REDS RAP PRESIDENT
FOR HOLDING DEBS
Socialist Executive Committee
Also Hotly Oenounces the
American Legion.


~ Associated Press to Every Evening.
Chicago. Sept. lin statement
iasaed today commenting on Presi-
dent Harding's failure to act on an
application for pardon for Eugene
Dehe until after the peace treaty with
Germany is ratified. the Socialist
National Executive Committee. which
y meeting here declares I'VE decline
TO accept the latest reason given for
failure to act. II is not in accord with
the known facts"
The statement refers TO the release
Of many convicted German spies. some
Of whom were convicted of placing
bombs on ships sailing for European
ports" and denounces the American
legion.
The committee. the statement says.
learns with profound regret and in
dignation that, after months of wait
Ing. no definite action has been taken
BY President Harding. The United
States has today the unenviable dis
tinction OF being the only country
where the administration has not
granted full amnesty to all its po-
litical prisoners. Every German agent
ronvicted Of overt acts against the
government during the war has been
pardoned. Some were convicted of
placing bonnie on ships sailing for
European ports.
Both the light sentences they re-
eeived and the clemency shown these
criminals OF the old ruling class Of
Germany are significant. Acts which.
" committed by American citizens,
would incur the death penalty for
treason. are apparently considered of
minor Importance when compared with
the Frank criticisms uttered by. citi-
zsns I'm war time.
The analogy is all the more as
tonlshing when press reports intii-
cate the failure Of the President TO act
Is due 10 his desire to wait until peace
Is signed with Germany. We would
understand tho reasoning employed
to justify this course were ii used to
Justify the continued incarceration OF
German agents convicted OF crimi-
nal acts.
We decline to accept the latest
reason given for failure To act. II is
not In accord with the known facts.
II is known that one militarist organi-
zation. the American Legion. born
under mysterious financial auspices.
that has indulgcd in kidnapping OF
Socialist speakers: that has fostered
a mob spirit and has inspired and led

police functions Of many communities;
