DISCUSSES EMBARGO

make today's session secret created
CONSERVATION at the Capitol 1t was
early rumored that the reasons for the
secrecy were to enable the adminis,ra-
tion to lay before the senate reasons
why both the embargo provisions of
the original espionage bill and the
censorship provisions should stand un-
amended and why II was mandatory
that the powers granted the president
should be absolute. This feeling de.
creased when 1t became known that
Mt least not thus far had the censor
ship problem intruded In the debate
behind closed doors.
The senate. however. has not finished
with Its executive business. Tomor-
rows session also will be executive
and there il feeling prevalent at the
Capitol that perhaps the censorship
reasons will be advanced when VIZ
embargo case Is settled.
