THE NEW DIPLOMACY
QW what has America done to
Europe? Here comes France
- over at The Hague conference with
an "observer," .
"Observers" were a new wrinkle
In diplomacy quite recently. Amer
ica was the first to send men to Eu
rope to say nothing, do nothing,
know nothing, but merely to watch.
And now France has taken up the
custom.
' What If England should: do .the
same thing, and Italy, and Belgium;
and Germany and Japan ? What If
all countries eliminated Official
representatives who are permitted
to talk and act? What if a table
were merely put into a room, secre
taries and clerks and stenographers
.were properly placed, and then the
delegates entered, sat down and
: proceeded to sit and observe and be
as idumh as mummies? Wouldn't
it , ne .; an intelligent conference ?
.-Wouldri'- the w.prld be edified by
T - its convention ? Wouldn't lnterna-
i tlonal affairs , be rapidly put Into
f shape? t And wouldn't it be a grand
occasion for the delegates them-
Helves as they sat and mutely ob-
J vuo anuiner, sitting across
the table?
, A new diplomaoy was promised
during the World waK There was
promise of a change. The change
was to do away with secrecy. It
was proposed to eliminate It under
a different plan. But, after all,
the "observing" plan of diplomacy,
if carried out by all nations, would
even farther. Nothing would
be said at all.
