WHY NOT?

ISN'T 10 about time for the State Department to abandon
the principle OF secret diplomacy and conceament OF
facts that characterized the operations Of diplomacy
in the past2
Why can't the State Department trust the American
people with facsg Why is It necessary for instance for
the American public 70 get its FIRST authentic information
Of the latest official peace offer made by the Soviet gov
ernment by way Of Berlin dispatch from newspaper
man
Does the State Department fear that the American
public is so weak-mnded feeble and uninelgent that
cannot be trusted to read the outgyngs OF other
sovernmentY Doesn't the state Department know that
the war Is oyerg That the time for propaganda conceal
ment devlousness darkness obscuransm and pretense
IS pastY Doesn't II that the American people have
taken seriously the promise made by President Wilson
that negotiations shall hereafter be conducted In the
open?
why should any bunch OF administrative officers have
the power to say what the American people shall know
and what they shall not know about their own affairs
The American people are quito capable Of judging the
motives and the desires OF the Russian government any
other government.
What America and the world needs now IS the fullest
possible knowledge Of every diplomatic move on the
chessboard OF the world.
What 1t needs the glare Of the spotlight on every
proposal by any government under the sun-whether il
relates TO the Adratic. to Constantnope or TO peace
with Soviet Russia
America is capable OF Judging and weighing for itself
open dlpomacy-open covenants openly arrived at
must mean exactly what the words indicate.

BECAUSE 1T is RIGHT.

n oyERNoR TOWNSEND says he IS confident the
" Delaware legislature win ratify the Federal Suffrage
amendment
It should do So and that TOO. without undue delay.
Thirix-four States already baye ratified It.
only two more States are needed to make It fully
efective.
Delaware should be one OF those States
It should strive 70 act ahead Of the State Of Washing
ton the Legislature OF which also win meet in special
session March p.
Results other States show conoluslyely that Amer-
sentiment is Overwhelmingly in favor OF the political
emancipation Of American women
That sentiment is strong in Delaware
Il win be well for members Of the Legislature to heed
IT, merely matter Of political expediency but also
a matter Of right and justice.
Regardless Of what Delaware may do the amendment
viii be ratified and the women Of our State win vote.
10 would be manifesily wrong, however, for the mem
aers Of the Legislature Of s State TO leave Il to the
members OF the Legislatures Of other States 70 confer the
elective franchise upon Delaware women.
Governor Townsend said: "The women Of Delaware
should have the vote because it Is right"
BY the same token. the members Of the Legislature
should give &c to them because Il Is right
Republican members OF the Legislature should be
especially active in passng through the two houses The
legislation that needed to put Delaware side by side

THE SPECIAL SESSION
lFrom the Georgetown Sussex Republican,

Governor Townsend has called the
General Assembly 10 meet in special
session On March %, to consider the
Equal Suffrage Amendment; tho mp
pOrtiOnment OF a greater amount from
The state treasury FOR school purposes
and TO authorize the city OF Whining
ton to borrow an additional amount 20
build a new bridgc.
The latter measure largely concerns
only the city OF Wilmington, but the
ilrst two mentioned are Of Statewide
Significance. Thirty-four States have
already adopted the Equal Suffrage
Amendment. Only two more are needed
to make the thirty-six States, Tie num-
Der Of States necessary 10 make This
amendment part Of the Federal Con-
stiiuliOn. The Legislature OF the State
Of Washington. a suffrage state, VIII
ratify, and Delaware may have the
honor OF being the necessary thirty
sixth State.
The Delaware Legislature is Republl-
can. The Republican party, nalion-
ally, favOrs equal suffrage. The ma
tlOnal committee and it's chairman
have worked continuously and untir-
ingly in behalf of the amendment and
the Republican States have mostly ratl-
iled and IL is now up 10 the Delaware
Legislature TO do the same thing.
Delaware's vote made the Declaration
OF Independence possible. Delaware was
the first state 10 adopt the Federal
Constitution. and Delaware has glOried
IN these patriotic acts OF its fathers
ever since While we may not ap-
preciate II now, another great oppor-
tunity Is presented TO the State 10 add

tunity? We think not VIII the Re
publicans Of Delaware be less courage

their fellow Republicans Of other
States. We believe not.
Many Of our best women ask it:
they demand II as their right; they are
well qualified; they deserve IL. Give
tnen the right 10 vote. The ones who

! from an additional burden Of taxation
/ for the maintenance Of our schools is
an excellent solution OF a difllcult prob
lem. That our schools need more money
no one Will deney. All parents want
their children 10 have the best school
advantages 10 is their due, but under
the anilquaied tax laws OF the state
Of Delaware real estate bears most OF
the burden OF county expenses, except
Z the State Is helping in permanent road
building.
/ This paper for years has been de-
manding a change In our tax laws. We
have told our readers what real estate
would be up against unless these laws
were changed. When the assessment
! for school purposes was changed from
rental value OF real estate 10 It's real
value, this paper opposed IL, but the
partisans blindly followed their lead
crs. Now they are reaping what they
have sown. and they should be manly
enough to admit II, and not try and
put the blame on somebody else.
The schools must have more money.
The state or the county must pay IL.
Under existing laws the States income
IS such that it Is more able to do SO
than the county. Let the State do it,.
n the State needs more money, change
the income tax law, increase the in
come tax rate. and let the wealth Of the
state, and there is plenty Of 1t in the
State, pay the additional expense OF bet
ter schools, and relieve real estate OF
that burden. The School Code is not
what's wrong although il needs
amending, but the tax laws OF the
State is the trouble. Don't go tinker
ing with the motor when the trouble
is in the gasoline tank.
This special session is one of great
importance. The duty devolving upon
the members Of the Legislature is a
grave one. They should meet IL with
the consideration and dignity that Is
due the Importance OF the legislation
before them Any effort to intimidate
the members is an insult 10 their in
telllgence and the honorable office they
hold.
The Legislature has its committees,
and these committees and the Legisla-
ture in body assembled can give or
derby and sufficient hearings 10 every
cause, and they should do so. Proceed
in an orderly manner as beflts legisla-
tive bodies. with reason and intelli-
gence.

WANT CARL MAYS
BARRED FROM BASEBALL
Boston and Detroit Players Claim the
New York Pitcher, Whose Throw
Fractured Chapman's Skull,
Tries to "Dust Them Off,"

Boston, Aug. II. Players of the De-
troit and Boston clubs of the American
league to-day prepared to draw up
petition asking for the banishment
from organized baseball of Carl Mays
OF the New York Americans, whose
pitched ball fractured the skull of Ray
Chapman, Cleveland short stop, in yes
terday's game. Probability that the
members of both teams would refuse
to play in any game in which Mays
was the pitcher, was expressed by some
OF the players.
The Red Sox team held meeting in
the clubhouse, after yesterdays game,
when word was received of Chapman
injury 1t was agreed, according to
Outfelder Menoskey, that all would
sign petition to President Johnson Of
the league to have Mays ruled out OF
the game, if Chapman should die, and
that the players would not go to bat
against his pitching again, With news
of his death this morning, the players
expressed their sorrow and then dis
cussed the carrying out Of the plan for
a petition
'Stuffy" McInnis, Red Sox first base
man. hurried from his seaside home at
Manchester to be at the clubhouse
early, to call a meeting of the players
to act on Chapman's death.
Members of the Boston club, who
were teammates of Mays until the lat
ter deserted the club prior to his sale
10, New York last year, said they felt
certain the Detroit players would JON
in such action as might be decided on
"Ty" Cobb, the Detroit star, asserted
| that summary measures should ot
taken Immediately Oscar Stanage, yet
eran catcher Of the Tigers, said the
PLAYERS had already discussed action.
Mavs has been storm center OF
| baseball controversy for years, first
because of his close pitching as a re
suit OF which players frequently com
planned that he had tried to dust then
of" and later when the deal between
the Boston and New York clubs, by
which he was transferred after he de
serted the Red Sox, preeipitated a fac
tional fight among club owners an'
President Johnson, which threatened
TO disrupt the league.
