ANOTHER JAB
AT PRESIDENT
Amos Pinchot Criticizes. Wilson for
Not Making Public Last
Note Received from
Germany.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-"The state
departments refusal to let the Amer
lean people know the contents of the
latest German note received yester-
day, is backward step, unworthy of
Mr.. Wilcon and inappropriate at this
hour" said Amos Pinchot, in a state
ment today.
"In the first place, it is return
to old world underground secret
diplomacy, and in the second, it is
treating the people of the United
States as if they were children, who
must not be allowed to know what
government is doing.
"On January 8, 1918, in memoir
able and wise address, Mr.. Wilson
said that the abolition of secret
diplomacy was absolutely necessary
to lasting peace. Are we to under
stand then that the great principle
of open diplomacy is to apply to
notes we send to our enemies, but
not to those they send to us?
Are we to ask that Germany shall
be bound by that principle, but we
ourselves shall be free to repudiate
whenever we think 1t eXpedfent?
In short, is open diplomacy mere
ly something to use against the other
fellow?
1.-THE press says that the state de-
partment refuses to give out the Ger
man note because it is propaganda
addressed to the American people.
Have not Mr.. Wilson's notes to the
German government been propaganda
and powerful, effective propaganda,
and have they not been, one and all
of them, addressed rather to the
people than to the German govern.

THE American people and the pro-
gressive peoples of the world are be-

profiteering peace. With him they
insist on a settlement that will at

racy and end the war-making powers
