OF RADICALISM
Attorney for Suspended New
York Assemblymen Speaks
' Five Hours in De
fense of Clients.
Albany, tf. Y., March 4. Morris
Hillquit, summing up in a five-hour
speech in defense of the suspended
socialist 'assemblymen who have
been under investigation for the past
seven weeks, told the assembly judi
ciary committee it had no right to
impose upon these five men qualifica
tions for .office not demanded by the
constitution.
Declaring that the whole proceed
ing against his clients was' "a pan
of the national hysteria against radi
calism," Mr. Hillquit demanded that
the judiciary committee frame a re
port recommending the seating of
the five socialists and completed his
summing up with a warning that if
the, assemblymen are unseated "that
stain upon derhocracy will never be
washed off, never be removed."
. "That precedent once created,"
he asserted, "will work , towards the
undoing of the entire constitutional,
representative system so laboriously

Mr. Hillquit, replying to charges
made against socialists, said:
That the socialist party was rev
olutionary and Mat socialists are
revolutionists in the sense that they
favor' a program that will take the
industrial system out of the hands
of private individuals and turtl it
over' to the people to organize it
properly.
That socialism has come to build
and not to destroy and that the mass
action the socialist party has in view
is the legal organized action of
large masses in the community.
Protest Was Duty. I
That the socialist party did its
sacred duty to protest against the
war, inasmuch the "socialist party
did not believe that democracy
would, be assured as the result of
the war. v
That the socialist party has a
right to tell candidates elected on
the socialist platform to get but
of the party should thejr prove un
true to platform pledges and
promises.
That the socialist party is not an
anti-national party and that if so
cialism is international, so is capi
talism, art and modern life.
That the socialist party does not
approve of the soviet government of
Russia and does not seek to intro
duce a soviet form of government
in the United States, although sym
pathizing with the Russian social
ists in the maintenance of their

American Institute of Meat Pack

adverse foreign exchange and

chiefly responsible, the institute's
bulletin on February conditions
says.
"At home there was a good vol
ume of pork trade during the
month " the bulletin says, "but
consumers seemed to want the
choice and higher priced, cuts.
High wages in the south have led

pork than in former years, and the
result is a lack of sale for the

advantages of light-weight cars, the
principle of which has been em
bodied in all Briscoes. 1
"If there is one basic idea that can
be said to be responsible for the in
ception of the Brisco.e more than
any other, it was that every pound
of surplus weight meant a definite
shortening of. tire "life and an added
load on the motor," Mr,. Cowin
wrote, in announcing his coming.
A new Briscoe is on display, in

New York, March 4. Leap year
statistics for the first two months
received here from many parts of the
country indicate by the large in

are' taking advantage of their priv
ilege and that men are coyly re
sponding "yes" at the popping of
the question.
New York's increase in marriage
licenses issued in January and Feb
ruary, as compared with the first
two months in 1919, was almost 2ft
per cent, while Dallas. Tex., showed
an increase of nearly 100 per cent

BOLIVIA CAUSES
DISTURBANCE IN
LATIN-AMERICA
Determined to Seek Window
On Pacific at Expense of
Peru or Chile Appeals
To League of Nations.
By HENRY WALES, j
Paris, March 4. (New York
Times - Chicago Tribune Cable,
Copyright. ' 1920.) Bolivia's deter
mination to seek a window on the
Pacific at the expense of either Peru
or Chile by appealing to the league
of nations has cause,d a disturbance
in Latin-American circles- in Paris.
According to dispatches received in
Paris from Lima, the Bolivian gov
ernment at La Paz has directed its
minister to Taris to demand that the
league of nations award the prov
inces of Tacna and Arica, now held
bjr Chile, to Bolivia. The Peruvian
minister made an energetic protest
against any such action, even deny
ing the right of the league of na
tions to interfere in the affair in any
manner.
Senor Abanez, Chilean minister to
Paris, states, the Santiago govern
ment would never accept any de
cision or allocation of disputed
provinces by the leagut of nations.
Chile Seizes Provinces.
Followinc the Peru-Chile war.
Chile seized the provinces of Tacna 1
and Arica as a guarantee that Peru
would pay indemnity for the war.
According to the peace treaty, Chile .
agreed to hand back these provinces I
to feru when the peace conditions
were carried out at the expiration of
IS years. The limit long since has
expired, but Chile has refused to re
store the provinces to Peru, because
meanwhile immensely valuable ni
trate and potash deposits have been
discovered there, making the con
tested provinces the richest in Chile.
In 1916 Peru felt in a strong
enough position to attack Chile and
to retake the provinces by force.
But Peru lacked munitions and war
material and could not buy them
from the United States,' as all the
American factories were under con
tract to supply the . allies. Pern
sought to place orders in Japan, and,
lacking cash, offered to cede the
Easter Islands in the Pacific to Jap
an in exchange for five submarines,
20 batteries of artillery and a big
consignment of shells, machine guns
and other war materials.
The United, States State depart
ment got wind of the deal and in
timated America would not coun
tenance a transfer of the Easter is
lands to Japan because this arch
ipelago might form a powerful
strategic base against the Panama
canal. The United States declared
war against Germany, and through
exertinsr stronsr pressure at Lima
and Santiago, staved off the pos
sibility of a war between Peru and
Chile lor the time being.
Peru, however, regards the Tac
nac and Arica provinces exactly as
France reeards Alsace-Lorraine and
complained continually and bitterly
against Chile continuing to hold the
provinces.
Now Bolivia is hoping to" profit
thrauh the dispute over the claims
to ine coniesiea provinces uy get
ting an outlet to the sea. Bolivia
wishes to tell the league of nations
that Tacnac and Arica are just as
necessary to her as Danzig is to
Poland or Fiume is to the Jugo
slavs, giving her an outlet on the
Pacific.
