LEAGUE NATIONS

NKW YORK. Feb. 20. (Hy Ass tt i
uted Press.) Plans fur better otthlicitv
are under consideration by the League
of Nations. The league's news bureau
today received from (Jenera a com
munique from the league's council em
bodying a memorandum regarding pub
licity prepared by Wilson Harris, l.on-
don newspaperman and president of
the International Association of Jour
nalists, accredited to the League of
Nations.
"It is necessary." the memorandum
says, "that tho leaguo should persist
ently cultivate what may be termed
active and passive publicity; by pas
sive publicity being understood, the
inert' elimination of secrecy and by ac
tive publicity the taking of definite
measures to securo the world-wide dis
semination of information uf impor
tance.
"It is of the highest Importance that
the league council should sit habitual
ly iu public . Only I ho adoption
of that iMtlicj: can secure tho regular
uttendanco nt council meetings of
journalists fixim sin h centers nt Lon
don. Purls and Ronm.
"It has to be remembered that what
interests the public is uctive cnntio.
vt'i-sy; not merely a dry exposition of
divergencies of vicw-t, but the sharp
unstudied expressions of differences
of opinion. (Ninstii"ntly sessions of
tti- council, if reports of them are to
engage, popular intercuts niiisr avoid
the appearance of having been staged
and must bo public, even here there Is
risk of tho unexpected. It is the unex
pected that Htiiiml.tt om public Inter
est." Tho memorandum urged that, in the
caso of private sessions, full and lucid
communiques should lie issued, adding
that thoso of the committee of tho
recent Washington conference were
good examples.

!NEW ERA U. S.
PROSPERITY IS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. Husiness
throughout the country, progressing
through well defined circles, is neartng
the Kiint of the upward swing of the
economic pendulum, according to the
annual report of the federal reserve
board transmitted today to congress.
"There are those." the report said.
"who believe that the beginning of the
revival is not far distant. When it
does definitely set in it will be follow
ed in due course by a new era of pros
perity." Husiness. in one of its "long swings''
from prosperity, the report said, has
followed its usual rotation. This rota
tion is described us follows:
Husiness activity and increased pro
duction, excessive expansion and spec
ulation, followed hitherto by panic and
forced liquidation; a long- period of
slow liquidation, business depression
and then reverse.
Cross earnings of the federal re
serve banks fur I'.'Li. the roimrt con

reiHirt. showed a continuous decline
from $l'.i;s7.iHio,otin at the end of 1SU0
to about $1,111,000,1100 at the end of

On December is the reiHirt conttn

Marshfield, for governor on the repub-

of the Federated Patriotic societies at i
its meeting of Saturday a week ago,
seems to have stirred up a lot of cross
currents In that mystic organization.
So much opitosition has been voiced

that a good sized revolt was brewing
during the middle of the week and
(seemed to be gaining so much momen

Some Not Pleased
Certain segments of the Federated
Societies do not like Hall and are not
pleased with his indorsement. Word
conies that they are not yet through
protesting, and it is supitosed that the ,
gubernatorial situation came in for
lurther discussion at the meeting of
the council of delegates scheduled for :
last night.
It is rumored, pretty definitely, that
this council intends to mark time and
let Hall's candidacy rest in abeyance
until after he has issued his platform
in order that the leaders of the Feder
ated Societies may see just what he
promises before they put the stamp of
final approval on his candidacy.

by the senate last week, follows:
"Retrponsive to senate resolution
Ko. 737, asking for records, minutes,
arguments, debates, conversations,
etc., relating to the so-called four
power treaty, I have to advise that jt
is Impossible to comply with the sen
ate's request. Many of the things
asked for in the resolution, it Is it
erally impossible to furnish because
there are many conversations and dis-
! formal and confidential conversations
j or discussions of which no record
t was kept or to submit tentative sug-
gestions or informal proposals, with-
out which the arrival at desirable In
ternational understandings would be
rendered unlikely if not impossible.
"While I am unable to transmit
the information requested, I do, hew
ever, take this opportunity to say
most emphatically that there were no
concealed understandings and no se
cret exenanges or notes ana mere
are no commitments with the excep
tions as appear In the four power
, treaty itself and the supplementary
agreement which are now in tho
hands of the senate."
Without discussion the president's
letter was referred to the foreign re
lations committee, when it was read
in the senate, the motion being made
by Senator Hitchcock.
