Tollowlng n report advocating free

Yearly Meeting, an epistle in the form
of n memorial calling attention to "so
cinl nnd political progress which de
mands thought untrnnimclcd by sedi
tious taws."
"Deportation," continued the me
morial, "Intimidates people from clear
thinking nt n time when there Is the
grcntest need for thought."
Mr. Pnlmcr was further urged bv
the committee to use his influence with
the administration to discourage further
sedition legislation nnd to desist from
prosecution nnd deportation for free ex
pression ,if ideas.
Mr. Pnlmcivwas labored with for nn
limn, stall d one of the committee, nnd
his iin (insistency ns n Krlend nnd with
the Friends' doctrine of pence, by n
constitution of depot tntiou nnd sedition
cases, was impressed upon him with
out lesult. .
"Ills response," said the committee
members, "wns just like n politician's.
Though not evasive, it was noncommit
tnl, nt the same time defending his con
din I and nttitudc nt such variance with
his supposed religious lcws.
"Mr. Palmer, during thcl last three
months, by his published ultcrnnces and
actions in relation to nlleged bolshevlsm
and Heels' activities in this country,
has virtually repudiated himself us u
Friend." continued the speaker.
The committee thnt wnited upon Mr.
Pnlmcr was composed of Mrs. Ilnnnnh
