WideOpen Diplomacy

DRESIDENT WILSON is setting the whole
/ world an example in diplomacy which in
evitably will have powerful influence upon
tho relationship between nations in the
future. He is taking all mankind into his
confidence whenever he speaks or acts for the
American people. He does not deal in secret
with rulers or potentates. He does not bind
his country to do this or that in mysterious
covenants. He does not enter into private
agreements even with our allies.
On the contrary, President Wilson does his
negotiating before the eyes of all peoples OF
all lands. When he has declaration to make
involving foreign affairs, he consults with his
official advisers, then makes that declaration
in public before the Congress Of the United
States When he fixes upon terms Of peace
which this government regards as essential
to the future welfare of humanity, he does
not whisper them in darkened closets. In
stead he boldly proclaims them for the in
formation OF friend and foe alike.
No Wilson policy in peace or in war is more
praiseworthy than this. If he can force the
worlds diplomacy into the broad light of day.
he knows that he can compel governments to
deal justly with each other and decently with
their own people. lie knows there never
would have been world war if there had
been no secret alliances, no covert ambitions,
no dark intrigue. He knows, moreover, that
the rulers of Germany who precipitated the
bloody conflict would not have dared to do
such thing if those rulers had consulted
their own people before it was too late.
The President does not propose to be a
party to any peace parleys which are held
behind closed doors. There are to be no
executive sessions Of the peace councils, if he
participates in them The American people
must know exactly what transpires, every
move that is made and every condition that
is imposed BY the same token the Presi-
dent means that all peoples shall know all
this government knows and all it does in the
direction of peace. That is his fixed deter
mination, and is based upon the conviction
in his heart that no peace made in the night
will endure.
There arc reasons to believe that some of
the European Foreign Offices at first were
amazed at the Wilson program. Daylight
diplomacy was unknown to them 1t had
never been practiced before by any country.
Moreover, they failed to understand why the
president should make his pronouncements
upon questions of equal interest to France and
England. for instance, without first consulting
with these governments and first agreeing
privately with them upon program but these
friendly nations arc getting used to the new
order of things and are themselves being con-
verified to the idea that diplomacy that is
wide-opcn must eventually win the worlds
confidence
