PALMER HITS BACH

Not content with the movement they
have inaugurated in opposition the
League Of Nations, republicans show
an utter disregard of the properties
by delaying the confirmation vi nomi-
nations the President has made for
important positions in the public sey-
vice.
Hon. a. Mitchell Palmer, named
for Attorney General, is an object OF
attack because. he sold alien enemy
plants to Americans while he was rep
~resenting the government as Alien
Enemy. Custodian during the war.
Tr. Palmer directs attention to the
act that he is not accused of dispos-
Il of Ge*man-owned institutions for
less than their actual value and bold
~ charges that German sylapathlzers
have inspired the efforts to tisCredir
his administration rs alien property
custodian. In this conclusion, he is
probably correct as no Ee:aher OF the
committee investigating the charges
attempted to disprove his contention.
Objection to the confirmation Of Wr.
Palmer as. Attorney General was cf-
fered by Senator TreIinChuysen, re-
publican, of New Jersey, who grew
j, white with heat when conf oLted with
the charge that his actions. were
prompted by pro German influences
Of course he protested, hut the kttor-
,ney General made no retracti)n3. lie

thousand aliens, reCkrred as Tie Ger
