Th0 President Is reported to have
refused to authorize publication of
the text of the treaty with France,
on tho ground that is was properly
to be regarded as confldontial until
It had been, laid bcfor0 tho .Senate
and that body had Itself removed tho
injunction of secrecy, Bays Harvey'a
Wookly. That was, of course, the
old-tlmo rule, but we had scarcely
expected to find It reoked and upheld
bV tho Qlltlinr nf thflt rognll rwl.ln.,
glittering generality about "open
i-uviMiiwiiH openly arrived at.
iHcsldes tho President hlinsnlf re
venlod after denying Iho exist
ence or an en treaty, and Its general
purport, wun sucii (iiscioHiire al
roady made, why maintain the flr-
" " w:recyr we snouiu say that
the Htatemnnt whlh iho o....ui.i....
himself made about It was one of
me strongest posslblo reasons for
maning ino rompioto text known, In
order that thero mlilit be no nils
nprelienslons nbout It, such as might
rise from merely partial knowledge

the President thus to dlscloso mero-
ty nuii'i'ii'u portions or treaties for
, publication, while keeping or trying
to koop the Instruments as a whole
profoundly secret. He has done II
before, notably in the case of tho
treaty of peace. Ho gave out for
publication the literal and complete
text of one long chapter of that In
strument, and Insisted that the res)
of It should be kept under tho seal
of secrecy.
Why? Was It because lie wanted
to conduct a propaganda 'In favor
of the Covenant of the League, that
he thus blazoned It to the world in
advance of tho rest? If courtesy
ronuired that this French tronty be
"i voiiiiuoiiiiiii until it was given
to the Hennlo and that bodv saw n t
to publish II, why did It not require
similar treatment of the Covenant
Wo are ourselves sulnclenlly old
fashioned to recognize the dcsirnbl
Ity, In many canes, of withholding
treaties from publicity until they an
completely made which means, or
course, ratiried by the Senate as well
as negotiated by tho President. Hut
WO trilHt I ll II t It flm.n n,,t i-nn.,a

ino neeu oi consistency and courlesv
In the matter.
There are said to bB only 22 dif

In various parts of (lie world right
now. We presume the peace con

machinery In motion, to iiielch those
