FREE SPEECH FOR REDS
PALMER WOULD PERMITALL
SOVIET DOCTRINES
States His Views On Present
High Price Problem Facing
This Nation
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch


Washington. May 27.-"Flat oppo-
sition to government ownership. OF
railroads, endorsement OF federal
control of manufacture and distribu-
ton of necessary commodities, and
elimination of excess profits taxes in
favor of high taxes on incomes from
investments, characterized the reply
IF Attorney General Palmer, made
public today. to the recent question
naire submitted to presidential
candidates and others by the nation
al board of farm organizations.
Dealing specifically with the ques
tons of the five great meat packers
Mr.. Palmer said the recent federal
court decree. entered after long ne
gotiations between the packers and
the government, was the longest STOW
yet taken toward their control. The
right of free speech. Mr.. Palmer
said. must be carefully guarded and
preserved"
Would Let Reds Talk.
II would have men preach as radi-
cal doctrine as they will" he contin-
ned. so long as they strive to make
that doctrine effective by peaceful
methods. But the right of free
speech is not the right of unbridled
speech without responsibility.
Stating his views as to direct
dealing between producer and con
sumner" Mr. Palmer said: II be-
lieve that the time has come when
in the interest of the producer on
the farm and the consumer in the
centers Of population. there should
be government regulation of the ex-
changes dealing in foodstuffs and in
securities of corporations whose
business has to do with commodities
which are known as necessaries. The
profits of speculation on these ex-
changes add to the price OF fopdstuffs
where directly traded in. and in the
case of shares of stock are ultimate
ly borne by the commodities"

1t is reported that on January 27 q
manifesto was posted on walls at
Spalato calling a meeting in the prin-
cipal square in protest against italian
Imperialism" The manifesto. it is as
serted, was extremely insolent, CON
tanned vulgar insults against Italy and
the Entente and urged the people to
violence against Italians in the city.
1t is declared the commander of an
American ship at Spalato did nothing to
prevent the meeting, which was in vio-
lation of an order issued by Admiral
Niblack in February, 1917.
Inflammatory speeches against Italy
and the Entente powers marked the
meeting, it is said, Colonel Nihajlovic,
the Serbian commander in Spalato,
being especially violent in an address.
When the meeting ended a mob rushed
throughout the city, sacking and de
