the department has information that
another outbreak of bomb outrages

THE PEACE TREATY NOT
TO BE PUBLISHED NOW
When President Sends 1t to Senate
Open Debate May Force Pub
liCation.

Washington, June 800 far as
officials here know the peace treaty
will not be formally made public as
yet, even though it has been signed,
as the state department has no in
structions to publish It and does not
intend to do so. unless President Will
son directs.
The Presidents first act probably
will be to send the document to the
senate and il would be counter toI
custom If the senate itself published
the treaty before it acted upon it.
The movement. however. to conduct
the senate debate on it in the open
instead Of executive session may
bring about early publication.
1t is also probable that some part
OF the treaty will go into effect be-
fore the senate ratifies. The COM
missions for administration of Dan
zig and the Saar valley. it is thought
here, will have to begin work at once
to prevent renewal OF hostilities and
useless bloodshed on account Of the
disturbed conditions in those regions
But these and some other provisions
OF similar character are not regarded
as being involved in the controversy
over the league OF nations.
The state department has been
consulting the American commits
sioners in Paris regarding the speedy
establishment OF American con-
sular service in the former central
empires. 1t is felt that the restora-
tion OF the diplomatic establishments
can wait for time. But as raising
the blockade will open the doors to
trade relations, and as under Amer
lean law consular certifcation Of in
voices and papers relative to trade is
essential. an effort is being made to
find some way to re-establish these
officials throughout Germany and
Austria without awaiting the ap-
proval OF the senate to the peace
treaty
