slav Question Tn.

Paris Jan. 1.-THE question Of
Russia continues to be one Of the most
important before the supreme council
Of the peace conference. The prob.
lem at present principally concerns
how and when she shall be repre-
sented before the conference, for
opinion in conference circles is that
pooling Of the information IN possess
sion of the various powers is expected
to lead to the clearing up of the stu
alton to some extent.
The position of the council regard
ing publicity is considered as likely to
be modified and it was believed with
the assembling Of the council today
that the press would be admitted Sat-
urday to hear President Poincare's
speech before tAe full assemblage. En-
such case, however. the newspaper
men would withdraw when the real
business before the conference was
taken up. q
The separate representation given
the British colonies in the peace con-
ference having unfavorably impressed
the French colonial world, the Havas
agency has issued a note pointing out
that by reason of the interchange
ability of the delegates the French
government can, when necessary, call
IN specially qualified plenipotentiaries
and that thus the different colonial
1foblems will be discussed with all the
necessary safeguards. +.
Paris. Jan. 17.-There was a full
attendance today Of the members OF
the council. Joseph Noulens, the
French Ambassador to Russia, enter
ed the foreign ONCE Just before the
meeting and 1t developed. later that
he raj invited by the council to meet
with it and express his views of the
Russian situation.
The council was presented with a
statement Of the actions taken by the
press representatives of the various
countries in restriction of the news
Of the peace conference proceedings.
The statement sets forth that the
American, British. Italian, Serbian
and Belgian correspondents asked
the admission of the press to the sit
tings of the council. The ranch press
delegation. on the other hand, was
unanimous In taking the contrary po-
sitiop<

Washington. Jan. Ex-senator
Borah of Idaho addressed the senate
today in protest against secrecy at the

point for open diplomacy was to be
discarded entirely.
Senator Williams of. Mississippi
joined Senator Borah in the demand
for open proceedings, saying he was
glad to see a Republican helping
President Wilson in his fight. :
Senator Borah declared he be.
lieved the matter Of publicity as to the
proceedings to be one of the most vital
propositions before the conference,
and said it ought to be known that
the senate was in sympathy with the
commissioners opposing secrecy.
