The comminqucs have thus far
been picparctl by the Trench alone.
The French Government controls the

communication to other countries.
Owing to the position taken by
the American Government the United
States censorship exercised, so far
as can bo judged from this side, it
not especially rigorous, but there
have been instances of dispatches
not politically agieeable to the

has acquiesced in tho gag rule.
Hii position is so strong that had
lie fought for publicity thcio is little
doubt that lie could hasc had
it. The gag rule springs from petty
squabbles, and from tho urespon&ibili-
ity of tho Pans press. Thoic has
been little publicity regarding tho
meeting so far. Covenants arc not
being openly arrived at, but appar
ently the French statesmen are tak
ing tho French press more into con
fidence than British ot' American
statesmen are doing in regard to
their press. Kvcry morning Trench
nesvspapcrs have published stones
moie or less circumstantial about
happenings in the conference. These
stories American ieprescntativc3
find full of inaccuracies.
One instance precipitated the pies
cnt situation. The Temp- announc
ed that the Americans ssrrc leaily
to send an army to Poland to fight
the Uolshoviks. The next morning
the commission denied this state
ment. The American denial, though
intended only for the Ameiican
press, was given by an American
journalist to the French Socialist
ness'spaper, l'Humumtp, which print
ed it as coming directly from Lans

exclusive statement by I.an.Mng, ap

gan, naturally ss-as cmbairassing,
particularly as it s-as used as the
basis of an attack on tho French
policy regarding Poland.
Under the rule pros ailing it is
now impossiblo to disclose just what
representations sverc made by tho
French to the American official dele
gates regarding this incident, but
the upshot was tho adoption of the
rule forbidding all publicity except
