SPEECHES WITHIN LAW

Two days advertising Of the news that
the Socialist party OF New York would
hold a mass demonstration in Madison
Square Garden last night to protest
against tho raid on The Russian Soviet
Bureau and recognition of Admiral Kol-
chaks Government by the Big Four at
Versailles did not produce the expected
mass.
About 5000 men and women had chairs
on the main floor and the bitter cry OF
the speakers echoed through empty gal
leries. A hundred pedestrian policemen
posted outside the Garden had nothing
to do beyond twlrling their nishtsticks
and a dozen on horseback enjoyed an
evening equally serene.
What there was Of the expected crowd
was the same old familiar Reds whose
tongues have trouble with English
speech and for whom a demand for
citizenship papers would have proved
most embarrassing. even though Dudley
Field Malone insisted upon employing
the euphemism my fellow citizens"
None of the speakers, who besides Mr..
Malone were Afgernon Lee. Santari
Nuorteva, secretary of the Soviet
Bureau; Albert Rhys Williams and
Municipal Court Judge Jacob PanlSen.
appeared to violate any known law or
OF dinarce in their utterances so the time
of the Government stenosraphers who
took notes was virtually wasted.
Plenty of Denunciatfon.
There was plenty of denunciatiou Of
the authorities for. seizing the papers Of
the Bolshevik agents and OF the Allies
and associated governments for tending
toward recognition of KolchaIS, who was
described as a murderer and butcher
diary-uniess it be MIR. Malone's disposal
of Archibald E Stevenson. the Soviet
raider. as "a self-appoiuted satrap from
the Union League Club
In resolutions adopted by a vote OF
1000 TO / the raid was asserted to have
been perpetrated without legal authority
or right and Leak Martens, the Soviet
representative. and his associates and
employees were said to have suffered
indigmties. This resolution continued:
Resolved, That we condemn this out
rageous ASSAULT upon the Russian Soviet
Bureau and call upon the, proper au-
thorities to immediately take steps to
return the papers and documents which
have been removed from the Office of
the bureau and to prosecutey those who
participated In this unwarranted and
wanton attack upon the Russian Soviet
Bureau.
sRcsoiued. That we extend our fra
ternal greetings 70 Mr.. Martens and his
associates and promise them aid
in their efforts to get the truth about
Russia before the American people and
to establish friendly relations between
the two countries"
Second ResoEatien.
A second resolution. termed allied
recognition of the Kolchak Government
AN assault upon the working class
Of u,.ga In. nj hal
the workers OF this country ito rally to
the support of the Russian workers. who
since the overthrow of the monarchy
have been struggling hard to establish
an Industrial democracy"
Algernou Lee. who presided on a stage
fronted with American flags. made an
instant hit by euiogizing the Boisheviki
and mentioning Lsnine and Trotzky so
that everybody could cheer. He treated
the recent bomb outrages as a gigantic
conspiracy ol capitalism and predicted
that the dynamiters would never be
caught unless the time comes when the
Socialist Representatives OF the working
cIsss---'' Thetrest OF the sentence was
elaborated by cheering. .... ..
MANY voices cried Shame, shame"
WHEN he spoke Of the unlawful and
unauthorized raid on the regularly ac-
credited representatives of the Soviet
Government, and heartily booed the
name Of Kolchak.
Mr. Nuorteva. who is a Finn, pro-
tested that there wasn't a thing in the
Soviet bureau which anyone wanted to
conceal, that inquiry had been invited
ard the invasion was like breaking
through the wall OF a room the doors
I of which were wide open" If the in
4 vestigation was an honest one. he said.
IL would prove the contrary Of what the
raiders expected. Nevertheless, said
the Soviet spokesman. the bureau deep
~ resented the insult offered"
He spoke OF Lithuania, Jugoslavia and
other small nations as nations whose
status was not fully determined so far
as tiils country was concerned, and said
IL was curious that only Soviet Russia
was not permitted the same chance of
having its case presented.
Chances of KOIchsk RaIe.
''Kolchak," no added, represents a
minority in Russia. He will never estab-
lish any rule unless he marches over the
bodies OF hundreds of thousands of Rus
sian workers. They promise to recog-
rize hin. wncn he gets to Moscow. The
only way he can get there Is as the
prisoner OF the Russian Soviet Govern
naent." [Cheers.l
Dudley Field Malone was introduced
by Mr. Lee as zone of our very good
friends" He wore a bright blue tie and
said that II he believed the Soviet Gov
ernment was attempting to SOW seeds Of
rebellion, dissension and revolt in this
country he wouldn't be at this meeting.
He cited the Constitution and State law
to prove that the raid was unwarranted
by law and said 1t violated decency, JUS
tice and American fair play as well. He
got a tremendous salute when he
shouted:
Acts OF anarchy and violence have
not been propelled by the organized
.
Calumette they have been propelled by
the paid agents of capital. We want
no anarchy in America, and we shall
have none II We control the arrogance
OF capital and the reactiouary poll
tcans" He spoke despairingly OF Presi-
dent Wilson, as of a lost leader, but
on the whole was not persuaded that
the Soviet would do for America. al
though millions of the people OF Rus
sia will have the Soviet Government for
