ernment, Mr.. Ice was put on the
stand by the prosecution.

attitude of the Socialist Party
toward war in all European countries,
Questioned by Assemblyman CIVIL
ller and Seymour Stedman, counsel
for the defense, Mr.. Lee said the So
cialist Party in France, Germany,
Austria, the scandinavian countries,
Italy, the Balkan countries and
Great Britain opposed the war
throughout and that the Socialist
Party OF the United States openly and
publicly fought against the country
entering the war and worked for
peace during the war.
The object OF the defense in bring
ing out this line OF testimony was to
show that the Socialist Party OF the
! United States acted consistently in
opposing the participation of the
/ United States in the war.
Mr.. Lee, although called by the
prosecution, was really a witness for
the defense Counsel for the prosecu-

Mr.. Lee, in answer to question
said that II he were elected Cover

out the principles Of the Socialist
Party. At this AssemblymHn Cuvl'
