Louis Dupont arises to sound a
cheerful note for Birmingham.
Had you noticed where $4,000, 000,-
600 must be spent by railroads of this
country over the coming three years
if they expect to handle the nationa
business?' aueried Mr.. Dupont. wei,
this would mean the building Of $780,
900 freight cars, 1Oo,o passenger cars
and 10000 engines.
Such an order. if placed next
spring. would call for capacity opera
tions of the American Car and Foun-
dry company. Pressed Steel Car. Amer
lean Locomotive, Baldwin Locomotive
and several other big concerns for a
period of several years
Imagine what this would mean to
the iron industry of Birmingham Not
only that but the whole world is de-
handing rolling stock. Manufacturers
in Europe will not be able to cope
with the situation for at least another
year All in all, 1920 and the next
several years are going to bring con-
, tinued prosperity, to Birmingham.

Public Diplomacy.

e
PHERE is nothing remarkable in the
fact that the demand for full and
u free publicity in connection with thu
peace conference should have come mainly
from the press representatives of the
United States and Great Britain, while the
press of France, Japan and other coun-
tries was disposed to acquiesce in strictly
limited news policy.
This difference of viewpoint did not nee
essarily indicate that either the govern
ment or the press of any country repre-
scented was in favor Of secret diplomacy
in the old, evil sense. What they want
is presumably just about what the govern
sment, press and people of Britain and
America want-an honest international ar
rangement, not qualified and undermined
by secret treaties and understandings, but
adopted in good faith, with the knowledge
and approval Of the public in every coun-
try concerned.
The difference revealed is mainly one OF
method. The Anglo-Saxon idea is to have
everything openly discussed and under
stood, as the plans advance step by step,
the public cooperating with the govern
ment In mutual expressions of opinion I'M
til the final, completed program is ready
for adoption. The French idea-we might
almost say, the idea of all the other ma
tions-is to have less publicity from day to
day, less inquiry into the actual processes
by which the peace delegates arrive at
their conclusions, but official statements
from time to time of the conclusions reach
ed, and eventual publication of the COM
pleted program.
Thus in either case the diplomacy would
be technically ''open," because the whole
world would be informed as to the essen
tials of the treaty.
This difference of procedure, however,
might naturally make big difference in
the conclusions arrived at. If the public is
able to keep in touch with every important
step taken by the conference from day to-
day, the public is far better able to check
up the work of the conference, and to make
sure that its own sovereign will is, express
ed. 1t is ground for congratulation, there
fore, that the conference has yielded con-
siderably to the British-American demand
for greater freedom of report and COM
ment.
The whole business seems primarily one
OF journalistic custom and tradition. Brit
ish and American newspapers are used to
printing everything" Newspapers in
nearly all other countries print Infinitely
less OF what we consider ''news," and are
far more subject to the reticence imposed
by political and social custom.
