THE DAMAGE DONE BY SECRECY, The folly of unnecessary and untimely secrecy in con-1 nection with the peace treaty ought to be fully borne home to the administration by the events of the last few days. The people of the United States were and are entitled to know every word of the proposal or command handed to the German representatives at Versailles. The failure to place before the people the text of the docu ment which so vitally concerns them cannot now be ex plained away by any satisfactory excuse, apology or plea. Much stress is laid upon the statement that President Wilson had bound himself to keep the treaty secret from the American people because the allied delegates wished to keep it scret from their people. There is no mrit in this argument if there is any virtue in President Wilson s first peace point, which, being first, was undoubtedly re- . . t. 14 garded by him as the cardinal principle upon ne wuuiu act in joining the allies in making peace. He insisted upon the abolition of secret bargains affecting nations, and the allies agreed to the principle. If they asked Mr. Wilson to violate his first principle, he was at liberty to refuse their request. His refusal would have forced the allied premiers to come out into the open with their peonies. Then the whole free world could have judged for itself the work of its servants at Paris. If good, the work would have been approved. If bad, it would have been disapproved. Backed by the world approval the treaty would have forced itself upon the enemy. If the treaty had been disapproved, it could have been amended to meet the peoples' approval and then forced upon the enemy, There was a good reason for secrecy in the process of bringing the allies together on the treaty terms, would have been unwise to hold open sessions of the conference of the allies, because proposals put forward tentatively would have become known to the enemy, who would have had an opportunity to take secret means of ihwartin the allies. After the allies had agreed, how ever, and had actually handed their fixed terms to th enemy, it was the height of folly to conceal the terms from allied peoples, The injury was immediately manifested. The leaders of the peace conference were subjected to all sorts of wsoicions. as a result of rumors which would not have been born if the truth had been placed before the peo pies. Mr. Wilson, the chief figure at the Paris confer ence, became the principal target of criticism, and from that hour his prestige has been impaired both at home and abroad. The nations await with deep anxiety the information that has been withheld from them concern ing their own fate. They are skeptical and inclined to put a bad construction on matters which, if published freely and freely explained, might have been acceptable. The enemy noticed this growing breach between the nations and their servants at Paris and made the best of the situation. The Germans were presented with an enormous advantage over the allied spokesmen, for the Germans could publish freely in Germany and allied countries any observations they pleased regarding any part of the treaty, while the allied spokesmen had fool ishly bound themselves to remain dumb before their own peoples. Thus the Germans exposed such parts of the . . . . .. . . it., t... i. treaty as served their purpose, wniie Keepings me u..iv- xround. These nations thus obtained their first impres sions of the treaty from enemy sources, with an enemy interpretation. It is astounding that keen-witted men '.ike President Wilson, Mr. Lloyd George and M. Clemen eeau should have aided the enemy in this most delicate ind important matter of publicity, which sways the minds 3f millions and thereby helps to mold the will of the world Presumably the object in concealing the peace treaty was to prevent the presentation of objections which might nave forced the conference to make important changes And which in any event would have caused delay. This plan, however, presupposed the power of the Paris dele gates to compel the allied nations to accept the treaty is, drawn, whether they approved it or not. Now, Euro pean nations can do as they please, but the American delegation at Paris knows very well that the United States cannot be compelled to accept a treaty that is objectionable. The more a treaty is shrouded in mystery the greater is the curiosity regarding it, and the more determined the people and the Senate will be to scrutinize it By no possible method can a treaty be kept secret i'roffi the Senate, for it is not a treaty until the Senate las consented to iU ratification. The treaty of Paris is not yet a treaty so far as the United States is con cerned, but a draft subject to amendment, rejection oi approval by the Senate. If it was the hope of the Americans concerned in the legotiation of the Paris treaty that the chances of Senate ipproval would be improved by withholding the treaty from the American people, they know better. The meth ods of secret diplomacy which have marked the negotia tion and concealment of the Paris treaty have created a widespread conviction in the United States that there u something in the treaty which cannot withstand the clear inalvsis of American public opinion. Of course, the treaty stands no chance of approval unless this convic tion is removed and the document itself found to be in accordance with true American principles, notwithstand ing its clandestine origin.
