
| to represent a Texas editor named
| hickey and found the socialists and
others there on a similar mission, and
the various issues were combined. He
said his client had no intention of
violating the law, but was DESTROYS
of knowing just what might be pub
lished, so that mailing rights of the
paper could be restored. The witness
read a letter which he had addressed
to Postmaster General Burleson after
the Washington hearing protesting
against the procedure, followed in
barring papers from the mails and
threatening to appeal to President
Wilson for relief. He inclosed an
editorial on free speech from Hearst's
New York newspaper. The witness
read a reply from Postmaster General
Burleson in which the letter of
Walsh's was characterized as "imper-
tinent, and probably intended to be
offensive
Walsh said that later he took the
case up with President Wilson and
suggested various changes in the
methods followed by the Post Office
Department in excluding papers from
the mails. Walsh said he had never
read more than one or two issues of
the American Socialist. and had
glanced at some of the socialists anti
war pamphlets. He also read the ST.
Louis convention platform but none
of these, he said, had made much of
an impression on him.
Walsh said he was opposed to the
war, but when this country entered
the conflict he was able to change his
mind and do his duty as a loyal citi-
zen. He said he believed the pam
phlet, 1.-The Price We Pay should be
excluded from the mails under the es-
pionage law, for alleged violations of
which the defendants are on trial:

Designed to Raise Six Billions.
The revenue bill is designed to raise
about 100000 900 in 1919 from the
taxable year 1918. The criticism of
the republcans of the plan to fix the
taxes for 1920 rested on the argument
That no one could say with any GER
sanity at this time how much money
would be needed by the government
IN 1920. They insisted that the de-
Termination of the taxes for 1920
should be left/to the next Congress,

political reasons and could be justified
In no other way. Democrats denied
This and insisted that the business of
7he country was entitled to know what

Mr.. Penrose Predicts.

During the debate preceding the
Snote Senator Penrose said he had not
made a canvas of the republican mem
hers, but he was inclined to believe
they would vote very largely against
5he 1920 tax amendment.
The committees deliberations on the
bill. he added. saved the taxpayers
1000, 100000. despite what amounted
TO intimidation" on the part of the
Secretary of the Treasury, who first
urged enactment by September %.
Senator PenroSe expressed the
opinion that Congress would be called
INTO extra session after March 4, and
that the present Congress could enact
b revenue bill for 1919 and leave the
matter of fixing taxes for 1920 until
next summer
Senator Smith of Georgia defended
the 1920 provisions. explaining that if
not enacted the high levy of 1919
might continue during 1920. Senator
King of Utah said he would support
the 1920 clauses. but that republican
opposition seemed to be based on
considerable sanity" in view of pres
eat information on 1920 conditions.
Charging that the 1890 tax pro-

people of the world that the things
that make the best citizens in times
Of peace also make the best soldiers
in times Of war"
That America had a duty to tpmor-
ming the war was also pointed out
by Mr.. Bryan. I'VE couldn't afford to
have history say that an emperor was
better ab1e to mobilize his mxnpower
ana resources than q President elect
ed by the people as their personal rep
resentztive to administer the affairs
Of a nation that has given more bless
ines to humanity than any other. We
had to win, because our nation has
put more into each man and before
each man than any other nation ever
has-more of hope, opportunity and as
piration.

Advice to Four Minute Men.

Then Mr.. Bryan diverged and gave
from the great storehouse of his own
wide experience as a public speaker
some advice to the Four-minute men.
The man who wants to be effective
in public speeches. he advised, should
himself to the use of small
ords. He must speak SO that the
least educated in his audience can
understand him and he may then be
sure that the best educated will Also"

What Mr.. Bryan Did Not Discuss.

Mr.. Bryan promised to discuss poll
tics, and particularly the. next repub-
lican candidate for President Word
was passed along by tile official censor
that this must be entirely deleted ION
your honor but Mr.. Bryan never men
toned anything that savofed Of partisan
or interparty political, contention.
President Wilson will be known in
history not as the father Of his coun-
try but as father of republics" Mr.
Bryan predicted. He said:
"The President has been so potent in
shaping naonarchies with his pen and
in awakening other nations that I
believe he will be known in history
as Father of Republics"
Emphasis was laid by Mr.. Bryan on
the fact--which, he said, the war has
thrown into bold re1ief-that the
spirit of patriotism is stronger than
the things that separate US during
political campaigns He told stories
Illustrating that in all American wars
all of the patriotism has not been on
any: one political side. and that, often
it has been shown in largest numbers
by the party not in power.
Besides saying that the war has
shown the universal spirit Of patriot
ism, Mr.. Bryan asserted that it has
proved the readiness of the people to
adapt themselves to any conditions or
crises.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-12-22

"Our entrance into the war to make
the world safe for democracy has
been more than fulfilled" he said, 'for
we have made it unsafe for anything
else" AS one of the important by.
products of the war, he said, I'VE
