PARDON GIVEN BY TARDIEU TO FRENCH EDITOR Premier Assailed Hotly by Radicals for “Political Discrimination.’ Bv T’nitrfl /'r# mm PARIS, Dec. 27.—Vigorous opposition of Communists and radical Socialists failed to prevent the government from carrying out its intention of issuing a pardon and amnesty to Leon Daudet. irrepressible monarchist, author and publicist. The "bady boy of French politics” will be pwfmitted to come home from Brussels, where he lias been living In technical exile. After his defense of the government's amnesty program, in which he said that Daudet was not a political offender, out, merely one who had broken the common law. Premier Andre Tardieu was given a vote of confidence by 335 to 266. Communist deputies asked the premier pointedly why Daudet was favored while some of their own brethren, aged and ill, still languished in prison. Tardieu declared that he had no objection to giving freedom to old and infirm Communists, but recalled that the chamber of deputies had no right to make interpellations on any project to pardon offenders, since it is President Doumergue only who extends clemency. The premier was accused hotly by I Liberal deputies of discriminating against political prisoners. "Daudet is not a political prisoner.” was his reply. "His crime was merely an infraction of the common law.” Daudet, since his exile, has kept up his literary' bombardment, and is said to have made many secret trips into France, to address his monarchist friends, disappearing as mysteriously as he appeared.

Failing in that, too, he automatically would be listed as ineligible and could be reinstated only by another appointment. Parham was appointed by Representative De Priest of Chicago, sole Negro congressman. Soon after he entered the academy it was reported other cadets were subjecting him to "silent treatment.” This was denied by academy officers, other cadets and Parham himself. Colonel Richardson, West Point commandant, said Parham was w T ell liked by officers and men alike. The American Library Association has discovered that 50,000.000 Americans have no public library near their homes.
