Attorney for Socialist Leader in Ap- peal Asks Reversal of Judgment Against His Client on Grounds of UnconstitutionaIity
CBy Review Leased Wire,


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The right of the government in exercising war powers to regulate public discussion and freedom Of speech was denied by counsel for Eugene " Debs. in a brief filed today with the supreme court. asking reversal of Judgments sentenc. ing Debs to ten years imprisonment because of statements made in a speech in Canton, Ohio, on June Is last.
 Declaring Debs' conviction rests squarely upon his seditious temper" the brief arraigns the courts of the country on their attitude toward the espionage act.
 Practically all of the cases since the adoption of the espionage act. in dealing with the right of free speech. '" says the brief. while giving some measure Of verbal recognition to that right, have abruptly swept aside any consideration of such a right in con flict with the genera! war purposes of the government The inference of these decisions and the obvious theory of the amendments to the espionage act added in May, 1918. is that public discussions can be cOnstitutiOnally controlled as an incident of the war power. We earnestly submit that such interpretation of the right of free speech is a carelss sweeping aside of the most vital principle Of American freedom not only without affirmative constitutional warrant, but in the face of the direct prohibition of the first constitutional amendment

 Speech at Luncheon
 In his speech this afternoon at the lord mayors luncheon at Mansion house, President Wilson said:
 Mir. Lord Mayor, Your Royal High ness, Your Grace, Ladies and Gentle men:
 You have again made me feel, sir, the very wonderful and generous wei come of this great city and you have reminded me of what has perhaps be- come one Of the habits of my hfe.
 Natural Always Unprecedented
 You have said that 1 nave broken all precedents in coming across the ocean to join in the counsels or the peace conference, but I think those who have been associated with me in Washington will testify that that is nothing surprising. 1 sald to the nlem- bers of the press ill Washington one evening that one of the things that had interested me most since lived in Washington was that every time I did anything perfectly natural it was  said to be unprecedented.
 Perfectly Natural Break
 Tt was perfectly natural to break this precedent, natural because the de- mand for intimate conference took precedence over every other duty. And, after all, the breaking of prece- dents, though this may sound strange doctrine in England, is the most sen sible thing to do. The harness of precedent is sometimes a very sad and harassing trammel
 Knowledge Breeds Love
 Tn this case the breaking is sen sible for a reason that is very prettily illustrated in a remark attributed 10 Charles Lamb. One evening in com pany of his friends they were discuss ing a person who was not present and Lamb said, in his hesitatine man. ner. I h-hate that fellow
 Why, Charles one Of his friends said. I did not know that you knew him Oh. he said. I, I, I. d-don't. l c-can't h-hate a man l know
 And perhaps that simple and at tractive remark may furnish a secret for cordial international relationship. When we know one another we can't hate one another.
 Expected Bioodless Machine
 -I have been very much interested before coming here to see what sort of a person l was expected to be. So far as can make out. l was expected to be a perfectly bloodless thinking machine. whereas I am perfectly aware that 1 have in me all the in surgent elements of the human race. am sometimes, by reason of long Scotch tradition, able to keep these in- stincts in restraint The stern coven- anter that is behind me sends many an echo down the years. It is not only to pursue business. but also to seek this sort of scomradeship, that l feel it is a privilege to have come across the seas and, in the welcome that you have accorded Mrs. Wilson and me.

WILSON RECEIVES DELEGATION

LONDON. Dec President Will son, at the American embassy today received delegation from the League of Nations Union. It was headed by Viscount Grey, former secretary for forign affairs, and it included the arch bishop of Canterbury and Viscount Bryce, former British ambassador to the United States. The president, in addressing the delegation. said:
 "Gentlemen-I am very much con- plimented that you should come in person to present this address, and I have been delighted and stimulated to find the growing and prevailing inter- est in the subject of the League Of Nations; not only a growing interest merely, but a growing purpose which | am sure will prevail and it is de- lightful that members of the govern ment which brought this nation into the war because of the moral obliga- tions. based upon a treaty, should be among those who have brought me this paper. because on the other side of the water we have greatly admired the motives and subscribed to the principles which actuated the govern ment of Great Britain in obeying that moral dictate.

generally latent, was always deep | seated.
 Free Citizens Fought.
 The men who have fought in this war have been the men from the free nations who are determined that that sort of thing should end now and for ever. It is very interesting to me to observe how from every quarter, from every sort of mind, from every con cert of counsel there comes the sug- 1 gestion that there must now be not balance of power, not one power full group of nations set up against another, but a single overwhelming, powerful group of nations who shall be the trustees of the peace of the world.
 Similar Ideals Govern.
 Tt has been delightful in my con ferences with the leaders of your gov ernment to find how our minds moved along exactly the same line and how our thought was always that the key to the peace was the guarantee of the peace, not the items of it; that the items would be worthless unless there
  cert of power for tasir maintenance That is the most reassuring thing that has ever happened in the world. When this war began. the thought of league of nations was indulgentlI considered as the thought of closeted students. It was thought of as one of those things that it was right to characterize by a name which, as a university man, 1 have always resent ed. It was said to be academic, as if that in itself were a condemnation something that men could think about but never get Now we find the prac- tical leading minds of the world de- termined to get it. I
 New Word Era.
 No such sudden and potent union of purpose has ever been witnessed in the world before. Do you wonder, therefore, gentlemen, that in common with those who represent you I am eager to get at the business and write the sentences down? And that I am particularly happy that the ground is cleared and the foundations laid-for we have already accepted the same body of principles. Those principles are clearly and definitely stated to make their application afford no fundamental difficulty
 And back of us that imperative yearning of the world to have all dis turbing questions quieted, to have all threats against peace silenced, to have just men everywhere come to- gether for a common object The 1 peoples of the world want peace and l they want it now, not merely by con quest of arms, but by agreement of | mind
 Reason for Coming.
 Tt was this incomparably great ob- l ject that brought me overseas. It | has never before been deemed excus- able for a president of the United | States to leave the territory of the i United States, but I know that I sup port the judgment of my colleagues in | the government of the United States, | in saying that it was my paramount | duty to turn away even from the i'm perative tasks at home to lend such | counsel and aid as I could to this great, may I not say final, enterprise of humanity"

Rubber Goods I o Be
Produced in China
Access to Raw Material Favors
Such Manufacture

\. ". Ferrin, American Commercial
Attache, writes from Peking, China,
as follows:
''It is probable" according to s'Mil-
lard's Review" (Shanghai). chat the
manufacture of rubber tires and other
rubber articles will be begun in China
shortly. Several British and Ameri-
can tire manufacturers already have
special representatives in Shanghai
and maintain small vulcanizing plants
where the repairing Of motor-car tires
IS done efficiently; and there seems
no reason why. with the vast raw
rubber supplies Of the islands on the
southeast coast OF China and the in
oxhaustible cheap labor supply Of
China to draw on. the manufacture OF
tires and other things made of rubber
should not be profitable.
'While the condition of Chinese
roads does not promise any imme-
diate great expansion of the auto
mobile market outside the principal
cities, the vast number of jinrikishas
the popular vehicle for the local
transportation of passengers) will
provide a. the outset good market
for pneumatic tires.
"But bigger market for rubber
manufactures lies in the demand for
footwear Chinese shoes are made Of
cloth or silk, frequently with felt
soles. very comfortable foot cover
ing in fair weather. but not when the
streets and roads are deep with mud.
as most of them are in the rainy sea-
son and not infrequently in other sea-
sons. About S500OO0 worth of rubber
goods are now imported into China
annually, and a factory which could
at q reasonable price would be assured
of a steady patronage"
