LODGE TO OPPOSE
PUBLICITY PLANS
Massachusetts, Senator Favors
Suppression of News at
Disarm Conference.

WASHINGTON. Aug. "a be-
lief on the part Of the administration
that this government should not in
sist on open sessions at the disarma-
ment congress became manifest
Tuesday both in congress and among
high administration officials.
In the senate the question fur
nished the theme for colorful de-
bate, during which Sen. Lodge. the
republican leader. who has been Sc
lected as a delegate 10 the confer
ence, led a fight against senate ac-
ton 20 pledge the American repre-
sentatives to demand that the as
sembled powers sit with open doors.
Governments Plan.
At the same time. among Amer
lean officials it was outlined as a def
mite purpose of the government TO
refrain from determined objection 10
secret sessions. Not only was Il in
indicated as the belief here that
delicate subjects could not be profit
ably discussed in the open. but il was
suggested that to insist on such a
course might meet with such strong
opposition from abroad as TO wreck
the whole program of the confer
ence.
Confirming reports from Berlin
that the treaty negotiations with
Germany are'being conducted secret
" at the request of the United States.
high officials emphasized il as a con-
viction of this government that dip
lomatic conversations cannot develop
a frank exchange and cannot be OBJ
tanned If full publicity is given.
A similar attitude was taken in the
senate debate by Sen. Lodge. who
has been in frequent conference with
Pres't Harding since his selection as
a delegate. Although declaring that
the largest publicity compatible
with the public interest" should
characterize the conference, the re
publican leader asserted il was
wholly Impossible and imprac-
tible" to conduct negotiations en-
tirely in the full view of the public.
