And as we opened our mouths and placed
dripping gloed fingers to ears tho lieu

With tho fl.it.lt and the following bang, ho

at Making a iivNed statement of war alms
and at publishing anv sectet war treaties
was hinted In authoiltnthe ipjartera todav.
This, however, has not discouraged the
I'nlted States loivcniinent In Its desire to
have such a showdown, although tho Puis
Intel allied Conference may not deal with
the subject directly.
Press publication of Russian state docu
ments, showing si-eret diplomacy processes,
gave Impetus to Amcrb an hopes for a
frank statement. These dm umeiits revoalesl
that Russia was to havo her say In the
peace eoiincil as to alignment of the e-ast-eru
frontlet and Franc- was to be arbiter
on the western tror.t
The American po ltioii is that no n ..
nation should have the right to ill, tato all
with respou to l.ouwJ.uj lines on the jopj
front. Tho United States holds that tho
wur fchould continue only as long as to make,
democrncy safe; that Hoheiirollernlsin can
not run rampant over tho world at will
Whllo adjustment of territory Is a vital
point In giving freedom and safety to the
world, this (iovernruent feels that there
should bo no undue territorial grabbing,
no reiving of selfish amhltlomi. All the
Power u should ngren on how far the strug
gle, should routine tn rvo the single
aim of world democracy, the United States
holds.
The Russian rectet treaties thus far
havo reached hem only In paraphrased
press teporls. H Is exctcd, however, that
tho Naucti i!crmnn) "vlreless will seo to
It that the full tevts are spread broadcast.
Whether the I nltid States Intends to give
further publication to them Is unrevea'ed.
but it may use them as an argument for
baring secret dlplonmrv and letting the
people know where the snuggle leads.
