Socialism Statement

Chicago, Jan. 31.-The Socialist par
ty, through Ats national organization
IA Chicago. issued q statement today
on the refusal of President Wilson to
pardon Eugene " Debs and the SUI
preme court decision in the Berger
case.
"The supreme court in ordering a
new trial for Victor Berger, J. Louis
Engdahl, William F. Kruse, Adolph
Germer and Irwin st. John Tucker.
confirmed what the Socialist party has
maintained since the trial, that the
five Socialist officials were tried and
convicted in an atmosphere Of hyste-
ria and prejudice that made a fair
trial impossible.
The Socialists asserted three years
ago when the men were indicted and
repeated two years ago at the time of
the tfial that the men were being pun
ished not for specific acts but solely
and only for their work as members
and officials of the Socialist party.
''In other words. the Socialists de-
clare that the prosecution of the five
men. together with the prosecution of
Eugene ". Debs and other espionage
cases. were political trials and that
the men are being punished for po-
litical opposition to the dominant DO
litical party and for no. other Of
fense." *
The statement applauded the su-
preme court decision as far as it relat-
ed to Judge Landis and attacked the
motives of that jurist. It then turned
to the Debs case. asserting that Presi-
dent Wilson had refused to recoe-
nice the fact that the hysteria OF the
war period 10 over and that savage
punishment for political heresy is out
Of date"
