peace council should be sustained, the
first Of the fourteen points will be az
meaningless as Senator Borah ami

1t would be. Apparently by unanl-
nous vote, with the distinguished au.
thor of the fourteen points present. It
was decided that Point l should be
covered by the issue of an innocuous
daily bulletin regarding the progress
of the conference.
1.-THE first OF the fourteen points
reads as follows: "Dpen covenants Of
peace. openly arrived at: after which
there shall be no private international
understanding OF any Kind. but d.
plomacy shall proceed always frankly
and in the public vlew."l
Lest the world should obtain any
further Information as to how ihe
covenants of peace are being arrived

Supervision of Most Private Activl-

of ArmiStice.

WASHINGTON, June 2S-Govern-
ment control or supervision over va
rious private activities has been so
relaxed since the signing vof the
armistice last November that the
signing Of the Peace Treaty has prac-
tically little effect on most OF them.
In cases whore Government super
vision has continued, the laws author
izing 1t stipulated that such control
should continue for different periods
after the coming Of peace.
Drafted men may be kept in the
service four months; certain enlist
ments specify six months. Control OF
railroads and wires was by law to
continue for various periods, but
measures now pending in Congress
for their return may alter that situ-
alton.
