THE NEED OF SECRECY.
Japarese Version Of Why Everything

aneSe version of the origin and history
of the decision of the Observation-Disclosures
to observe the strictly secrecv regard
ing the proceedings of the peace confer
ence differs materially from the Rus
sian. From an authoritative Japanese
source. The Associated Press is in
formed that secrecy was one Of the con
dtions prehminarily arranged between
the representatives of the two countries
at Washington before the plenirOten =
tiaries arrived in this country. One of
the chief reasons advanced by Count
Cassini for not desiring to have the con-
ference held in Washington. was that
public sentiment in America was hostile
to the Russian side and that the pro-
ceedings could not be kept out of the
press Therefore. ne insisted if the con-
ference was TO be held in the United
States, it was essential that the most
rigid secrecy be observed. The matter
was the subject of an exchange of views
between Count Cassini and Minister
Takahira, conducted through a medium
which is not disclosed, a result o.
which secrecy was agreed upon as 6
| condition precedent to the conference.
