RUNNYMEDE-JULY 70, 1857
Here more than seven centuries ago
The cornerstone Of freedom under law
Was set on English soil. and free men saw
Their rights affirmed, and tyranny laid low.
Then was set up Court Of Common Pleas
Where wrongs could be corrected on the ground.
For rights are vain unless court be found
Where prompt enforcement Is obtained with ease.
Here Bsrons, Bishops. Bvrsesses and King
Proclaimed Charter Of eternal worth
For men Of noble and of humble BIRTH,
That TO Its stern rronovneemsnfs all might cling
And have protection from those men who bring
Upon their fellows cruelty and dssrsh.
Because the English law makes oil men free
And freedom proves what English tongue expovnds,
Wherever law sbides good life sbovnds.
This truth the whole world now can clearly see:
Desire tor rights exceeds ths wish 10 live.
This place that saw old fsvds banners fvrIsd
Saw norms Of justice raised for eli the world
What fyrsnfs can't command now free men alive:
Today from overseas come men who know
The law OF which diefsfors stand In awe
And pledge their Faith, and inspiration draw,
And here express the gratitude they owe.
For Jvsfies-nof denied and wlihovt barter

the enactment Of specific i'm
provements which do not
call for legislation; the host
countries are co operating
sincerely with United States
authorities.
Father Snee and Prof. Pye
stated that they had seen no
evidence Of anti-American bias
on the part Of foreign tribunals.
They reported that in none
of the cases they studied was
their evidence Of police brutal
lily or third-degree methods.
They added that American
legal officers told them that
they had never known Of such
a case involving an American.
But Father Snee and Prof.
Pye did not find things to be
perfect.
There can be no doubt"
they said in their report that
in most foreign prisons con.
ditions are inferior to those
found in many American con-
flnement facilities"
They pointed out, however,
that the chief complaint was
diet and that extra food could
be purchased or brought in to
the prisoner in France, Italy
and Turkey. Britain bars this
practice.
Suggestions Made
In conclusion, the Snee-Pye
report listed these suggestions
for improving the operation Of
the SOFA:
/. Am erican au thorities
should obtain translations of
penal codes and codes Of penal
procedure for Italy and Turkey.
They said that in Italy no
United States command pos
sessed a translation of the
penal procedure and only one
command had the penal code
in English. Neither transla-
ton was available in Turkey.
I'VE met no Judge advocate
or legal officer who read either
Italian or Turkish" they re-
ported.

fore they are transferred to

ords kept at home or placed
under constant supervision If
they are sent.
3. A more thorough oriental
ton Of our personnel in the
laws and customs of the coun-
tries to which they are sent
also would c,it down the num-
Der of offenses.

for the time being in the host
country;
6. To have the services of a
competent interpreter. and
7. To communicate with a
representative of his own gov
eminent and, when the rules of
the court permit, to have such
a representative at the trial.
The conclusion by the State
and Defense Departments that
we have been uniformly sue
cessful in protecting the rights
of our personnel abroad has
been buttressed by an indie
pendent study made last year
for the American Law 1nsti-
tute.
The Rev. Joseph M. Snee
and Prof. A. Kenneth Pye.
members of the Georgetown
University Law School faculty,
visited the United Kingdom
France. Italy and Turkey and
reported on the actual opera
ton Of the SOFA and its con-
troverSial Article Z.
Conclusions Of Survey
They studied more than 500
cases in the four countries and
talked to hundreds of Ameri-
can foreign officers and civilian
officials concerned with status
Of forces. These are their gen.
eral conclusions:

well, but can be made to
operate even more smoothly by

on it is not reduced to writing.
State Department officials
YEARLY reply that a sovereign
nation % could hardly admit
having a barbaric code or (2)
tell its people that foreigners
were to be given more favorable
treatment.
Undermining its assertion that
our allies have no real desire
to try Americans and have con-
sistently waived their rights to
do so. the State Department
cited these latest figures:
Out of 1884 offenses sub.
ject to foreign jurisdiction in
the period December /, 1856, to
November 80. 1856, approx.
mately 81 per cent (9,6l4) were
waived to the United States
military authorities. Charges
were dropped in 800 additional
cases.
In the above period, 4,437
cases were tried in foreign
courts. A Jail sentence was
imposed in only 2S6 cases and
in 178 of them the sentences
were SlISnondad
Do the status of forces agree

to which an accused CT is
entitled? The answer is Eyes"
and these are his rights:
l. To a prompt and speedy
trial;
2. To be informed, in ad-
vance of trial, of the specific
charge or charges made against
him;
3. To be confronted with the
witnesses against him;
Subpoena Right Given
4. To have compulsory proc
ess for obtaining witnesses in

try:

Lost Of a Series
alton Of the agreements with
our allies, one might believe
that American servicemen are
subject to having their hands
chopped of or to manning,
flogging and other cruel and
inhuman punishment.
How do the SOFA and re-
lated pacts really work in terms
Of justice to the CT?
Pacts Protect Rights
State and Defense Depart
ment officials have asserted re-
peatedly that the agreements
are more than adequately pro-
tecting the rights of our over
seas personnel.
Gen. Lauris Norstad, SUI
preme NATO Commander told
a House Committee last month
that he did not know of a single
case where there had been a
miscarriage Of justice against
q CT by a foreign court.
"They lean so far over back
ward that they are far more
lenient with serious crimes
than we would be in the United
States courts" he said.
The State Department says
1t has run across no case under
the SOFA where an American
has been given cruel and in.
human punishment. The Pen
tagon says the same thing. And
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee last year studied the
charges of mistreatment and
found them to be without
foundation.
Oft-Repeated Reply
The above testimony is not
good enough for some critics
OF the agreements who insist
that a CT could" suffer cruel
punishment under certain for
