Mr. Chairman. I declare that it is the right and duty of this Government to see to it. that our citizens.native or naturalized. are protectedin every right which belongs to them in foreign countries. that thisright andduty extends. not only to our citizens. but to all others who have acquired a domicile here and settled themselves under the protection of our laws. I admit that the right of civilized trial and the right of speedy trial are of those great rights which were secured on the field of Runnymede and were crystallized into substantial form among the principles of Magna Charta. The habeas corpus is the great safeguard of these rights wherever the forms of English law are recognized and pursued. and I do not hesitate to say. that in every ease where the American citizen or the American domiciled resident is charged with crime. it is the duty of our Government to see that speedy trial is not denied to him. wherever he is. in whatever country. tinder whatever government. and to see to it also. that it is not denied by any specious f6rm of process for delay. that the rights. secured to him by the great writ of freedom. under our law. are not denied to him wherever organized civil government exists.
