BEVERIDGE IN FAVOR OF OPEN ARMS PARLEY Demands Widest Publicity for Washington Conference on Disarmament. Special to Tlio Times. WARSAW, Ind., Nov. 12.—Publicity for the disarmament conference was demanded by Albert J. Beveridge in an Armlstiee day address hero last night. “If any success is to result from this adventure in conciliation, past experience would seem to demonstrate that one condition is vital and indispensible; that condition is publicity," Mr. Beveridge said. “The proceedings of the conference must be open, above board and in plain sight of day, and not hidden furtive, censored or restricted. "The argument for secrecy in such international parleys are as ancient and familiar as they have proved futile, injurious and sometimes wicked.’’ said Mr. Beveridge. “Persuasive as are the reasons for star chamber methods in such gatherings, the reasons against such concealment and in favor of free and full publicity are much more weighty—indeed, are overwhelming. CONDEMNS METHOD.! USED AT VERSAILLES. “The methods of the so-called peace conference at Versailles, whieb brought forth an arrangement now bitterly denounced by such a ripe and disinterested statesman as Lord Bryce of England, the methods of the congress of Vienna, the product of whieb was until recently considered the climax of infamy, but which publicists like Lord Bryce now declare to have been better than the economic, social and political mutilation of Europe—and of China, too—done behind locked doors at Versailles; apd, indeed, almost everjV instance of similar underground methods throughout history, are enough and more than enough to condemn the adoption of identical procedure at this conference. s

"Moreover, the work of this conference is the business of the people and not the exclusive concern of diplomats : who are not chosen by the people and 'are not responsible to the ped|de, but, instead, are appointed by temporary or i permanent heads of foreign governments. ; It is the people <!f our own and other • countries who will be effected by what this conference doe*; it is the people who i must pay the taxes; it is the people whose well-being and, indeed, whose very lives are Involved. Why then should not the people be told from day to day Just what these appointed representatives of various temporary end permanent administrations of our own aud other governments are doing? "If bargains, deals and arrangements, so beloved of and habitual to old time diplomacy, are to be made at this conference, why should not the American people, whose present prosperity and future destiny are concerned, be Informed while such things are being manufactured? CITES EARLY SECRET SESSIONS OF SENATE. "For many'years, after our Government was established under the constitution, the doors of the Senate were never opened and all proceedings were secret: when it was proposed to do away with that stupid pra- iice, the advocates of that abti-publlc method, defended it by precisely the same arguments now advanced in behalf of secrecy in the proceedings of the present conference. “So the debate Is ns old ns free institutions. We still have, theoretically, secret meetings of the Senate called ‘executive sessions;’ but what is said and done at these ’executive sessions’ Is always given to the press. Moreover, the secrecy of these ‘executive sessions’ Is an anarchonism and will not be continued much longer, even in theory or as a formality. “In demanding and requiring that the sessions of this conference shall be open, above board and in the full light of day, the American people are not only doing their duty to themselves and their children and their children’s children; they are also conferring an inestimable privilege on the peoples of other countrle* who never before have been allowed to know their rulers were doing when gathered about such international diplomatic council tallies. The inevitable result always has bean that these peoples, when such congresses or councils or conferences were over, frunrt them-elves bound by decrees which they either had to accept or resist forcibly—as they row are doing in various parts of every continent on earth except our own.” ARMADA GUN'S FOUND SWANSEA, Wales. Nov. 12—Four old muzzlel.iad-rs . found off the Welsh coast have been identified n belonging to one of the Spanish Armada galleoni; defeated in 15SS.
