THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, MARCII 4, 1920 : ; i . . . ft 1 1 SOCIALISTS LOYAL, 1LUII To Build, Not to Destroy, HelH Party Purpose. WAR PROTEST ADMITTED 'America Ours Just as Much at lours,'' Aerts Defender of New York Assemblymen. A LEAN V, X. T., March 3. Morris Hillquit, summing up in a five-hour speech today in defense of the five fruspended socialist assemblymen who liiive been under investigation for the seven weeks, told the assembly Judiciary committee it had no right to impose upon these five men quali fications for office not demanded by the constitution. Declaring that the whole proceed ing ai;aint his clients was "a part of the national hysteria against rad icalism," Mr. Hillquit demanded that the judiciary committee frame a re port recommending the seating of the five socialists and completed sum ming up with a warning that If the assemblymen are unseated "that stain upon democracy will never be washed oft", never be removed.' "That precedent once created, he asserted, "will work toward undoing of the entire constitutional, represen tative system, so laboriously built up and upheld in this country." All Charges Summarized. Mr. Hillquit said that he had sum n.arized all the charges as follows: That the socialist party is a revo lutionary' organization. "That it seeks to attain its end by means of violence. That it does not sincerely believe In political action and that its politics l.- only a blind or camouflage. 'That it is unpatriotic and disloyal. "That it is unduly controlled or that it unduly controls public offi cii! Is elected on its ticKei.. "That it owes allegiance to a for eign power, known as the Interna tionale. "That it approves the soviet gov ernment of Russia and seeks to intro duce a similar regime in the United Put tes. ""That the socialist assemblymen personally opposed prosecution of the tvar and gave aid and comfort to the enemy." Aeeuaations Are Denied. Mr. Hillquit argued each of the first seven charges at length, saying Seymour Stedman. his colleague, would reply to the last. Briefly, his answers were: That the socialist party was revo lutionary and that socialists are revo lutionists in the sense that they favor a programme that will take the in dustrial system out of the hands of -private individuals and turn it over to the-people to organize it properly. That socialism has come to build and not to destroy and that the mass ac tion the socialist party has in view is the legal organized action of large masses in the community. That the socialist party did' its sac red duty to protest against the war, inasmuch as the socialist party did r.ot believe that democracy would be assured as the result of the war. That the socialist party has a right to tell candidates elected on the so cialist platform to get out of the party should they prove untrue to platform pledges and promises. , Soviet Sympathy Conceded. That the socialist party is not an nnti-national party and that if so cialism is internationalism, so is cap italism, art. and modern life. That the socialist party does not npprove the soviet government of JUissia and does not seek to intro duce a soviet form of goernment in ttWi United States, although sym pathizing with the Russian socialists lit the maintenance of the soviet gov ernment. ?Mr. Hillquit declared that through out the proceedings the charges have 'been against the socialist party rather tittin against the five individual as semblymen. He asserted that so far as the so cialist party is concerned its main indictment against the' government w; that a small minority controls the land, as well as all that "lies below and above. Then he said: 'Gentlemen, bear in mind that we take the position that America is ours Just as much as it is yours." I regular session.

Total deposits of $144,765,526.63 were shown by the banks at the close of business last Friday, as compared with $166,882,409.19 at the date of the preceding call 103 days before. There was a call of the national banks De cember 31, but none of the state char tered institutions, so that the state ment of that date was unofficial with total deposits at that date of $163. 589,909.
