DOOMS COLLAR DIPLOMACY

English Press Ct the Opinion That
President Wilson's Policy Means
That Foreign Offices Will No LONGER
Be Tools of international Finance.
London, March 22.-While the opin.
ion prevails in the London Stock Ex-
change that the other five powers will
continue negotiations with regard to
the loan to China in spite of the with.
drawal of the United States, political
circles tend to the view that Presi-
dent Wilson's action means the disso-
luton of the group.
The Daily News, which has been q
consistent opponent of the group,
takes the latter view, and expresses
the hope that the other powers will
follow the United States and with
draw their support The News con.
tinues:
President Wilson's action is the
more valuable because it belongs to
a general policy and he means to
have nothing to do with the dollar
diplomacy which makes the foreign
Offices instruments of international
finance"
The Morning Post, also inferring
that President Wilson's action means
an end to dollar diplomacy" says:
Whatever they may wish, the Dem
ocrats are unable to escape the re-
sponsibilities which rest on their
country in Central America Polit-
ical and military adventurers in small
republics pay little heed to mere ex-
hortation and if the president does
not wish to continue the Republican
policy he will have to find other
means of enforcing his will"

Austria-Hungary government is pre-

according to an unofficial statement
The ultimatum was decided upon, it

Austrian interference in the Turko-

1t is not believed would permit an
Austrian military movement against
the Balkan allies, and may be expect

Austria In such an event This might
mean armed conflict between the
triple alliance-Italy, Austria and
Germany-and the triple entente
Russia, France and England-the
most fearful war in European history.
Diplomats, therefore, regard any
move made by Austria in this crisis
as of grave Importance. Austria's in
