SENATE "TRIES TO
SPEED PASSAGE OF
SEDITION MEASURE
BEGIN VOTING ON AMENDMENTS
TO BILL PASS ACT BEFORE
ADJOURNMENT ?
Senator Reed Objects to Limiting
Debate on Bill Aimed
At Traitors.
Washington, April 9. In an ef
fort to hasten disposal of the sedi
tion bill, punishing disloyal utter
ances and those intended to impede
the army draft and Liberty loan.
voting on amendments was beg-in to
day by the senate and administration
leaders hoped to pass the measure
before adjournment. Another effoit
for a final vote today with limited de
bate, was made by Senator Overman,
but Senator Reed of Missouri ob
jected.
By a vote of 33 to SI the senate
rejected an amendment by Senator
France of Maryland, proposing that
nothing in the bill should impair the
liberty or right of individuals to pub
lish or speak what is true, 'with
good motives, and for justifiiable
ends." Senator Overman opposed the
amendment, saying it might mpair
the bill's enforcement.
Criticise Creel's Remark.
A statement attributed to George
Crel, chairman of the committee cn
public information that he would be
"glad to his dying day that this coun
try was unprepared for war," was
attacked during the debate on the
Penrose amendment.
"What do you think of an official
who would make such a statement?"
Senator Sherman asked, addressing
Senator Penrose.
"It b'ertays such a lack of good
common sense that it is worthy of
nothing but contempt," Senator Pen
rose replied.
The statement was attributed to
Creel at a meeting of the National
conference of American " lecturers
here yesterday.
"If a humble citizen can be prose
cuted for indiscreet utterances, why
should we not have the departments
purged of persons who make dis
loyal remarks?" asked Senator Pen
rose. 1
Later the amendment was with
drawn temporarib', and Senator Pen
rose announced he would reintroduce
t later today. '
Senator Johnson of California, aisc
referred to Creel's speech, character
izing it as a "very remarkable utter
ance of a duly constituted authority
of the United States," which niadt
'one feel that he is not fit at thi?
time to engage in our prosecution of
the war."
During his attack on Mr. Creel,
Senator Penrose said:
"I do not sen why we should per
mit men like Mr. Creel, whose scur
rilous and defamatory utterances crs
the constitution of the United States
were read to this body the other day.
to be holding office and publishing
a publicity chronicle when he is
smeared all over with treason."
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
said that in justice and fairness tc
Creel, it should be said that he had
declared in his speech that military
preparedness was violative of Amer
ican traditions.
Disclaiming any attempt to be un
fair, Senator Johnson said rasi-y
persons disagree with Creel's state
ment and if it was denounced, under
the bill, the person criticising might
be imprisoned twenty years.
Senator Wolcott of Delaware said
Creel was not a "duly constituted
authority," having been appointed
by the president and not authorized
by congress just as Gutzeon Borg
lum, the sculptor, was appointed the
president's agent in What Senator
Wolcott said was a "voluntary" ca
pacity to investigate aviation pro
duction.
