after three ballots, received the
punishing “sedition,”
the lecture Monday night by Mr. Fran-
cis Fisher Kane, former District Attor-
ney for Eastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Kane |
spoke on “Free Speech,” under the
auspices of the Discussion Club, in Tay-
lor Hall.
“The second espionage act was too
extreme,”
sentences under both acts were out of
all proportion. It is unfair to deport
Russians for life, and not try them here,
and to sentence a woman to ten years
for harmlessly supporting a cause she
had been advocating all her life. Eng-
land, France and Italy freed all prisoners
under such acts as soon as the armis-
tice was signed, but we continue to hold
ours.” :
“Such sentences violate the
amendment of the Constitution, and
harm the prisoner and advance his
cause,” continued Mr. Kane. “The im:
mediate effect of criminal prosecution is
almost always bad on the people involv-
ed, and the prisoner comes out of jail
worse than when he went in. The So-
cialist, the conscientious objector and
the Red is glad to suffer for his opinions,
and advances his cause and the number
of his followers by going to jail.”
Mr. Kane assured his audience that
the old-fashioned spy with false hair
and whiskers scarcely existed during this
war. “As a matter of fact,” he said.
“there was very little spying, but a tre-
mendous amount of imagination in the
public mind,” and illustrated his point
with the story of the man on the sea-
shore who indulged in calisthenics and
was arrested for signaling enemy ships

On the question of class quotas in room-
draw, the student members of the council
asked that a definite time be established for
the final publication of the quotas, that five-
year students should not be counted in the
quota for the Senior Class, and that room-
draw rules be made more flexible in the
case of students whose roommates drop out
during the summer.
In discussing the question of Freshman
Night the Council questioned whether the
fun of the occasion has not been !ost with
the loss of its spontaneity, and recom-
mended that the Freshman Class take seri-
ously the question of returning to the class
banquet.
HOOVER TELEGRAPHS L. KELLOGG
ABOUT NEAR EAST RELIEF
Herbert Hoover has sent the follow-
ing telegram to LoLis Kellogg, Chairman
of the Service Corps Committee, in con-
nection with the Near East Relief Fund:
“Replying your letter April ninth, I
know of nothing in the humanity of our
people so disinterested and thus so much
a call upon our pity and sympathy as
is the necessity for continuing relief to
the people of Armenia. Without this
assistance, which must continue to the
extent of one million dollars per month,
these long-tried people will be faced with
immediate starvation and extermination.
The need is imperative, and our assist-
ance at this time must not be withheld.
