The usual; channel? of information through which ! news of America's relationships to: foreign powers have up to nowi reached the public were closed today' by Secretary Lansing. An order bearing his name was | distributed broadcast to state depart- 1 ment otticials instructing them not to j talk with newspapermen "even on In-; significant matters of fact or detail." Henceforth under the order, the press, will not be able to discuss the back- j ground of complicated international j questions with the experts at the head' of each bureau. The order says that hereafter all; news of the department must be given out either by the secretary himself, or by the newly created so-called bureau of foreign intelligence. Secretary | Lansing sees the newspapermen twice! daily, but does not pretend to be able; to answer the maze of questions which every hour of the day Is raised by, newspaper cables. The meetings are becoming more and more perfunctory. The bureau of foreign intelligence is about a month old and is charged ! not only with the press but with sup-; plying news to all American missions: abroad. Usually very much behind i the press cables because of the need i of coding and decoding, the bureau! at the same time, because of its rela-i live lack of authority, confines itself j mostly to formal statements on news i facts and does not attempt to provide the background which gives interna-' kional news its real value, i Consequently from now on. If to- 1 day's order remains Ln effect, the I public will receive from the state j department only such perfunctory news as the bureau gives out and such fragmentary explanations as Secre tary Lansing himself finds time for jln the crush of other work. i The bureau chiefs handling news of the far east, near east or western Europe will not be able to give the I public the benefit of their expert [knowledge and intimate familiarity of {their specialized situations.
