open DIPLOMACY
COMING, SAySROOT
Not to Mean Exclusion Of
Common. Sense, He Tells
Californians.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-Open
diplomacy ''is one of the good things
that necessarily must come with the
control of foreign affairs by the people
mean the exclusion Of common sense" +"
Elihu Root declared in an address here.
While the intrigue of the old school
diplomacy that inevitably led to war
was gone. he declared. there is new
danger of stirring up trouble by loose.
uninfomed talk. The duty. Of democra-
cies was not to slander each other. he
said.
when two men misunderstood each
other their troubles usually can be
settled by getting them together to talk
things over" he said. ''That is just
what happened in the four-power
treaty"
wsuld Have Averted War.
Such conferences, he added. had
averted war at least twice in the past
and would have done so In 1914 If Sir
Edward Grey's plans had succeeded.
"if there Is controversy the most
important thing is to get some one to
change his mind" he continued. ''lf
he is wrong, make it easy for him to
admit it; if you are wrong. keep in
position where you can admit it. The
. man who comes ont publicly does not
dare to change hi. mind. 1t is more i'm
portant that before you get a man in
public you get him right. That is what
happened in the four-power treaty.
Half truths sometimes involved in open
diplomacy should not be pressed TOO far.
More quarrels have come from in
Eults than from injuries. II democ-
racy is to conduct foreign affairs
without taking the nation into strife
1t must not give cause for resentment
in the minds of other peoples"
nority" could carry things to point
to which the great majority would
not agree, with no punishment until
the great, good-natured majority de-
who stirs up friendly nations"
Venture on Great Undertaking.
I'VE are venturing now on a great
tions." he added. land the people of
the United States should make 1t the
first great lesson of their duties to
punish with disapproval the man who
~1llfully stirs up the animosity of
foreign countries
Mr.. Root said this, could be done by
refusing votes at the polls to the men
against the peace of the world and by
stopping their patronage and adver-
tising in newspapers guilty Of the
same.
He continued:
1t should be understood that the
American people will taboo loose and
Onfriendly talk about the people of
other nations. and such punishment
will be the first great step in our con-
duct of foreign affairs.
1t is our duty SO to direct the for
eign relations of our country that the
power Of public opinion shall be for
peace
