If funds to Keep The DAILY WORKER can be rv id among the farmers then certainly it can be done tm the great Industrial districts of the country, The Buffalo Districty which two weeks ago was well down in the list of the districts, has nearly doubled the percentage of ite quota during the last two weeks.

Judge ‘Webster Thayer, who refus- ed to grant the men a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evi- dence—the alleged confession of Ce- lestino Madeiros of New Bedford— has allowed exceptions and has sent the bill to the supreme court. “8 8 National Government Action Asked. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Action by the national government in the Sac- co-Vanzetti case is asked by Robert Morse Lovett, an editor of the New Republic, in a letter to President Cal- vin Coolidge. Lovett suggests that the federal government act thru its executive and “if necessary by con- gressional action” consider whether the two Italian workers were con- victed for being murderers or for be ing radicals. . Lovett sent a copy of his letter to the New York Sacco-Vanzetti Emer- gency Conference which arranged the Nov. 17 mass “meetifg in Madison Square Garden. His letter to the president is in full as follows: “1 beg to call your attention to an aspect of the Sacco-Vanzetti case which should receive the at- tention of the national government, thru its executive, and if neces- sary by congressional action. The denial of the application for a new trial for these two aliens, who in a time of war hysteria were convict- ed of murder by methods which at least challenge’ inquiry, has attract- sed attention thruout the world. “On many former occasions the federal government has disclaimed resporisibility for the protection of foreigners in this country, by in- voking the constitution, whieh leaves such matters to the states. The demonstration of the fact that agents of the department of justice took part in the prosecution sf Sac- co and Vanzetti, if they did not ac- tually instigate it, is naturally re garded by foreigners as disposing of this claim. 3 “The refusal of the department of justice to open its files to the defense has confirmed the suspicion that the two Itallans were victims of a political maneuver to cover up the responsibility of the depart- ment under a former attorney-gene- ral for the death of Salsedo, while viliegally detained by the officials. In these circumstances the matter seoms one which may properly re- ceive consideration from the nation- al government, with a view to pre- serving those relations of confi- dence with other peoples which can be damaged by a failure on the part of the United States to respect the- public opinion of a large part of the world. “Most sincerely, “(Signed) Robert Morss Lovett.” Publish Article. The New Republic has published a number of articles on the Sacco-Van- zetti case, showing the abuse of ju- dicial diseretion evident in trial Judge Webster Thayer's handling of the case and drawing attention to the flimsy and seriously challenged evi- dence presented against the men. The New Republic published the bulk of several affidavits given in support of the last (denied) motion for new trial. These were the documents strongly indicating the federal gov- ernment’s part in the Sacco-Vanzet- ti frame-up on the murder charges when their radical activities seemed insufficient to convict or deport them. Sacco and Vanzetti were wrought up over the case of Andrea Salsedo, whom Lovett meitions in his letter, They were arranging protest meet- ings when they were arrested and questioned on their radical activities. The murder charges did not develop until several days later. The conduct of Sacco and Vanzetti while under ar- rest—their lying, etc,-has been ex- Dlained by their fear that they would suffer a similar fate to their friend Salsedo, who was pitched from a high floor in’ the New York department of Justice offices where he had been l- legally held for weeks, —_—_——.
