COURT BARS SUIT
AGAINST cOyzENS
Tax Consultant's Action
Seeking $500, 600 Held
Banned by Constitution.

The constitutional provision that a
member Of Congress shall not, be Ques-
toned in any other place for any speech
or debate in either House, was held to-
day to be bar to suit for $500 900
damages brought against James Cou-
zers, Senator from Michigan, by Howe
P. Cochran, tax consultant, who
charged him with SANDER in a state
ment made on the floor Of the Senate
rejecting on Cochran. who claimed the
words were spoken unofficially and not
In the discharge Of Couzens' ofacial
duties as Senator.
The District of Columbia Court of
Appeals in an opinion by Chief Justice
Martin, today affirmed the action Of
Justice Wendell p. Stafford Of the Dis,
trict Supreme Court, who had sustained
9 motion Of counsel for the Senator to
dismiss the suit for lack of Jurisdiction.
:. The appellate tribunal points out that
It Is manifest that the trainers of the
constitution were Of the view that it
would best serve the interests of all the
people If members of the House and
Senate were permitted unlimited free
dom In speeches or debate. The pro-
vision to that end is therefore grounded
on public policy and should be literally
construed.
Presumably, Legislators" said the
court, will be restrained IN the exers
else of such q privilege by the respon.
stbilitieS OF their office. Moreover, Ia
the event Of their failure in that re-
gard, they win be subject to discipline
by their colleagues"
The case Is governed, the court holds,
by the decision Of the United States
Supreme Court in Kilbourn VS.. Thomp-
son (103 U. S., 1881, where it was stated

Chief Justice Martin points out thas
under the declaration, the words form
ing the basis Of plaintiffs action were
uttered IN the course Of speech In tbs
chamber Of the Senate and were abb
solutely privileged and not subject tn

averment that the words were spoken
unoh1cially and not in the discharge Cd
his official duties as Senator Is q
mere conclusion, says the Chief Justice,
and entirely qualified by the ayermena
that they were uttered in the course OF

The French press has interpreted
Tardieu's address as notice to the
world that, whatever other people may
be saying, France and her leaders are
determined with high moral energy and
devotion to continue to struggle for the
cause OF peace.
But there are Frenchmen who seem
convinced that France Is showing over
Indifference to the activities of the 1tal-
ians. Foremost among these Is Henry
Berenger, former French Ambassador
to Washington, who, with Secretary
Mellon, fashioned the accord which ar
ranged the war debt between France
and the United States. y
M. Berenger believes that the Med
iterranean problem needs attention, He
thinks that If the italian temperature
has risen little too high In recenr
years, on the other hand, the French
temperature has fallen too low
There are In this world lethargies
which may well eliminate in disagree-

NJ Berenger voiced his Judgment that
the establishment Of the new peace is
no easier that the liquidation Of the old
war.
He is not at all certain, he said, that
good will sufiices for all time.
