PRESIDENT NOT
TO FREE DEBS
Declines to Commute Sentence OF
Socialist Leader.
fRy Associates Pressl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 - Recon-
mendation by the department Of jus
tice that the ten year sentence OF
Eugene v. Debs, long a prominent So
cia1ist leader and now serving q ten
year sentence at Atlanta, Ga, for vi
olation OF the wartime espionage
laws, be committed, effective February
IL, next, Lincoln's birthday, was re-
jected today by President Wilson and
Communication refused.
The decision. of the president came
as no surprise because of his previous
refusals to intervene in the case on
the ground that Debs had sought to
handicap the government through OPP
position to the se1ective service act
during the war, and that the granting
of clemency in this case might induce
similar tactics on the part of others
in the event of another war.
The case was reviewed by a special
board now taking UP all convictions
under the espionage act, and their
findings were endorsed by Attorney
General Palmer The findings are I'm
derstood to have pointed out that Debs
would be eligible to parole on August
II, 1922, and that his sentence in case
of good behavior would expire on De-
cember %, 1926. The recommendation
is understood to have suggested that
Debs had been adequately punished
by his confinement since June Is, 1919.
ATLANTA, Jan. 31.-Eugene v.
Debs, in the federal prison here ex-
pressed great pleasure today on re-
ceiving the news Of the action Of the
United States supreme court in re-
versing the lower court in the case of
Victor L. Berger and four other so
cialist leaders.
THE reversal will have wholesome
effect throughout the country" Debs
declared in a brief statement on the
Berger decision given out through his
attorney. Il didn't see how anything
else could happen when the supreme
court reviewed all the facts In the
case. Mr.. Berger and his friends
should never have been found guilty
in the first place.
Samuel Castleton, Debs' local attor-
ney, stated that Debs would issue a
statement tomorrow commenting on
the presidents refusal to commute his
own sentence.

He advanced the thought that
Japanese friendship for this country
and the probability of war between
Japan and the United States are de.
batable questions in the former
country. Nevertheless. he said, that
unless artiheally forced. war By
japan on America would not come in
a thousand years.
DR.. Hubert discussed with interest
the fact that Japanese army officers
for some time have been showing a
deep interest in American military
questions. Japan finds itself puzzled
to decide whether. In tho event that
it would capture the Pacific coast OF
the United States, it would be able
to hold It against American forces.

we venture To- call the attention uf
Mr.. prettyman 90 the fact that Mr.
Coady was not nearly na rnbid a

determining which of tho two eandi-
