There IL fair ground for guess
that President Harding ana Sccro-
tary Hughes have somewhat
changed their minds In the last few
weeks on the subject OF dealing with
European diplomats.
The latter viii explain that their
methods are made necessary hy the
democratic system under which
they work There are always two
conflicting viewpoints To- reconcile.
Their own principles and convictions
and the wishes of parliament and
people modified by the press and
self-seekinH groups in opposition 20
tho governmC~t, Ia other words,
they must get on with what thoy
think is right and at the same time
keep the public sufficiently fooled.
Otherwise under the European sva-
tenn, which dlsmissos "A government

mont's parliamentary support In the
minority, tho government win cease

II may be different at Washing
ton In November, because America
can develop more real public opin-
ion than any other country. Her
press Is freer from Interior motives
and moro cnterprisinE, and the
people are batter educated more in
telligcnt and have more snap and
push when they get Interested. They
are not apt TO become Interested,
however. unless those bars 20 pub
lloity usually In Europe considered
indlsponsa are removed and the
public Is taken fully into tho CON
fidence Of tho negotiators.
The arguments against publicity
are, familiar. They prevailed at
Paris The result was that the pco-
pie Of America were called upon
TO give approval to a treaty they
knew nothing about, but had to ac-
cept tho word Of one side or an
other, A "pig In tho poke" Ii

But II IL not the intention to lay
the responsibility at the door Of
either of the two great European
politicians whom Il is desired I'm this
article 20 sketch and TO contrast
with each other-Mr. Lloyd George
ana NJ. BRAND.
These two men are especially In

It is because they know that the di-
rect road is unsafe.
Since BRAND became primo minis
ter France and England have had
continual friction, but II almost any
other man had been president of IN,

been greater. BRAND and Lloyd
George fight for their respective
viewpoints, but after office hours

French government have made him

be animated for months.
