He said that a great deal of the proceedings of the conference had been "shrouM'-d in impenetrable darkness. " What had happened had shown thnr "it was impossible to indue" in-due" n-itior- to acquiesce in secret diplomacy let any extent greater than any one would have believed possible " LONDON, Nov. 21 The inability inabil-ity of the United States representatives representa-tives at Pm is to deposit President Wilson's Wil-son's ratification of the German treaty at the same time those of other pow lers are filed, will not prevent the remaining allied and associated powers from proceeding to carry the treatv into effect " Bald Andrew Bona) Law, i government leader in the house of commons today, in answer to numerous numer-ous questions regarding the status of the treaty as a result of the Amer lean senate's action.
