hVOCATE PACT TO EXTRADITE
DESERVING HUSBANDS IN CANADA
notwithstanding Opposition in the Senate
It Is Asserted That There Is Pros
pect Of Favorable Action.

safe from extradition. On the other
hand. a Canadian who deserts his
wife and children may escape ms
obligations by merely coming to the
United States.
If the wife is omitted in the treaty
it will be Impossible for forty of the
states to reach n,en who desert their
wives and 50 TO Canada, though they
may now be brought back from the
most distant parts of the United
States Fer instance a man who de-
serts his wife in Oh:o under certain
circumstances when his aid is particu-
larly required. if he goes to fetroit,
Mich, may he arrcstea and brought
iail. But If he crosses the river from
Detroit and goes to Windsor, Canada
he is safe from pursuit.
Wife Protection.
The treaty, therefore. is said to be
in line with the laws OF more than
four-fffths of the states of the Union,
and also in line with the best thought
in the matter of wife protection. Even
if it were preferable to omit the wife
and the supporters of the treaty
insist that it would nGt-such action
would cause another long delay in
getting the treaty negotiated and
ratified
The need of immediate action upon
the treaty is shown. it is said. by a
list of dese-ters of wife and children
from Canada. recently furnish ed. to
the United States. 1t shows that from
Montreal 50 fapiiy deserters have
crossed into the United States: from
Toronto. 1s; from Vancouver, /: from
,'s;a;e-r' rsai'nns q t~'-i Il
deserters known to be in the United
States.
The number OF family deserters
from the United States now in Canada
is claimed to be just as large, and
these men must be supported by the
communities in which the families
are left. The treaty would make it
possible TO bring these Eien back and
compel them to do their duty.
Backed by Welfare Organizations.
A large number of charity societies
and organizations in this country and
in Canada are back of the movement
to have the treaty ratified, among
them the Society for the Prevention
of Cruel Treatment of Children Of
Boston. the Association for the Inn
provement Of the Conditions of the
Poor in New York, the National Con-
ference of Jewish Charities. the Ma
tional Association of United Hebrew
Societies and the American Associa-
tion for Organizing Charity.
A resident of the District of Coiun-
bia, under the conditions existing to-
day, who fed to Canada, leaving his
wife and children destitute. would be
entirely safe from extradition. and
the community would have the, burden
of looking out for them. Under the
law of the District. men who desert
their wives and children are COM
PEELED to support them or go to Jail.
If they go to Jail the work they do,
and for which they may be paid, goes
to the credit of their families. There
families are paid while the men are
in Jail.
