AMERICAN
DIPLOMACY

LII AOIr1ftSI
Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States, and Robert Lansing,
Secretary Of State had their pictures
placed side by side in some papers
of the country today. They are not
only the men of the hour, but their
names will go down in history as
among the greatest diplomats the
world has ever produced. With H.
cringing or bombastic manifestations,
they have steered the ship of state
away from breakers and moored it
in tranquil waters. The papers in
this country are placing honors
where they are due, while those Of
the German and other European capt.
tails are also rejoicing over the fact
that the delicate relations between
the United States and Germany have
been handled by experts and not by
jingoes or those who pose with white
feathers
w. j. Bryan and Theodore Roose
welt are left absolutely high and
dry by the new developments. The one
is just as high as the other is dry.
Mr.. Bryan is in just as amusing a
fix as is The eX-President.
Germany's surrender to the de-
mands of President Wilson upon the
submarine issue is generally admit
ted to be the greatest diplomatic
triumph of this generation. It over.
shadows every other achievement of
this Administration:
Not only does it relieve the most
acute foreign situation involving the
United -Sta;es= since President Clepe-
lands ultimatum to Great Britain in
the Venezuela affair." but it restores
the American Government to posi-
tion of vantage as possible media
tor between the warning nations
abroad.
On the one hand it safeguards the
lives of neutrals on the high seas
and, on the other. it paves the way
for return Of friendly relations and
mutual confidence between the United
States and Germany. 1t is difficult
to calculate the far-reaching effects
of such victory.
The National Zeitung, of Berlin,
publishes leading article under the
heading: "Wilson. Bryan and Roose-
velt," which is noteworthy for its
friendly tone and for the ungrudg
ing administration expressed for
President Wilson.
The personality of President Will
son has been Illuminated more strong
ly than ever before, the National
Zeitung says. during the exciting days
through which Amerisa has just pas
sed. The President will appear to
many in new light. Never was his
position more difficult than during
the Arabic Crisis, "when Mr.. Bryan
was calling on Americans for peace
at any price and Colonel Roosevelt
was summoning them to war against
Germany"
President Wilson is pictured in the
article as standing between the two
rivals, whose activities threatened to
bring about such situation that the
President might make his attitude to-
ward Germany dependent on domestic
political considerations.
"That President Wilson withstood
this temptation and may be counted
on to withstand it further must be
acknowledged" the newspaper says
Notwithstanding the fact that the
German people certainly have rea-
son to be dissatisfied with his at
titude in the matter of submarine
warfare"
Mr. Wilson is characterized as a
more clever politician than "the un-
lucky Bryan and the astute politician
Roosevelt"
