new YORK ASSEMBLY
BARS FIVE SOCIALISTS
Speaker Sweet Arraigns Radicals
as Enemies and Promises
Them Legislative Hearing.

Albany, N. Y.-By an overwhelming
vote the assembly suspended five So
cialist members elected last autumn.
They are to have the right of appeal,
however, to tribunal appointed by the
assembly. The five who were refused
seats are Samuel A Dewitt and Sam
uel Orr of the Bronx, Charles Solomon
of Brooklyn and Louis Waldman and
August Classens of Manhattan.
The charges against the Socialists
were predicated on evidence obtained
by the Lusk committee, and the indict-
ment against them was drawn up by
Charles D. Newton, state attorney gen
eral, as counsel to the Lusk committee.
Action against the Socialists was un-
expected, although there had been ru-
mors that something unusual was to
take place at the opening session. Aft
er disposing of the preliminary rou-
tine Speaker Sweet directed the ser
geant-at-arms to bring the five So
cialisIs before the bar of the house,
and as they lined up before the rostrum
said:
"You are here seeking seats to
which you have been elected on a plat
form absolutely inimical to the best in
terests of the state of New York and
the United States. The party that
elected you is not really a political
party, but membership organization
admitting aliens, enemy aliens and
minors"
He then quoted from the party con-
stitution and from the minutes of So
cialist and Communist meeting and
convention.
ut is evident" he added, "that you
are bound in your office to follow the
orders of aliens whose interests are
Numerically opposed to those of the
people of the state of New York and
the United States"
Speaker Sweet then informed the
five men that they were to have their
day in court later if they desire to
purge themselves of the accusation of
opposition to the interests of the state
and federal governments.
The resolution suspending the So
cialists pending investigation by the
judiciary committee was offered by Ma
jority Leader Adler and was adopted
by 40 TO 6. Those voting against 1t
were J. Fairfax Mclaughlin and Will
liam S. Evans of the Bronx, both Dem
ocrats, and four of the Socialists. Solo
mon, who was a member last year, re-
fused to vote.

NO LOANS FOR
EUROPE NEEDED
Situation Abroad No Cause for
Hysteria Here or There,
Herbert Hoover Holds.
ORDINARY FINANCES AMPLE.
Dozen Cities Require Breadstuffs and
Commercial Credit Can Do Rest,
DEGREES Effort at Propaganda.
Advises "Get to Work"

New York.-The New York head
quarters of Herbert Hoover received
by telegraph from him a statement in
which he took emphatic exception to
opinions of European propagandists"
concerning the volume of Europe s
financial needs and the contention that
the great bulk of these needs cannot
be met by ordinary commercial credits.
He declared that with our taxes 600
per cent over previous rates" there is
no need for drawing on the United
States treasury for further loans to
European nations.
aside from some secondary meas
ures by our government" said Mr..
Hoovers statement, 1.-The problem is
one of ratification of peace and ordi-
nary business processes. By Sec
ondary measures l mean that some
dozen cities in central and southern
Europe need breadstuffs on credit from
the Grain Corporation to prevent actu-
al starvation and that the allies are
asking for temporary delay in paying
interest on our government loans to
them"
Mr.. Hoover said he believed that
outside of temporarily deferring inter-
est the task of the United States is re-
duced to helping out the bread supply
of less than 5 per cent of the popula-
ton Of Europe.
No such situation exists as that
10 >
this time, he said, and no grounds
exist for hysteria on either side of the
Atlantic.
The prosperous European nations
which have not suffered in the war
should also aid European relief, Mr..
Hoover declared, adding: If we con-
tribute to those starving cities, plus
business credits, we will be doing our
share Of world responsibility.
If we do undertake the solution of
the bread question by our government
our action would benefit and protect
the other nations of Europe from in
lection of anarchy and chaos. Poland
is the sole shield of Europe from Boil
shevik invasion If we extend this
help it should be upon consideration
that the stronger nations of Europe
will do their full part in many direc-
tions. The neutral countries have made
money from the war and have asked
no favors and have given none.
The east Baltic states have enough
food excepting milk for their children,
said Mr. Hoover. Bulgaria, Greater
Serbia, Rumania, South Prussia and
Turkey, except Armenia, have a sur
plus of food this year, while Hungary
could feed herself If Rumania would
return grain and cattle taken last sum-
mer. We are, therefore, left with Fin
land, Belgium, Poland, Czecho Slovakia
and Austria to consider. Austria is the
Sorest point in Europe.
The world needs to get away from
the notion of governmental help, both
internally and externally, and get back
to work and to business.

Washington.-By a margin Of one
vote the Suprerce Court upheld the
right of Congress to define intoxicat-
ing liquors, in so far as applied to war
time prohibition.
In five to four opinion rendered by
Associate Justice Brandeis the court
sustained the constitutionality of pro-

tons of the Volstead act affecting its
enforcement was not involved in the
proceedings, but the opinion was re-
garded as so sweeping as to leave lit
tie hope among wet" adherents.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the Anti-Saloon League of Ameri-
ca, hailed it as "a sweeping victory,
and in a statement said the only pro-
hibition question left open by the court
now is whether the eighteenth amend
ment Is of nature that can be con-
sidered as federal amendment and
whether it was properly adopted.

imous opinion, sustained the dismissal

time prohibition act against the Stand
