WANT ALL D|SL0YAL
FREE BY PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Thc cam
paign for amnesty of all political pris-
uners will be continued with renewed
vigor in the new year.
The communication of - centences by
President Harding on Christmas day
! in no way settles the question of gen
eral amnesty, according to a statement
issued by the joint amnesty committee
here recently. The statement con-
tinues:
1.-THE general situation in this cotln-
try is exactly the same as it was tefore
the pardons We're announced, and
more than 100 men are still in federal
penitentiaries for an expression of
their opinions in war time. They are
all serving sentences for violation of
the espionage act, which no longer
exists, Just why the men who re-
ccived executive clemenCy We're chosen
rather than many others whose Of
fenses We're identical does not appear
in analyzing the cases
The presidents Christmas commit
tations wholly failed to recognize the
principle Of amnesty for war offens2s,
according to another statement issued
by Roger ~ Baldwin of New York,
director of the American Civil Liber-
ties union. He stated:
The memoranda accompanying the
.cases arc fur Of apologies for the ac-
ton tafen, sometimes on the grounds
Of charity. because the men We're old, |
sometimes because the term had near !
ly expired.
Five of the men were not political |
prisoners At all, They were convicted |
OF offenseh during tho war that micht |
he crimes at any time. 1t Is interest
ing to note that Of the 10 real pollti- |
Gals released, three are held for de- |
portation, two are ALLEGED to be men |
tally unsound, three are penitent and |
havc renowned their radical views |
and three deny they ever said what !
they were convicted for"
