In addition, The Star will resort to every legitimate means of newspaperdom for procuring all the news of that conference without regard of what that conference thinks the public should have or should not have in the way of such news. World diplomats have done too much questionable work “under the hat.” Star proposes to do its little mightiest to lift the hat and let the folks who pay for armaments and conferences see what is going on. There is no wartime or other legislation to prohibit our telling the public the truth, - the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and it’s about time that the American | public had all the truth, in the raw, about diplomatic dickerings.
