Under the stress OF the worlds greatest war,

tenn Of choosing cOuntrys diplomats from among
men of affairs rather than from professional caste
has been triumphantly JUSTIFIED. In the case of at
least two Of the great belligerents-Germ and
Austria -Hungary-the old method of selection has
been a conspicuous failure.
American policy in this respect has been found
ed on the conviction that men who have succeeded
in winning their way to success in commercial or
literary or scientific spheres demonstrate by that
fact that they are fitted by native ability and
large experience to represent their government in
its official dealings with other nations. For, after
all, modern diplomacy is primarily the task of ad-
