DAUGHERTY REVIEWS
THE RELEASE OF DEBS

Washington. Dec. 0.-Eugene '. Debs,
the socialist leader, was graTted his free
dom from Atlanta federal penftentiary on
Christmas by President Harding solely
as IAN act of grace = his violation of the
war laws remain unforgiven by the gov
ernment This was disclosed tonight by
Attorney General Daugherty, who made
public the text of his recommendations
to the president in the Debs case.
1T will be Observed" Mr. Daugherty
said, that pardon was not granted
Debs. but that his sentence was COM
muted. The action of the president in
nowise condones the offense and the re-
lease was solely an act of grace. The
gratitude of Debs will be measured by
his conduct in the future"
The administrators theory of action
in the Debs case according to Mr..
Daugherty. is to be considered as the
government policy in relation to others
imprisoned for violation of the war laws,
of which class of offenders probably no
better case could be selected" he de-
clared than that of Debs.
Regarding this class of so-called 20
litical prisoners as they are termed by
those who are demanding their release .
MIR, DaugSerty said, there is no real
reason why they should be treated any
differently than any other person who
violates the law aside from the fact that
many of them, as well as their friends
and associates on the outside, actually
