London, Jan. 27.-Viscount Hayas-
hi, the japanese minister at the court
of st. James, who has been bearing the
brunt of the diplomatic struggle in
Europe between Japan and Russia, is
a great admirer of American diplo-
macy. Discussing it he said American
diplomacy is far superior to mediae-
val methods, which still prevail with
European statesmen.
1t is frank and always to the point
the moment a controversy arises. He
continued: american statesmen
make it clear what the American gov
eminent wants. Americans say frank
ly what they want and what they in
tend to have. What is the result?
They generally get it. If they don't
those opposed to them know the con-
sequences. There is no beating about
the bush. There is none of the delay
and suspense and consequent loss of
business which invariably attends any
diplomatic attempts to settle disputes
with European nations.
