PROTEST AAGINST SECRECY. I PARIS, January 16. Mr. A. J. Fraser writes thatr the decision merely to issue an official communique daily, and maintain -absolute: secrecy is placing an embargo on the delegates against diseussig the conference with the Press, and has occasioned a vigorous protest- to Mr. Lloyd George from the Empire’s Press representatives. It has been pointei out' that secrecy, strikes a blow at President Wilson's first "point that the covenants should be ■ openly arrived at, also with a conference of 63 delegates, repesenting 28 separate nations, the prevention of leakage is difficult, especially when some delegates are disgruntled by defeat and seek to gain the public ear. This would inevitably lead to biased ancl inaccurate informa tion escaping. The Peace Conference delegates cabled that probably the Peace- Conference will not be secret. AMERICA AND THE DOMINIONS.
