Silence"
Signing of the four-power treaty
"in private" in the ante room of
the office Of the secretary Of state,
today was due to a sudden and un-
explained reversal of the orders of
department officials. Before the
plenip otentiaries began to gather,
it was announced that the signing
would be public and additional
chairs were carried into the room.
Scarcely had the chairs been
placed than some one higher up"
ruled that the signing would be
private. The chairs were carried
out again.
In the dark corridor outside were
gathered a hundred or more cor
respondents and to this throng an
official announced that he would
furnish bulletins" After fifteen
minutes he opened the door a wee
crack and whispered:
Americans have signed"
There ensued race for tele-
phones.
IHtIo was tHo SdiIlc lluSsltu an
nouncement when the other groups
had signed and then another wait,
during which way was made by
the crowded correspondents for
girls to enter. They soon emerged
and 1t developed they were steno-
graphers. Then file of clerks
were admitted.
The promulgator of news "bul-
letins" again appeared and de-
scribed the signing as Every Nin-
formal" After a while the door
opened and the plenipotentiaries
emerged. Into the empty room the
press representatives at last were
invited to have a look at the treaty.
They inspected its bright red seals,
tried to decipher the signatures,
were shown the pens used, and then
departed.
