A prominent statesman of Europe is
quoted as saying that American d.
plomacy puzzles and astonishes the
world, as nobody in high authority
knows just what to expect. But that is
not really what troubles the European
diplomatists. What confounds them is
the habit Of the United States of saying
exactly what it wants and what it means
in plain language which though wholly
courteous cannot be misunderstood.
And as its diplomacy is directed to the
maintenance of justice and international
fair play there is reason Why it should
noe speak out in meesin'."
