JOHNSON SAYS PARLEY MUST BE HELD OPEN Publicity Is Only Safeguard of the People, He Declares. SECRECY IS DANGEROUS WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Secrecy may spell failure for the forthcoming armament limitation conference, according to Senator Hiram Johnson, who declares in the following public statement "that open sessions and the fullest publicity should be demanded by all peoples as their only safeguard.” By HIRAM JOHNSON, Senator from California. The desideratum of the armament limitation conference Is the reduction of armaments, that the crushing burdens ot taxation may be lessened and that wars may be less likely. Every extraneous element introduced complicates the situation and makes accomplishment more difficult. Because this Is so obvious, many who look forward hopefully to a new world era, regret the Injection into the conference of the vexatious Far Eastern question. Whether the solution of the problems of the Far East Is a condition precedent to consideration of disarmament, we do not know, or do we know Just what is meant by the Far Eastern question. If general rules of international conduct in the Orient are to be prescribed, perhaps agreement may be reached without much difficulty. But the mere suggestion of Shantung and Manchuria, of the “opou door” and the Lansing-Ishil agreement with Us differing interpretations, of spheres of Influence in China, of Korea and Siberia, indicates the possibility of contention and ilelny, the almost Insuperable obstances which must be overcome before the real subject of the meeting even is reached. SECRECY MAY SI’ELL FAILURE. The sinister thing which may spell failure for the conference Is secrecy. Already an atmosphere is being created by the old familiar propaganda to taboo discussion and prevent free expression. It Is gravely asserted that frank expression of opinion In America concerning the matters of conseqnence which may come before the conference must not be Indulged In. that discussion be stilled, lest wo offend the delicate sensibilities of those from abroad. In the Senate we hnve been admonished that suggestions will be "futile bad manners.” In duo time, we are told, all matters will be arranged and there will be the "largest measure of publicity compatible with getting the business done.” (The “compatible measure of publicity,” will lie that some official will dole out In homeopathic doses to the people.l Open sessions are sneerlngly derided. We are pitying, ly and sorrowfully advised that treaties i annot be written with town meetings.

What memories these statements arouse. How familiar ttyey sound. How often we he&id them before the making of the Versailles treaty. And the wonderful and remarkable thing about them is that some of the newspapers and politicians and statesmen who most scathingly denounced the repudiation of “open covenants,” openly ’arrived at,” at Versailles in 1919, now are the stanchest defenders of secret agreements, secretly arrived, at, at Washington In 1921. Constancy and continuously until November there should be the frankest discussion of every phase of the conference. The people should demand open sessions and fullest publicity. "At the coming gathering, arrayed on the armament side, will be the most powerful of world's influences—militarism yet dominant in many countries, the greed of those who profit by war, all the evil lusts of imperial power. Against these, one mighty force alone can pre-

vail, a righteous public opinion. Secrecy will make futile this mighty force. With open sessions and full publicity, diplomacy’s hidden designs will succdmb to world public opinion. The men who meet in November are, after all, but mere trustees, trustees of hundreds of millions. The hundreds of millions are entitled to know what their few chosen agents contemplate and are doing. To invest these trustees with omnipotence and to endow them with an Inviolate sacro-sanet character is a reversion to what we had hoped the great war foreveT had destroyed. Dull, indeed, have Americans become, if no lesson has been learned in the past seven years. Hopeless Is the future if the same sinister forces can again. In da-kness, Juggle with the world’s fate. Full and frank discussion, open sessions, complete publicity and an enlightened and righteous public opinion will mark anew era.
