Regarding the advertisement in the June issue of the Masses, containing « blank pledge with the words, “I will not kill, nor will I encourage my brothers to kill,” Creel testified that ‘he had read it carefully when Merrill | Rogers, business manager of the Masses, submitted it to him at his office in Washington. | “He asked me what I thought of, the ad," Creel testified. “I safd 1) thought it epitomized treason, He then explained that the ad did not express the policy of the Masses, but was a pgid insertion, submitted by persons outside the office. He told me the forms were already locked and it was too late to change it in the June issue, “I then told him that there was no Jaw then in existence that gave any official authority to forbid the publication of any magazine for sed!- Uous utterances.” On cross-examination by Morris Hillquit, Mr. Creel said that he had @ keen recollection of the interview with Rogers, Asked whether Rogers stated he was anxious to comply with the law, Creel answered yes, - Did you point out anything in the Masses in violation of then existing laws?” “No, but I called his attention to the fact that the tone of the publica- tion was against war.” Because of the high regard I had for some of the |men who were publishing the Masses I was anxious for them to get right on the war.” “In your conversation with Rogers was there any talk about conscien- clous objectors?” “No, [a ma firm believer tn the conscription method, and I have little sympathy for the class known as con- sclentious objectors.” HYLAN WILL SIGN BILL FOR ROCKAWAY BOULEVARD People There Entitled to the Im- provement, He Announces at City Hall Hearing.
