Manchester, England, Dec. "a
CTuesday When we speak of elm
mating secrecy, we do not, of course,
mean that reporters should attend the
peace conference, but that, thought
the discussions are private the results
should be published and that not at
the close of the negotiations but
throughout them"
This view was expressed today ly
S. Scott, editor of the Manchester
Guardian in talk with the Asso-
ciated Press on the question of Sc
crecy at the peace conference.
Naturally there are drawbacks.
continued the Guardians editor. Del
icate matters, involving special nation

in some ways be more difficult of ad-

public controversy but on the other

by publicity.
Doubtless public discussion would
need to be conducted with restraint
and under n sense of responsibility
and with unbroken friendiness. That
would he the duty of the public every
where, who would then become in a
real sense parties to a negotiation in
which the interests of all are involved.
1t would he the duty of the newspa
pers, SO powerful in this matter, to
assist. But the fundamental reason
for breaking with the old tradition of
secrecy arises out of the very con-
ception and the primary object of the
conference.
"The conference is, or ought to be
he coming together of the nations in
the world in the common interest of
the world and for the attainment of
objects in which all are equally con-
cerned AS long as this motive and
object are dominant there is no rea-
son for secrecy Publicity is the surest
means of keeping them dominant.
"As President Wilson well said. the
international relation we now seek to-
establish is the relaticl of understand

Paris France, Dec. 25.--"AlI the

Wilson'S fourteen points and the only
question to be discussed is their in
depreciation" said Count Won Bern

to the United States, in giving his
opinion of what Germanv's attitude
would be at the peace conference ac-
cord'ng to the Geneva correspondent
of the Matin.
Germany declared the count.
will keep the presidents program,
which grants each neople of an eth
nirall group the right to dispose of
itself"
Asked, if he thought the presidents
program would furnish the basis for
"a lasting peace, Count Won Bern
storff shrugged his shoulders.
This Is the only one which can be
proposed at present " he ndded. 'and

Asked about tho white book which

in Berlin, Count Won Bernstorff said
II don't think the hook will reveal
