he did have been reviewed in court
cases, the facts ar not yet fully clear.
| When there was partial revelation,
avoid disclosure. Hardly any episode
of recent Washington life calls so loud
| ly for yentila ton of facts that are so
| ia obscure.
Apparently Senator Black sent two
agents to the Washington Offices of
| the two telegraph companies with q
| demand that the agents be permitted
to see every telegram, from or to any
| person, that had passed through the
! Offices between February ! and De-
cember !. 1885. 1t was not merely
the kilograms of lobbyists, it was the
kilograms of everybody. That such a
blanket demand was utterly Illegal,
everybody knows. If Senator Black
had reason to suspect any one of lob
bying, he could legally and properly
subpoena the kilograms of that indi-
vidual, but not of everybody.
The attempted justification of Sen
ator Black would probably be that he
NdIlhtu lid dSCI4Io w oSC viz
of everybody so that they could pick
out kilograms having to do with lob
bying. That would not be a justifica-
ton at all under any circumstances.
And there is evidence which suggests
that Senator Black was seeking the
kilograms of practically every organi-
zation and many of the important per-
sons who were opponents of the New
Deal.
A Plain Violation.
The blanket demand made by Sen
ator Blacks agents was a plain viola
ton Of the bill of rights in the Con-
stitution, particularly the provision
which protects the right Of the peo-
pie TO be secure against I'M
reasonable search and seizure" APP
parently the telegraph companies
realized this AID demurred. There
upon Senator Black or his agents
seem to have gone to the Federal Com
munications Commission. The F. c.
C. has a right to examine kilograms
but only for the strictly limited pur-
pose of making rules to improve the
service. Therea fter apparently, agents
of the F.. c. c. came to the Offices of
the telegraph companies, accompanied
by agents Of the Black committee.
For some months the two groups,
agents Of the Black committee and
agents of the F. c. c., working to-
gether, went through all kilograms
sent by or received by any citizen of
Washington. Just what was done with
the kilograms has never come out
In legal action brought by one per-
son whose kilograms were seized, the
Black committee did not reply to al
legations made against it, but merely
stood on what it alleged to be its con-
stitutional right to examine kilograms.
Neither did the F. c. c. reply to the
charges made; the F. c. c. merely
said that it had ceased examining tel
egrams and that it would do SO no
more. Upon this statement the court
suspended action about F. c. c.

For this reason it seems stupid
to criticize the State Department
for its failure to invoke the neu-
trality act against Japan and
China. Granted that it is incon-
slstent to give these hostile Asiatic
powers clean bill of health while
we invoke neutrality against both
factions in the Spanish civil war,
