Editor and Publisher,” a trade paper published for newspapermen, has asked our views concerning publicity in connection with the forthcoming disarmament confer- ence. Do we favor open sessions? it asks. We do. And we know of no reasons of state that prevent our saying publicly why ‘We oppose secrecy. Wilson’s one great safeguard at Paris, in the beginning, was publicity. His hopes and his purposes were worn down and whittled away steadily from January to June until he came thru finally with what his friends regard as about a fifty per cent achieve- ment. This process of attrition took place in secrets It could not have taken place in public. Once he had entered the gentleman’s agreement to keep the confidence of the others, Wilson began steadily to lose ground. Being a gentleman he had to keep faith. A complete report of any one of several days’ secret proceedings would have wrecked the plans of the spoils dividers, but such a report was not possible after the agree- ment had been made. Public opinion is directly responsible for the coming conference. Harding and Hughes deserve the completest commendation for responding to public opinion as they have done. But just as they did not originate the conference, they cannot complete # suc- cessfully without public opinion. Unless the conference is so open that there can be no opportunity for misleading the . American people regarding developments as they now occur, this country will witness the greatest anti-disarmament propaganda imaginable, disguised as news of the can- ference. Members of the conference will be kept busy denying statements intended to defeat And denials scldom overtake misleading information in the object of their meeting. time to undo the damage done. Harding and Hughes need publicity for their own safety and it is to be hoped they gealize this at the outset, not after it is too late, as was the case with Wilson, Before You Give Your Money If you have decided to respond whe have labeled them elves Communists, overlooking ihe fact that human beings are i i 1 é i if itt 3 E pa All j their will. Isn't it about t we gave recognition ence again to our own doctrine: “Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed,” as our Declaration of Independence puts doesn't mean that we should sub- scribe to the Soviet theory; The Star has expressed its disbelief in that theory time and again. But the Russian people seem deter- mined to ify it out and they won't quit trying until they've had @ chance to try it fairly. They haven’t had that yet. We don't believe in kings, either, but when Greece tried something approximating the American form and then threw it gzut in favor of King Constantine, we didn’t break off relations. The United State and the rest of the world will be better off when it is decided to accept the Russian government as a fact so ‘ong as the Russian people do, 1 E It has gotten warm enough for Makimos to bathe.

The Bath a “Best Seller” “Everybody wants a room with bath,” complains a New York hotel man, for people to pay if a private bath goes with the room. But we can't fix the rates low enough on rooms without, to keep them filled.” And yet onty a couple of gen erations ago there wasn't a bath tub, In the modern sense, in the United States, The first bath was Installed tn Cincinnati in 1842 and the man who installed it was considered “queer.” Boston in 165 passed an ordinance making bathing in tub unlawful, except on medical advice, When many 6 man steps into his car he ts getting into debt. We Love Misgovernment Ask the average person, who reads the newspapers, to name the worst mayor New York city ever had and it's pretty certain he will name Mylan, the present mayor. a And yet the betting odds in New York are 2 1-2 to 1 that Hy lan will be elected to succeed him self this fall, Hylan in New York and Thomp- son in Chicago furnish pretty convincing evidence that the pro- ple of the two greatest American cities enjoy being misgoverned.
