"pITlI.ESS PUBLICITY"

"Pitiless publicity" Pooh, Where
is It at the Peace Conference? What
has become of one OF the Presidents
precepts about open covenants,
openly arrived at?" A not very care
full search will find them among the
scraps of paper" in the waste bas-
ke,s of England, France and Italy,
Word comes from Europe that the
gag rule is to be enforced. and the
public will know of the proceedings
at the peace table only after deci-
sion has been reached and definitely
disposed of. During the progress of
the war We were told that the Peace
Conference that would lay the foun-
dation for a peace that would for all
time end war would be the first at
which the people of all nations would
have an opportunity to make their
win known and felt; that all of the
proceedings would be open and above
board, and that the day of secret
diplomacy was at an end. President
Wilson was the strongest advocate of
such a doctrine, but We can find no
where in the reports that are permit
ted to leak over the wires. from
France that he is today demanding.
on behalf of the American people.
that the proceedings Of the Peace
Conference shall be open to the world
and that the newspaper men from the
United States shall be permitted to
sit in and tell what takes place at
the proceedings where the interests
of the entire world are at stake.
The only uncompromising friends
of the people are the American news
paper men. The British representa-
tives of the press were quieted with
the offer to have one of their number
handle the proceedings for them, but
the Americans, mahifesting the same
spirit which turned the tide and won
the war of liberty for the world, re-
fuse anything but unconditional sur
render to the will of the people.
The silence of the President and
the American representatives is the
greatest surprise SO far growing out
of the proceedings, and it must event.
ually lead to the conclusion that this
silence is due to a desire on their
part to keep from the American peo-
pie the sorry spectacle they make at
the table, where they must acquiesce
to the dictation of the nations that
were defeated were it not for the
men, money and munitions Of the
American nation.
II is the duty of the President to
stand firmly for ''pitiless publicity"
that the people of the world shall
know in advance that their rights are
not being bartered If this program
OF secrecy is followed, it will be the
final act necessary to convince the
world what it has long suspected
that the fight for democracy" was a
humbug, and was a slogan used only
to blind them to the fact that it was
really only battle for spoils.

able the local consumers to tide over

None of the local industries which
have been forced to close on account of
the fuel shortage have reported re-
sumption Of operations to date, The
renewal Of operations at the Bemis
