“PITILESS PUBLICITY” AGAIN.

It will be recalled that in the campaign preceding his first term as president, Mr. Woodrow Wilson declared in favor of an administration policy of “pitiless publicity.” The public had reason, in view of this positive declaration, to expect that government business would be transacted in such a way that all the people might know what was being done and why it was done. It was naturally assumed that he would take the public into his confidence. As every one knows, nothing of the kind happened. On the contrary, no administration in the history of the country has been as secretive as Mr. Wilson’s. The public has been permitted to know and understand only those proceedings and purposes of the government that could not possibly be concealed from it. The utmost mystery '’was from the very beginning thrown about our policy toward Mexico, and our diplomatic transactions with that country. No one outside oi the inner govemmbnt circles knew at the time, or has ever known from official quarters what our relations and understandings with the ruling powers of Mexico have been. Nothing definite is to be guessed at now in regard to the policy to be pursued in the existing controversy with Carranza.

Needless secrecy in regard to our part in the European war was enforced, not only through censorship but through department orders, and was continued long after the enemy was powerless. The country had little information as I to what the peace conference was doing or proposed to do. It expected a peace treaty; it did not expect a league of nations until the treaty had been signed and sealed. Secrecy has been the rule in matters great and small in the government for six years and the attitude of certain departments toward the public has been that of the late Mr. Vander--1 bilt. Only the other day, Secretary i Wilson of the department of labor i refused to give a congressional com- ' mittee the result of its investigation into Ellis Island scandals relaj tive to convicted anarchists bn the ground that publicity in the case was not desirable. This country has in a way grown ' accustomed to the mystery cast by ■ the administration about its own transactions, but now comes an article from President Wilson’s peri in the New York Independent in which he amplifies his former assertion as to the importance of publicity. In the course of this article he says: “Autocratic governments of the past have lived by concealment; free governments must live by understanding. In the new day that is dawning only these governments that have no secrets from their peoples can long endure. I do not say that such a government will make no mistakes, but I do say mistakes will be fewer and more easily corrected when all governments are guided by well-informed public opinion. * ♦ ♦ We can know if change is desirable only by knowing all the facts about the thing we wish to alter. The journals that give the facts about government, its policies and activities, set down by the men principally responsible for them, will perform a public service. They will afford a medium through which the government can report continuously to the people.” • The mystery seems to thicken, for notwithstanding this new pronouncement by the head of the administration and his seeming desire for the public to know “all,” there is no indication of any change of policy in actual operation. There is no sign that the government is

preparing to “report to the people.” It is a case in which theory does not agree with fact and in which some doubt exists as to whether two and two make four.—lndianapolis Star.

WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 16. The controversy between the U. S. and Great Britain over the AngloPersian treaty has led to /m exchange of notes in which Lord Curzon, British foreign minister, points out the contiguity of Persia to India, draws an analogy between the convention of the relationship between the United States and Liberia, reminds the secretary of state that it was the desire ofetfee United States, to which Great Britain gave approval and consent, that the case s os Liberia should not be referred to the league of nations, and further asserts that both CoL House and Ambassador Davis were advised in regard to the treaty, the former on the assumption that he would advise this government, while Mr. Davis expressed approval of it. — o— Wilson is keeping his own counsel on what he proposes to recommend to congress with respect to the future of the railroads. —o — Revolt in the democratic ranks against President Wilson’s uncompromising attitude towards reservations on the peace treaty gained ground today. Senator Underwood, of Alabama, candidate for the democratic leadership, came out on a platform of “peace at any price,” and expressed willingness to sidetrack the league of nations entirely if necessary to obtain peace. — o — Warren C. Harding, of Ohio, in an open letter, formally announced his candidacy for the republican nomination for the presidency in 1920. —o — New evidence of the lack of team work between President Wilson and his state department over the Mexican situation came to light today when Senator Fall, of New Mexico, made public a partial report of the Mexican subcommittee' of the senate foreign relations committee. —o — Charges that the war department permitted excessive payments to be made to numerous war contractors in settlement of claims were made in the ghouse of representatives by Representative Graham, of Illinois, chairman of the war investigating committee.

REFUSED TO EAT “LIVE” CIGARETTE.

New York, Dec. 15.—Testimony that he had disobeyed an order from Captain, Karl W. Detzer to swallow a lighted cigarette was given ■ today by Private Marcello Gonzales, of San Antonio, Texas, at the court martial on Governors’ Island of Captain Detzer, charged with bnitality to prisoners in criminal investigation headquarters at Le Mans. The charge that- Gonzales had been compelled to eat the cigarette was one of the most sensational of the twenty-eight specifications facing the officer, who as commander of the 308th military police company, had charge of investigation work in the entire troop area. A previous witness had testified to hearing the order given, but said he did not see what became of the cigarette, as he had left the room. Gonzales stated that despite the order he had flung the “butt” to the floor of the guard house.
