The Attitude of Germany.
Significance of Her Prompt Recognition
of the independence of Panama.

of the Independence of Panama.
/ The promptness of Germany in rec
ognizing the republic of Panama
following hard upon our own action
IN regard to that matter, is indisputa-
bic proof Of her friendliness toward
the United States. At divers times in
recent history this goodwill has been
manifested, but not, perhaps, IN a
form so mmistakable. In the Vene
Zuelan complication, for instance,
Germany's attitude was well under
stood by our Government to be
friendly, though some persistent crit
les refused to see it. There is nothing
equivocal, however, about her support
of MS in the Panama incident.
In diplomatic relations, as in soeie-
~, much depends upon tacit under
standings. Diplomacy was once de-
fined as that which IS not said. Had
the United States been forced to stand
alone for even a short time in her
attitude toward Panama, 1t would
have been a situation of somewhat
sinister meaning. The Monroe Doe
trine does not mean that we shall IN
sist on splendid isolation, and, in
point of fact, the action of President
Roosevelt implied no such conse-
quenee. 1t did imply independence of
European powers in matters that con-
Germ us, and fearlessness Of their
opinion. Therefore, it scared timid
people Ever since the days of the
Revolution there have been those who
feared that this country was not
strong enough to stand alone. It was
predicted that this suddenness Of ae-
ton would place Us IN sort of
strange-dog position, with all the
other powers growing and showing
their teeth because we did not ask
their leave.
Nothing Of the kind has happened.
Germany, hardly to be considered an
impulsive or reckless power, has led
the way in approving President
Roosevelts action, and it looks very
much as if, contrary to the wiseacres,
Uncle Sam would be thought all the
more of for being capable of using his
own Judgment. 1t often does happen
50 in this world.
The really significant thing about
Germany's recognition of Panama,
however, is that it shows her positive
friendliness for the United States.
There has always been a disposition
IL this country to distrust friendly ac-
tons Oh the part of any foreign pow
er. There are always people ready to
suggest that such actions cloak evil
designs. But suspicious persons are
sometimes too sharp, and see hidden
evils which do not exist.
1t was a German statesman who
found out that to tell the truth was
sometimes the safest kind of diplo-
macy, because so many wise folk were
too wise to believe it. There Is every
reason to suppose that an her mani
festatiOns Of friendliness to the
United States Germany Is entirely sin
cere, and that those who refuse to be-
heve this are simply standing on their
heads for the sake of proving that the
world is wrong side up.

Difficulty in France.

In France there has long been a party
IN the legislature in favor Of the impo-
sition OF heavy duties upon all nobiIIary
titles. and the only thing that ms
caused the government to refrain from
taking any steps in the matter has
been the feeling that were it to enact
these taxes they would be construed as
the recognition Of nobiliery titles by
the republic.
