HILL ON MODERN DIPLOMACY
American Ambassador Discusses Re-
lntions between Nations.

lol1OHS J1ClNCSA
BERLIN, July 11.-Dr. David jayne
Hill, the new American ambassador TO
Germany, contributes to monthly re-
view his opinions of modern diplomacy
and duties of modern diplomats. Hlth-
erto. he says, the foundation. on which
diplomacy rested was the doctrine Of
the absolute sovereignty OF States. a
doctrine that each State existed for
itself alone, and the chief task OF the
dplomatists was to help strengthen
his own State by weakening the others
and destroying competition from them
In his own country and in1ure their
trade and industry In other countries.
Now" says the ambassador. "a diff
ferent view prevails. and Just a mod
{ern political economists have over
thrown false economic dogmns like
that In regard to the mercantile sys-
TEN and the supposed advantage OF
possessing the largest stock Of the
precious metals, so the modern diplo-
matist must discard the old diplomacy.
and instead OF separating nations,
bring them nearer together, instead Of
sowing dlssensions among them, in
ItroduceS order, law and Justice for their
mutual relations. The best equip-
ment for him who seeks to do this Is
a Knowledge of history and as a skill
full physician proceeds to first acquaint
himself with the whole physical and
psychological history Tof s the patient
before prescribing. SO a skilful diplo-
mat!st should first acquaint himself
with the history OF states before trying
to bring Earring interests OF nations
In harmony s5f
The chief danger to-day, Or. III

cial interests, the increase of popula-
tlon, the desire to acquire or extend
territory and search for n CIV markets

The whole article is dominated by
the though that all States more and
more belong to the real family OF ma
tons, and the interests and happiness
OF the whole family are to be consid-
cred on the same parallel with the in-
terests and happiness Of individual

and the work of the, Chicago .branch

The hottest battle Of IN, entire c5'I-

that State have nominated strong
man for Governor in Tom Marshall. and

before the nomination of Kern as Bry-

made by the subcommittee, is to report
