Poor Diplomacy
 Blamed For War

London, April 29 - '"rhe world would never have been plunged into the catastrophe of the World War If the press had not overrated profes- siona1> diplomacy. thereby entrusting 10 the diplomats the most vital ques- tions."
 This is the view of Sigmund Munz, who, writing on diplomats in the Contemporary Review, analyses the characters, deficiencies and preten- sions of many of the leading figures in European and American pre-war diplomacy. He is further of the opinion that postwar diplomacy, both in England and America, suffers from ignorance.
 "A distinguished participator in the Paris Conference has told me in credible things about the ignorance Of Central European conditions that prevailed there" he relates.
 And, strangely enough. they were generally Anglo-Saxon diplomats who proved themselves to be igno- rant.
 "How much" he continues. could I tell you of the shallowness of the America diplomats with whom l have come into contact!
 T have met men like March, An drew White, Elihu Root, Oscar Strauss and others. but they were all men who had distinguished them selves in other ways than the trade of diplomacy.
 "Amertcan diplomats he blandly and couhdentially tells his readers, are by no means the pick of their country and were not infrequently people who had helped a President with money or influence in his cam paign.
 America has had excellent and we1l-informed representative abroad, eespecia!Iy in England.
 T shall avoid details about the American Embassy in Vienna during fine last 30 years But the inner life of the majority of these diplomats consisted of petty social vanities. and If ever their diaries see the light of day they will reveal that the height of their ambition and fame was reach ed at those hours which saw princes of the blood at their tables!''
