document I'm his address to the conference
he mado no mention whatever OF tho fact
that II WAS designed to protect the whole OF
the insular empire, although every member
OF the conference knew this to be the case
Secretary Hughes, upon the same occasion
, asserted with emphasis that nothing what
ever concerning that compact had been con-
cealed
1t Is Il matter OF record. however, that
the Americans did conceal the full extent OF
the treaty and concealed it for almost
week. Also, II is Il matter of record that
! the British delegation Informed British
journalists OF the scope Of that document;
that these journalists cabled the informa-
ton to their papers in London and else
where. and 1t WAS not until the news had
Travelled back to the United States and spe-
cifc inquiries had been made as to its truth
that Secretary Hughes confirmed the inter
probation given the measure by British rep
rcSentatives
Nor Is this an isolated case, from all re-
ports. On the contrary it is more or less
typical Of the whole conference proceed
ings. The American newspaper CORE
spondenis have been complaining for weeks
that ii was necessary for them to get quick
and accurate information regarding tho con-
ference from their foreign colleagues or di-
rect from foreign delegates
The American delegates may not feel that
their attitude toward the press OF their own
country is n matter OF particular Importance
or that there is any just criticism Of the pro-
cesses OF their secret diplomacy but this
group OF statesmen doubtless will find
more hostile Senate in their path than
would have been the case If more candor
had been the rule

as their administration Is involved. But

ing Legislature with the Attorney G eneral 8
Office with him It's titular head, the spe-
cial enforcement division will be saved. The
suggested abolition, then, is not in fact an
EFFORT to get rid Of the department, but a
move TO save 1t even If its submersion be
necessary.
Another phase is interesting. Under the

measure of anxiety. Virginia has suffered

n manner to which it has no heart to be
subjected again. Virginia wants a rigid en-
torcement of the law, whether it be by a
separate department or under the SUPER

ties as vital blow to employees. in
the face OF present prices of the

and declared that IL the traction
company was unable to maintain
