crowd of Negroes and a few whites
attending the Negro labor congress
enthusiastically cheered declarations
of William Montgomery Brown, de-
posed Protestant Episcopal bishop,
favoring communism and racial
equality of Negroes and whites last
night.
Long live communism" he
shouted, Long live the American
Negroes on an equal footing with
American Caucasians."
Others of his statements were:
II was railroaded out of the house
of bishops at New Orleans: perhaps
l was Jim Crowed.
Capitalism is politically bank
rupt; the church supporting it is
religiously bankrupt. Communism
is sure to come.
THE only religion is the desire to
make the most out of life.
There is more hope for the
workers in the international labor
defense movement than in any 9TH
err. The social system is now
ensiaving you. You are not trying
to overthrow society; you are trying
to liberate 1t from ignorance, class
prejudice and hatred, ruin and op-
preston.

He advised against concluding
that the church is bad" even
though it generally supports CAPT
talism against efforts to free the
workers.

ent," he said, "even though the way
to it was not always OPEN" Now
when "men and nations are all giy-
| ing heed to the voice which pleads
| for peace" the President continued,
they will do we'll to turn to these
lessons from the craftsmanship. the
experience and the constant aspira-
ton of the South American ma
| tons"
1.-The continent which of all the
, war is entitled to pride In the ser
vice 1t has rendered to its own peo-
pie and in the example which it has
set before the rest of mankind"
1.-The sophisticated craftsmanship
of an older world" had entertained
profound misgivings as to the ulti-
mate fate of the new American re-
publics when they first were launch
ed, the President said. adding: Now
l am glad to say. we heard less of
such misgivings. The world has had
it's test. The institutions of men
have been through their trial. That
trial has quite definitely answered
the questionings Of pessimism. 1t has
provided US with much specific In
formation by which we may judge
for ourselves whether the institu-
tions of a Republican new world or
of a monarchical old world were best
adapted as conservators of human
happiness and human progress. We
are content to leave the ANAL verdict
to history. The Republican peoples
of the Americas are prepared to
take their chance on that judg-
ment."
Recalling. that the first Pan
American conference was held al
most exactly 100 years ago, Presi-
dent Coolidge said that since then
the history of relationship among
the nations of the new world has
been a continuing story OF effort to
substitute the rule of arbitration, OF
mediation, of adjudication and con-
fidence for the rule OF force and
war.
ITO the scholarly statesmanshfp
of the Latin American nations the
world owes a debt which it has been
too tardy in acknowledging" he
said. 1.-The truth is that they have
demonstrated a peculiar genius in
the realm of international accom-
mediation and accord.
1.-THE high and humane doctrines
of international relationship which
were expounded by such men as
Calvo, Drago, Alvarez. Bello, Ruy
Barbosa, Rio Branco and long list
of others, are now recognized uni-
versally. The record of arbitrations.
mediations and adjudications among
the Latin American countries con-
stitutes one of the fairest pages In
a centurys story of mankind's ef-
fort to eliminate the causes of war
Among their international treaties
we will find models of effective COW
enants for the limitation of arma-
ments and the prevention of strife
in arms"

partment.
Mr.. Reid challenged the right Of
the court to try Colonel Mitchell. as
sorting that his client had not VIC.
lated the articles Of war or other
statutes and for that reason was not
subject to trail by courtmartial.
The retirement of the three court
members automatically place Major
General Robert L. Howe in the
presidents chair as successor to
General Summerall. Mr.. Reid read
the text of Colonel Mitchells San
Antonio statements into the record
and Lieutenant Colonel Joseph I. Nc
Mullen, assistant trial Judge advo-
cate, had started reading the war
departments specifications of charg-
es in the forenoon session when a
recess was taken until two O'Clock.
Colonel McMullen concluded read
ing the specifications after three
hours of continuous recitation.
The lively interest manifested by
the spectators during the rapid fire
of events which marked the seating
of the court sagged noticeably as the
specifications were being read. 1t
was awakened later. however, by
Representative Reids plea in behalf
of his client and continued undated
until the afternoon session ended CO.
incidently with the termination Of
the defense counsefs preliminary
pleading.
The burden Of Mr.. Reds plea was
that Colonel Mitchell had committed
no offense.
Colonel Mitchell's statements, Mr..
Reid commended, contained nothing like
a charge of criminal neglect, incom-
potency or faulty administration OF
aviation that was directed against an
individual. but applied wholly to an
intangible thing such as the war and
navy departments, and to the system
of national defense administration
that prevailed. He declared soldiers
retained constitutional rights, CHIEF
among them that of freedom of speech.
In support of his argument that Col
cnel Mitchell had been within his con-
stitutiopal rights in making references
he had to the war and navy depart
ments. Mr.. Reid called attention to the
speech of President Coolidge delivered
last June before the graduating class
at Annapolis. Md, Naval Academy,
and pointed out that the commander
in-chief of the army and navy at that
time had advocated the fullest express
sion of views by officers of the navy.
Basing his plea on the question OF
jurisdiction. Mr.. Reid told the court
the offense as charged against Colonel
Mitchell had not been named, defined
or created by the law Of military dis
cipline. any executive or army order

or laws of the United States"
