WASHINGTON. July 1s-The subtlety of
Russian diplomacy has been strikingly ex-
emplified in the negotiations between the
Cars government and the United States
relative to the Jewish petition and the Man
churian question. One incident i'm this af-
fair shows the loyalty OF Russia's diplo-
matte representatives to the home govern
ment and their willingness at all times to
sacrifice themselves for the national well
fare. From the beginning of the diplomatic
negotiations with this country growing out
of the Kisihnen outrages. Count Cassini
either acted under strict orders from the
Russian Foreign Office or proceeded along
lines which he knew would be approved by
his government But the attitude of the
Russian ambassador was displeasing to the
State Department of the United States. For
the first time in the history of diplomacy,
perhaps. official notes were exchanged
between the two countries through
the medium Of the public press.
Cassini proved himself an adept
In getting into the newspapers and
he set the pace for the American officials
The announcement that Russia would not
accept the Jewish petition was first learned
There was no doubt that Cassini inspired
the report. He did not deny it. The same
means of enlghtening public opinion were
used by this government President Roose-
welt dictated a/reply to Cassini, given pub
licity as semi-official statement, in which
the bad faith OF Russia relative to Man
churia was cited.
The problem embodied in forwarding the
Jewish petition to Russia had to be handled
with great care. Our diplomats realized
II was great mistake. Russia was placed
In a delicate position. and Cassini adopted
press publicity in lieu of a blunt declara-
tion to STATE Department officials that his
government would regard any move to
forward the petition as an unwarranted In
reference on the part Of the United States
In the internal affairs OF his government
Cassinis whole policy with reference to
the Jewish petition was extremely annoy
Ing to this government. He has left the
United States and will not return In an am
Dassadorial capacity. To the public the
impression has been conveyed that Cassini
Numbered in handling the negotiations for
Russia. and he stands rebuked by the Rus
sian Foreign Office. But as a matter of fact.
Russia Is not displeased with it's Washing
ton ambassador. He has practiced diplo-
pacS as IL is taught In Russia. He is re-
garded at home as one of the ablest and
most adroit men in the Cars diplomatic
service. Publicly the Russian ambassador
has been called down. but privately he

One of the principles instilled into the
minds OF Russian diplomats is that they

the situation with composure. Unless he

Affects Russian interests, he will be re-

has followed the well-defined lines of Rus
sian diplomacy and errs, he may be dis
credited to appease an offended power. but
IL does not effect his standing with the
Cars Foreign Office Such is the position
Of Count Cs-ssini. If he retires from the
public service in Russia, it will be due to
his own personal wishes.
