conducting the peace negOtla-
tons so that the people may
know what is going on.
Nothing can be worse for the
prospects of the coming conference"
said Lord Northcliffe. than an at
mosphere of secrecy and half truths.
Yet up TO the present there has been
no official statement that the mo-
mentous meetings about to take
place will be held in accordance
with Pres't Wilson's expressed views
on the question Of open diplomacy.
The days Of secret conclaves are
dead and gone Clandestine as
semblies are harbingers OF intrigue,
suspicion and possible deception. IL
would be intolera Die that the fate Of
whole natiOnsAgreat and small
should be decided in secret. Shall
the destinies of millions Of peoples
in all quarters of the globe be left
TO the tender mercies Of a compar-
ative handful Of delegates against
whose enactments there is no public
appeal? Such would be mockery OF
that principle Of self determination
of free nations. which has been
fought for and won in this war
Labor is Alarmed
Labor. upon which the great
losses Of life during the war have
mainly fallen, is alarmed at the
prospect of great world plans being
carried out without its knowledge.
1t is reported from London that the
labor party has sent a strong pro.
test to our government which so far
has done nothing TO allay public
anxiety on the subject.
The British press and people
may be relied upon to support fully
the presidents enlightened express
sion Of opinion as TO the need Of
publicity at the momentous meet
ings expected 70 begin in Paris on
the sixth Of January. Surely the
world has suffered enough from
secret diplomacy TO realize that
medievalism OF that kind Is totally
incompatible with the conception o.
a league OF free nations. 4 great
part Of the presidents popularity is
due 10 the knowledge that ne is the
father OF open diplomacy which il
was understood would be the course
adopted AT the forthcoming sessions
Nations Know Evils.
We having learned enough Of
the evil Of secrecy during the last
four and a half years. therefore are
alarmed at rumors. which have not
yet been officially contra icted. that
the doings OF the peace conference
are 20 be wrapped in a black cloak
OF silence. So far as the United
States is concerned. have been as

life. Just to be good. to keep life pure
from degrading elements, to make 1t

me very well, but could see them all

sThere were such nice people on that
porch, as I've said before. There were
some ladies with thin silk stockings
covering their ankles and what deli
