 Tor it can be stated that if ths com mission reconvenes it will do so only upon a complete abandonment of the old basis. which proved to be unsuit- able to the erection of a full agree ment and cur government wLn have some sort of assurance in advance Of the nature and degree of the conces- sions that may be expected from thy other side, the lack Of which, it is sad, caused the failure Of the first negotiations.

WILL THE POST BE SUPPRESSED

1 Charles Emory Smith, postmaster general of the United States, believes that there is treason in the columns ot some newspapers. He expressed this belief yesterday.
 As the postmaster general spoke his eyes were on the editorial page of tht New York Evening Post, of Thursday May II, and in his mind were these words Of Abraham Lincoln:
 He who dissuades enc man from volunteering, or induces a sCldier tC desert, weakens the Union cause as much as he who kills Union soldier ill battle
 The postmaster general was asked by a reporter for tke Times the follow ing question:
 If it is a violation of law for Ed ward Atkinson of Brookline. Mass. tc utter a pamphlet entitled The Hell ot War and It's Penalties, and to disccur- age Or attempt to discourage the eu- listment or re-enlistment of vO;un- teers in the duty Of sIDpressing re beIlicn, encourage by argument the withdrawal of volunteers from the ser vice, and encourage by inference. the deserticn of soldiers, is it not also a violation of law for MT. B. L. GOdkln. editor Of the New York Evening Post. to give aid and comfort to the enemy by means technically different"
 The postmaster general replied:
 T believe it is.
 Then the reporter asked another question. It was:
 If you have authority to exclude from the mails reasonable literatUrt of enc variety, have you not authority to exclude from the mails reasonable literature of all varieties?"

 Then, said the reporter, twill you exclude from the mails all treasonabLe matter-al matter that, in violation of the constitution and cf federal stat utes. gives aid and. comfort to an en- emy?'
 Tt is the policy of the administra- tion not to lend the use of the mail service for violations cf the law, nor for the transmission of matter whicb is against the law"
 The reporter wanted to know if the postal authorities intended to exclude the New York Evening Pest, but the answer to this question necessarily was tl8t the p0stoff1ce department could not foretell, for purposes of pub ication, it's decisions in specific eases. It was not said that the newspaper in dicated would not eventually be ex- c.uded.-Wa ashiHgton Times.
