When the case of the Russian refu gee, Jan Pouren, Is finally determined it will be likely to stand as n prece dent for the United States In future cases. Russia claimed to ask in good faith under an existing treaty for the extradition of a man charged with four crimes, one being murder. Pou ren's friends insist that the killing was committed aa part of a political movement in which he was Involved at the time. If the Russian should be surrender ed for trial for ono of the lighter of fenses and the trial should take on the color of political persecution this coun try would have the right to protest. An extradited prisoner should not be tried for an offense other than that for which be was surrendered without his consent. If this ruio is applied in the Pouren case the United States will be committed to it as fundamental in treaty obligations. England establish ed it in 1870, and other nations have gradually yielded the point.
