THE LEAK SCANDAL
HOMAS AV. LAWSON' lms made im astounding cxhi-
T
in-obin the alleged leak in the news concerning the presi
dent's peace note, whereby certain speculators were
alleged to have been able to make fortunes through ad
vance information concerning the leak.
With no other apparent source of information than
tittle-tattle capitol and wall street gossip, and without
any sort of proof, he lias publicly besmirched and libelled
two members of the cabinet. Secretaries Lansing and Me-1
Adoo, Presidential Secretary Tumulty. Ambassador Bern-'
siorfi', Chairman Warburg of the federal reserve bank,
public officials and members of congress generally, as well
as relatives of the president, brokers and newspaper men.
Pressed for proof: of any of his charges, he brazenly
declares them all based upon hearsay, something anony
mously told to .Jones, who told it to Smith, who told it ito
the credulous Lawson, and upon this flimsy foundation he
rears an amazing structure of slanderous fiction. An in
stance is the unwarranted drawing in of the name of the
secretary of slate.
Lawson declares that, Congressman Henry told him
that Secretary Lansing had four conferences with Bern
ard Baruch, a stock broker who profited by the slum) in
Wall street slocks, at the Biltmore hotel.
Congressman Henry bluntly declares Lawson a liar
and denies having made the statements alleged.
Secretary Lansing's authorized statement is as follows:
"While I dislike very much to dignify by denial false and malicious
scandal, at the fame time the publicity which has been Riven to some of
the reports, warrant me in saving ill regard to the statements that 1
breakfasted several times with .Mr. Hnruch at :h, lllltirore hotel, Imply
ing, 1 assume, that I gave him advance information concerning the note
to the belligerents. I i;ever to uiv knowledge saw Mr. Humeri at any time.
I do not know him and nev.-r hail any conversations with him and J have
been out of Wnsniugtiu only once since election and that wai to attend
tho Army and Navy gat..i in Ncw'Vorlc November 2!."
Denials of the other accused statesmen are equally as
emphatic anil sweeping.
Lawson in his "frenzied finance," which should have
been entitled the "pot calling the kettle black," and his
"remedy," whereby he capitalized the advertising he
secured to fleece thousands of victims who followed him,
proved himself a monumental fakir, with Barnum prodiv
it ics for the limelight.
The "leak" probe has been a disgraceful proceeding.
Lawson has defied and bullied the investigators and tlie
affair can scarcely be said to dignify congress or increase
public respect for it. Now that it: is under way, however, it
should be thorough and sweeping. If we have any faith
less officials, they should be driven from office." f his
charges arc not proven, Lawson and other scandalmongers
should be properly punished for libel.

LEAGUEOF NATIONS
10 ENFORCE PEACE
IE0,
LOXDW.V, Jan. 1 S. ConiinenUng
on the note of I'oreiun bei retary nai-
four supplementary to the entente re
ply to I'resident Wilson, the Man
chester Guardian says:
The most notable words in Mr.
Ualfour's.dispati-h are those in which
he speaks ot the American proposal
lor a leiiKiie of nations. The war has
shown that no international law is of
the least avail as a protection against
a power unscrupulous enoiiKh to dis-
rcKiird it and .strong enough to de
spise the condemnation of neutrals."
The. newspaper expresses the belief
that there must be force behind in
ternational law and thinks this Is
contemplated in the American propo
sal of a leim'ue to enforce peace.
"Hut what is necessary in discuss
ing the matter with Americans,''
says the Guardian, "is that we should
make them realize that the whole
thing were breath and words unless
they, along with the rest of us, are
prepared in the end to put force into
execution. The league must exam
ine, discuss and find methods of
adiustiiiK national difficulties and
not merely maintain order, but facili
talo progress. The idea is a great
one and Willi Mr. Ualfour's note, it
has made one further step towards
general acceptance."
BRIEFS FILED IN

WASHINGTON', Jan. IS. In the

Substitution of an eight-hour day
standard for the present 100 miles in

railroads' new brief contends, would
