atoms Of Teuton Rulers.

Washington, June 11.-During con.
sideration of the rule proposed by
Senator Underwood Of Alabama to
limit senate debate during the war,
with an amendment by Senator Borah
of Idaho for public consideration Of
treaties, secret diplomacy versus open
diplomacy was argued at length in
the senate.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska,
chairman of the foreign relations com.
mittee; Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets, ranking Republican of that com.
mittee, and Senator Knox of Pennsyl-
vania, former secretary Of state, join
ed in opposing the Borah amendment
which was upheld by the author and
Senator Kellogg of Minnesota.
Demands Open Peace Treaty.
The opponents declared the princi-
pal evil Of secret diplomacy is secrecy
concerning treaties actually consum-
mated, which does not obtain in this
country. Senator Knox said negotia-
ton of treaties in public is impracti-
cal; that statements made in open dis
cussion Of treaties might prejudice the
nations interests.
Senator Borah insisted the peace
treaty to end the world war must be
made with all the peoples Of all the
nations concerned having full informa-
ton and giving their approval to the
terms, while Senator Kellogg declared
the country could not afford to go on
record now in favor of secret diplo.
macy.
with this appalling world calamity
brought on by the sordid ambitions
and secret Vaccinations of the Ger
man ruling dynasty" Senator Kellogg
said. with all our pretenses about
publicity, am not willing to cast my
vote in favor OF a system which Is
today receiving the condemnation of
the civilized world. There never has
been a time when our action would
have had as much influence in shaping
the destiny of nations as at present.
mo one claims that the executive
agents in negotiating treaty should
daily publish to the world all of their
proceedings. But the Senate cannot
afford at this time to 60 on record be-
fore the world in favor Of secret di.
plomacy.
1T is said that the open considera-
ton OF treaties in the Senate might
offend foreign powers. So long as the
