CABINET WILL HAVE
PLOT PRESS AGENT
Lansing Urges That He Alone
Give Out Conspiracy
News.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.--Secrotary
Lansing called into conference to-day all
Cabinet officers whose Departments are
directly or Indirectly concerned in the
relations OF the Government With
a view Of working u some plan for
the selection of a central authority TO
deal with the publicity sido OF onences
against the neutrality laws.
Those who attended the conference b.
sides Mr.. Lansing we're Secretary Mo
Adoo. Attorney-General Gregory. Score
tary Garrison, Observation-Disclosures Bur-
Lesson and Counsellor Polk.
Mr.. Lansing informed his Cabinet col
leagues Of his belief hat steps ought
to he taken to avoid the possibility OF
confusion In the matter OF publicity
which might result from tho parallel
activities of agents Of various Depart.
ments IN dealing with cases involving
the neutrality laws.
Mr.. Lansing enlarged on h POSSIBLE
ties OF such confusion. He pointed out that
with the special agents Of tho Depart
ment OF Justice. the secret service OF
the Treasury Department. the post office
inspection service and tho representa-
t!ves of the War Department all more
or less active In ferreting out offences
against the neutrality laws. there always
exists danger hat one Department may
handicap an investigation OF the Soc
ond Department by giving premature
publicity TO data It has uncovered.
Il was Mr.. Lansins's idea that the
Secretary Of State might properly be
given the sole authority for giving out
Information relative to such cases. 1t
WAS his view that the Department Of
State Is chiefly concerned with the Gov
ernnent's foreign relations, whereas this
interest IL merely Incidental with the
other Departments. The greatest So
crecy was maintained by those who par
~ticipated In the conference and II was
impossible to ascertain what DECISION
WAS reached.
