Open Reputation Of Pied ,ss?
President Wilson l-clared for open
covenants Of peace openly arrived at"
long before the armistice was signed.
Just before be left for Europe he told
Congress that its members would
know all that he knew concerning
proceedings over in Europe. But the
New York World. Democratic and
wilsonian, says that at ono Of the
sessions Ct the peace conference
President Wilson took exception to
the publication Of certain accounts Of
the proceedings ION the ground that
the publication implied a breach Of
confidence on the part Of some dele
gate" II the President can ind out
which delegate gave out the facts,
perhaps he will move to have him
barred from the conference.
And now the President Is coming
home to tell certain member Of Cen
gress some Of the things that the COW
enant for League Of Nations does
not reveal. and why some Of the
things that are plain are there at all.
What did the modern peace maker
mean by open covenants openly ar
rived at?"
