Every Assurance
Of Peace, Hughes View

Washington. May 1s.-America has
every assurance Of abiding peace. so
far as our relations with other peoples
are concerned. Secretary Hughes said
tonight in an address before the Ma
tional Conference OF Social Workers.
THE clouds which two years ago
darkened the Far Eastern sky have
been dissipatcd," he said. land to the
disappointment of those who make Bit
terness the test Of patriotism we have
been able to associate the great pow
ers Of the Pacific in friendly accord
supported by mutual confidence. while
at the same time we have carefully
preserved the sound American tradi-
ton Of freedom from alliance and the
principle of equality Of opportunity"
Mr.. Hughes said that this had been
accomplished by having "a disarma-
ment Of thought" and that the WASH

to scrap distrust as we'll as the vessels

English Court of
Appeals Orders
Release of O'Brien

London. May 1G-(By A. P.)-
The court of appeal today ordered
the release of Art O'Brien. who was
deported to Ireland after being
arrested in the March roundup of
Republican sympathizers. O'Brien
was brought before the court on a
writ of habeas corpus.
The case OF Art O'Brien involv-
ing the status Of the hundred or
more Irish agitators deported to
Ireland after the arch roundup in
England and Scotland. has attract
ed wide attention in Great Britain,
especially in view of it's reaction on
the government.
O'Brien twice made unsuccessful
application for writ of habeas
corpus but on May s the court of
appeal in London decided that the
Free State government. after taking
the position that Ireland's prisoners
were her own. ultimately abandoned
that attitude and O'Brien was sent
back to England.
The situation is of interest to the
government because of the fact that
the habeas corpus act of 1870. under
which O'Brien was released pro-
vides that no resident of England
may be deported as a prisoner and
declares that persons responsible for
violation of the terms of the act
may be heavily penalized
The March deportations were by
order of Home Secretary Bridge
man and the government now finds
itself faced with the necessity of
passing an indemnity act to protect
the secretary and other officials who
acted under him.
Upon his discharge by the court.
O'Brien was immediately taken into
custody by officers from Scotland
Yard and was removed to Bow
street.
In the Bow street police station,
O'Brien was charged with seditious
conspiracy.
