W. W. PROPAGANDA Cincinnati, Sept. 1. "Erroneous conceptions of personul liberty" arc doing more to undermine the supremacy of law than nil the ordinary criminals put together, according to Attorney General Dougherty, who addressed the American Bar Association convention here yestcrdny afternoon. Mr. Daughcrty's address was an at tack on theories of polltlcnl philosophy "advanced by those who either violate law or sympathlv with law violators" In Industrial conflicts, agitation to up set American forms of government, nnd against enforcement of prohibition statutes. Arguing equally ngnlnst sentiment that regirds a convicted I. W. W. as a "hero of conscience" nnd "political prisoner," that holds a bootlegger an exponent of "personal liberty" and sets up the slogan of "hurann rights against property rignts in employment dis putes, Mr. Drttigherty asserted fallacy nnd danger lay In all.

Takes Fling at Corporations Ilcentmcnt of large corporations of "persons nnd capital ngainft interfer- ! enro of Inws regulating them." Mi. ' Daugherty said, involved a "mistaken attitude" for "law and order is the shield of business and its only secur- ity." I "I nm not much in favor of new nos- 'trums and panaceas to cure the Ills of I the bodv politic." he snld. but I venture to make the following suggestions: "First. Jt is an undisputed fact that the public has n right to know what the uuurrel Is about In every actual or threatened strike or lockout nnd similar controversies. "Second. There should be some defi nite agencies ln government for ascer taining these facts full) nnd making an impartial finding by those specially qualified both by temperament nnd train ing to do this particular kind of work; and such finding should bo reported so that it will be n relinble source of knowl edge to which students and publicists and statesmen can resort. Desirable nnd Just "Third. Compulsory juilsdiction over these two factors to (ompel them to submit to an inquiry of this sort ls not oulv desirable but just. "Fourth. At present our study of this question has not been sufficiently thor ough to warrant legislation compelling the acceptance of such findings by the parties thereto. Therefore, the juris diction of the proper ngency should he obligatory upon the pnrtles to submit to the investigation ; the acceptance of the finding by the parties should be voluntary. "Fifth. The experience of the pnst shows thnt in most cases full, nccurnte. reliable publicity has been sufficient to compel nn adjustment of these cases. Public sentiment ls a controlling factor, and It is Important, in justice to both of the parties, that It should depend upon something more accurate than sue tessfnl pronoganda. "Sixth. In the course of time knowl edge of the nature and causes of these controversies derived in this way may crystallize public sentiment to the ex tent that laws ran be enacted making such controversies Impossible. "Society Is vitally interested in the proivr solutlpn of this question. When some such plnn ns I have suggested shall have been put in operation, then wo will have a more Intelligent basis upon which to enact compulsory legis lation upon tills subject."

Socialist Executive Committee Assails Delay Till Ratifica tion of Berlin Treaty CALL LEGION MILITARIST By tho Associated Press Chicago, Sept. 1. In a statement Is sued today commenting on President Harding's failure to net on nn appli cation for a pardon for Eugene V. Debs until after the pence treaty with Or manv is ratified, the Socialist National Executive Committee, which is meeting here, declares "we decline to -ccpt the latest, renson given for failure to net. It Is not ln accord with the known facts." The statement refers to the release of mnnv convicted Ciermnn spies, some of whom "were convicted of placing bombs on ships sailing for European ports," nnd denounces the American Legion. Tho committee, the stntement snv's, "lenrns with profound regret and Indig nation thnt. after months of waiting, no definite action has been taken by President Harding. The United Stntes has today the unenviable dis tinction of being tho only country whore the Administration has not granted h full amnesty to nil Its political prison ers. Every German agent convicted of overt acts ngt.inst the Government dur ing the wnr has been pardoned. Some were convicted of plncing bombs on ships sailing for European ports." "It is known that one militarist or ganization, the American Legion, born under mysterious financial auspices, thui has indulged in kidnapping of Socialist speakers; thnt hns fostered a mob spirit nnd hes inspired nnd led mobs ; that 1 as usurped the civil and police fuue tions of many communities; that is nursed by Chnmbcrs of Commerce and has attempted to terrorize those not in accord with its ignorant and reactionary views, has insolently attempted to thwart the efforts of millions to restore this country to its old status as u na tion where ull ure free to speak uud to write. "This budding mllltarist-junker clique docs not represent the present or the future. It represents the era of abysmal hatreds which it hopes to keep alive. If it gained ascendancy in the councils of the nation It would sup press every civil right with the bayonet ns the strutting militarist caste did in tlie old Germany. It represents dark ness, not light; iguorunce, not intelli gence; stupidity, not tolerance; mili tarism, not democracy, not enlightened humanity."
