DECEPTIVE BYRAM SHORE.
New Workers Who Live In Greenwich,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr, The

death Of Henry Il. Mallory that he 'nad

Sound shore home OF Mr.. Mallory is in
Greenwich, Conn, OF which Byram Shore
forms part.
Byram Shore is nearer the Port Ches-
ter station than the Greenwich station,
and its residents are in the habit OF
committing from that place Hence the

PEACE URGENTLY NEEDED.
without II There May BE Moro Food
Shortage in Europe Next Year.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: A
few weeks ago our Government appro-
prlated many, many millions of dollars
| to relieve the suffering for food upon the
part of tho devastated nations in Europe.
A few weeks hence the time will arrive
for planting crops for the ensuing year
in the Balkans. RumRnia, Bulgaria,
Greece, Austria-Hungary and in Ger
many.
All these nations have suffered from
food shortage, and they all need seed
grain 20 plant this years crop. If peace
were declared and the embargo raised
It would tax the tonnage and other
transportation facilities to get to these
nations seed grain necessary TO make
this years crop.
The interminable delay of the Peace
Conference is laying the foundation for
food shortage and suffering during the
next year on the part OF these people
Docs the Peace Conference want TO in
flict another years food shortage upon
these vanquished and devastated nations,
and II not. why don't they make peace.
lift the embargo and allow these nations
to take the necessary steps to feed
themselves?
The duty OF this Peace Conference is
to make peace. enable these nations 10
establish governments and furnish en-
ployment and food and clothing, and
hence contentment, to their people. This
prolonged and inexcusable delay simply
tends to unsettle all governments, create
Bolshevism and make trouble.
There should be an insistent demand
throughout the world that this Peace
Conference make peace. and restore TO
these people the ability 20 care for
themselves by the resumption all along
the line OF their normal activities.

'DEBS'S CONVICTION
FINALLY AFFIRMED
Socialists Attempt to Harass
Government in War Is Con-
sidered Well Proved.
EDITOR FROHWERK LOSES
L. S. Supreme Court Sustains
Prison Sentences of Ten
Years in Spy Cases.

WASHINGTON. March 10.--Conviction!
Debs, Socialist leader. and Jacob Froh
werk, newspaper editor of Kansas city
were sustained to-day by the Supreme
Court in unanimous opinions delivered
by Justice Holmes Both men were SEN
fenced by the lower courts TO ten years
imprisonment.
While not passing directly upon the
constltutionallty of the act the court in
eject did declare valid the so-called en-
iistment section and reafflrmed It's opin-
lon that the espionage law Is not an In
reference with the constitutional right
of free speech.
| Debs was convicted on three counts
but the court passed directly on only one
OF these, that charging him with OBJ
structing recruiting and enlistment
through statements made in a speech ut
Canton. Ohio. last June. Tho two other
counts charged him with attempting TO
| incite INSTRUMENTATION and disloyalty. and
also with uttering language intended to
provoke and encourage resistance to the
United states Government. In arguing
the case before the Supreme Court, how
ever, the Government did not press the
last charge
Frohwerk's conviction resulted from
articles written by him and published in
the Missouri Stats Zettun1, criticising
the United States for its participation in
he war.
Some attorneys interpreted tho omis-
sion of the court to give a direct opinion
as to the constitutionality Of the espion-
age act as indicating its intention to
pass upon the merits OF each individual
case considered by it. The court granted
petitions to-day asking it to review the
case of II. Il. Kirchner convicted under
the espionage act because of state
ment made In r. speech at Elizabeth.
w. Va, in which he declared that the
Government in the prosecution OF the
war was corrupt and was controlled by
the moneyed interests. He Is under SEN
tence OF two years imprisonment
Several other espionage cases are now
f1ve cases involving charges similar TO
those against Debs are pending in ap-
pellate courts over the country
In affirming Debss conviction Justice
Holmes reviewed the statements made
by Debs in his Canton speech virtually
in detail, and also the charge that had
been made by tho lower court to the
jury.
without going into further particu-
lars" Justice Holmes said, we are OF
opinion that the verdict on the fourth
count for obstructlng and attempting to
obstruct the recruiting service of the
United States must be sustained.
The main theme Of the Debs speech.
Justice Holmes said. was Socialism, its
growth and a prophecy OF it's ultimate
success"
With that" he continued. we have
nothing to do, but IL part of tho mani
fest intent Of the more general utter
ances was to encourage those present 10
obstruct the recruiting service, and II in
passages such encouragement was di-
recny given the immunity OF the general
theme may not be enough to protect the
speech"

Canada Our Trade Jewel.

What is this marvellous Canada,
our next door neighbor and good
friend, that it can come into our mar.
kets, war times or peace times, and
buy from us as no other nation, popu-
lation unit for population unit, begins
to do? Where is there another to be
priced by us as we should prize this
stanch ally, opulent customer and
near kin? How high is the limit
which shall be placed upon the value
of the relations between that country
on the one side and our country on
the other side of thin boundary line
stretching nigh 5000 miles from the
Atlantic to the Pacific?
While the war waged we were as
founded at the magnitude of Canada
part in It, with only some 100000
inhabitants; at the men, the money.
the supplies Canada sent over; at the
materials Canada took from us to
help keep the war machinery, the in
dustrial machinery, the business ma
chinery of the Dominion driving at
top speed. But here is the war ended
ended four months ago; and what
is Canada still doing in our markets?
Only more and better than ever; that
Is all.
In January last year our exports to
Canada went beyond Sj0,30o,O0o; but
in January this year they topped $685..
100000. How does that measure in
our international trade?
Well, compare: All Africa bought
from us in January only nine millions
of dollars against Canadas nearly
hfty-six millions of dollars. All
Occania took from US So7 400 900; all
South America s52,0OO0O0. All Asia,
with many hundreds of millions of
people, bought from us only six and a
half millions of dollars more than
Canada, with its few millions of
people.
Consider our exports to Canada for
the seven months of the fiscal year
ending with January. In the CORE
spending seven months preceding-all
war months--we sold to Canada goods
amounting to S42S, 100000. That was
huge. Yet in the corresponding seven
months ended with last January
some four and a third of them war
months and some two and two-thirds
of them peace months-we sold to
Canada goods amounting to no less
than S542, 100000!
Compare again: To all Africa our
exports for the seven months were
$3s, 100000; all Oceania. S123, 100000;
all South America, 1897, 300, 900; all
Asia, S475, 100000 Canada was sixty
seven millions of dollars higher than
Asia and eighty-two millions of dollars
higher than all Oceanla and all South
America put together.
Compare once more: In the seven
months Canada bought from us
quarter of a billion of dollars more
than Canada sold us. All Asia
bought from us $780,. 900 900 more than
all Asia sold us. All South America
bought from us $121, 100000 more
than all South America sold us. All
Oceania bought from us 100000
more than all Oceania sold us. All
Africa, on tho other hand, sold us So
100000 more than all Africa bought

What n Congress Should Meet of

Congress should assemble on it's own
motion at its regular place Of meet
ing in the Capitol at Washington and
proceed Immediately to transact pub.
lie business without awaiting the is.
suance Of proclamation by the Pres

sure to arouse wide discussion.
The Constitution provides that the
Congress shall meet at least once In
every year, and fixes as the day of that
meeting the first Monday in Deccm-
Der unless they 1.-THE Congressl shall
by law appoint different day" This
mandatory, constitutional meeting
was provided in order that the legisla-
tive department should not be at the
mercy OF any other department as to
its converting. English history had
taught the authors of the Constitu-
ton that the King might ignore Par
Lament and refuse to convoke it, and
they determined that the American
President should not have power to
keep the legislature from meeting.
The President Is empowered by the
Constitution TO call the Congress in
special session by Section 3 of Article
v, which reads:
He may. on extraordinary occa-
sions, convene both houses [of the
Congressl, or either of them"

Referring TO statements made by Debs
while addressing the jury in which he
said: Il have been accused OF obstruct-
ing the war. l admit ii. Gentlemen I
abhor war. ] would oppose the war if
l stood alone" Justice Holmes said:
THE statement was not necessary to
warrant the jury in finding that ono
purpose OF the speech, whether inCiden-
tai or not does not matter. was to op-
pose not only war in general but this
war. and that the opposition was so OK
pressed that its natural and intended
effect would be to obstruct recruiting.
II that was intended. and IT, In all these
circumstances that would be It's probable
effect, it would not be protected by rca-
sor OF its being part OF a general pro-
gramme and expressions of a general
and conscientious belief"
referring to tho Introduction OF the
so-called St Louis platform as evidence
the court said:
Evidence that the defendant accepted
this view and this declaration of his
duties at the time that he made his
speech Is evidence that If In that speech
he used words tending 20 obstruct the
recruiting service he meant that they
should have that effect. We should add
that the jury was most carefully in
structed that they could not find tho de-
fendant guilty for advocacy OF any of
his opinions unless the words used had
as their natural tendency and reason
