committed by its chief spokesman to
the doctrine of "pitiless publicity"
In the conduct Of its diplomacy IL
is making a record for unprecedented
unenlightenment.
1t is not too broad a statement to
make that not within the memory Of
statesmen or journalists now serving
in washington has there been an ad-
ministration which has shed SO little
light upon the serious problems and
endeavors of its foreign policy.
The complaint is not that details OF
negotiations which are pending are
withheld, but that no reports of con
ditiOns upon which there should be
an enlightened public opinion can be
obtained.
Ever since the Mexican revolution
broke out agents Of the administra-
ton have been in all parts OF Mexico
reporting on conditions there. Few
of these reports have been made
public. They have even been denied
TO congress.
AS to the demands which Japan is
making on China and the attitude Of
this government with respect 10 them,
no information is impaired
Whether the door of China is TO re-
main open is left entirely 10 conject-
ure because of the closed door Of the
state department.
The invariable reply Of Sec'y Bryan
to all requests for information on the
Japan-China situation has been: II
won't discuss it."
Nor Will he permit any other Off
cial of the department 20 discuss it.
There are some officials of the de-
partment who confess that they
would like to discuss (which may
indicate that something very interest
ing which they think the public
should know is going on-but they
have been absolutely forbidden tc do
so.
The negotiations with the European
nations now at war have been more
open, but even in those negotiations
it has happened more than once that
the first information Of the attitude
OF this government with respect to
important matters in controversy has
come via London or Berlin or
through the embassy of one Of the
belligerent powers.

COLUMBUS, July 15.-The Indus
trial Index says in its issue for this
week:
Reports show much building activ.
ity in the Southeast. This is true both
of construction definitely projected and
of contracts awarded This activity
includes the erection of large buildings
as we'll as of smaller structures, and
public improvements on the part of
municipalities and counties.
"One can hardly read of these direct
evidences of building activity without
being struck with the thought that
while the volume of construction is of
course not yet up to the normal, one
would not note such a great difference
if he did not have in mind-sub-con-
sciously at least-the fact that we
have just passed Through a period of
depression and of depressed industry.
"The outlook for construction work
in the summer and fall is believed
Lightly encouraging.
Two blast furnaces nave been
blown in in the Birmingham district.
Final contracts have been awarded
for the establishment of 100000 cot
ton mill at West Point, Ga.

struction of So miles of brick-paved
