States, or any power not party TO
the secret treaties, to have knowledge
of them, and thus be in a position to
debate what the allies had already
decided upon as unalterable, would
be exceedingly embarrassing. It
would seem, therefore, that SO long
as these e'unalterable agreements" ex-
ist, they make the peace discussions
at Paris merely hollow form.
Liberal leaders aruge that they
should be cleared away at the in
stance of popular demand and that
the delegates should be at liberty to
negotiate a peoples treaty, based
upon present necessities rather than
past secret diplomatic sessions.
