Five ousted Assemblymen
Begin to Show Their Side
of Famous Case.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 17.--After more
than five weeks OF prosecution dur
ing which II has been charged with
practically all the crimes on the po-
litical calendar, the socialist party be-
gan today it's long deferred defense
of its right to exist as political
entity in America,
Morris llillquit, member of the
party since it's birth in this coun-
try in 1900, and the partys nc
knowledged leader and authority,
was the first witness for the defense.
He took the stand in the custer
proceedings against the flve socialist
assemblymen and in the first thirty
minutes of his testimony ripped to
pieces one of the states pet charges,
which is that the socialist party Of
America Is controlled by the inter
rationale Hillquit testified as an
expert on socialism, He qualified as
such by citing his long connection
with the party his participation in
all party counsels and international
congresses and his authorship Of
books on socialism.
INC lntelnhtlonalCt which mas
been held up by the prosecution as
world "bugaboo." he characterized
as nothing more than an interna-
ttonal debating society"
ridiculous"
ITO say that the international con.
gress directs the policy of any ma
tional party in the United States or
elsewhere is wholly ridiculous and
absurd" declared Hllquit.
ut Is. briefly, merely an intorna-
tional exchange of views and the
orles. Never have | known II to take
any disciplinary action against any
of its members, and never have
known II to expel any of the national
parties for anything whatsoever.
The national parties do not even
pay dues The expenses OF the con-
crosses and the International social
list bureau are borne by the various
socialist parties OF the world, but
even for nonpayment of these ex-
penses no party has ever been ex-
PEELED.
1T has no platform or rules. II
does not exist tor the guidance of
socialist parties in any country. 1t
has no power. 1t is merely an inter-
national eXchange--an exchange for

TREATY UNTRUE
TO ARMISTICE?
Senator Thomas Says Pact
DiSregardS Terms Which
Germany Accepted.
ACCUSES CHANGED FRONT

Washington, Feb. 17.-(A. P)-
Urging the senate ito Judge the
treaty of peace with Germany by the
light of history and test it by the
principles of international justice"
Senator Thomas, democrat, declared
today in the senate that the docu-
ment was an effectual disregard by
the United States and the allies of
the general peace terms which Ger
many was induced to accept when
she signed the armistice.
Reviewing the many speeches of
President Wilson during the war and
notes to Germany just prior to the
armistice, Senator Thomas said they
constituted a binding agreement to
treat Germany fairly and did not
justify the reparation and territorial
features of the treaty as finally
drawn up.
THE armistice became a fact" he
said, "only because a contract, a
covenant, had been made mutually
binding upon the United States and
its allies. To observe in making the
peace the principles which the presi-
dent had set forth and which the
allies, in accepting them, 4ad made
significant ky modifying In two
points, as TO the freedom of the seas,
and the necessity for indemnity from
Germany for damage done by her
during the war by sea or land and
from the air.
THE statesmen of the allies un-
questionably intended to stand by the
agreement. Unfortunately, the Brit
ish premier appealed to the country,
as they were emerging from a con-
hict which had shaken the British
empire to its foundations and put the
mark of death on the door of every
family in the land. The populace was
moved by a demand for revenge, mis-
called justice, and Lloyd George bent
beneath the storm. The election
meant virtual reputation of the
agreement.
France, smarting under the same
sore atflictions, reacted in the same
manner. When the president entered
the council at Versailles, the atmos-
phere was charged with every feeling
and passion except that for Justice"
The first effect of the changed
front, Senator Thomas said, was the
taking of the Saar basin from Ger
many and it's granting to France,
