1--WE feel that Mr.. Hearst
showed good American nerve in
this matter Of his publication of
the secret treaty which the
French were trying to negotiate
with the EngliSh-and the men
associated with me on the COM
mittee which sent the invitation
feel as do that here i'm Cali
mia, his native State, it is es-
pecially fitting that we should
do Mr.. Hearst honor upon his
homecoming.
Plans For Banquet
The banquet will be a huge
success. This community has
been intensely interested and
has approved strongly Of Mr..
HearSt'S conduct in publishing
the secret treaty and Of his clear
and convincing exposition Of
that incident in his public state
ments since the French govern
ment ordered him from France.
''Mr. Hearst believes in lay
ing the cards face up on the 4
table, for all to see, and that is
good American doctrine.

generous in their benefactions
