flow Of news is impeded by rules of Sc
crecy.
In former communication to the
Supreme Council the Americans as
sumed that the rule forbidding the del
egates to discuss the doings of the con-
ference with the correspondents would
not be enforced While no announce
ment on this subject has been made, it
is learned on the authority of dele
gates that the rules does still obtain.
What action the correspondents will
take viii probably be developed next
week, when the exact character of the
press representation and the number to
be admitted to the conference will be
determined.
Following is the text of the commu-
nication sent by the American news
paper men to the Council to-day:
"The American press delegation
acknowledges the reply of the peace
conference to the resolutions addressed
to them. The delegation notes that
the decision that representatives. of
the press shall be admitted to the
meetings of the full conference is an
acceptance of the principle OF direct
press representation for which the
press of America, Great Britain, Italy
and smaller nations have contendcd.
THE value of this principle, how
ever turns on the extent and fire.
quency of its limitations in practice.
The peace conference announces its
intention to limit it to the extent that
upon necessary occasions the delibera-
tions of the conference may be held
in camera Without assent on our
part to this Imitation. we trust that
if ever it is applied. the public viii
be advised through the press at the
outset of each session in camera Of
the subject to be discussed and the
name of the delegate or delegation
making the motion to go in camera
and at the close of the session the
conclusions or agreement reached.
I'm view of the fact that we have
not been advised to the contrary, we
assume that any rule designed to pro
hibit communication between indi-
vidual delegates and the press on sub
jects of the conference has now been
abrogated and that the press is to have
access to the verbatim records of pro
ceedings
"Ne call the attention of the peace
conference to our request for not
fewer than five direct press represont-
atives at each session of the confer
ence and we submit that because Of
the manner in which the several press
associations serve the newspapers of
America and because of the attendance
upon the conference of numerous in
dlTldual press representatives, the
American newspapers cannot carry on
their business of informing their vast
public with fewer than FIVE representa-
