Fifteen Ships Sunk Since
 Last Thursday

UNDATED, Nov. 22 (PD - Mounting maritime losses and re criminations over the foiled Munich plot on Hitler's life fur ther embittered the warfare be tween Germany and Britain.
 Six German planes bombed the Shetland Islands north of Scotland but British sources said the raiders failed to hit any ob- jectives.
 The Italian steamer Fianona of 6600 tons struck a mine off the English coast where more than ten ships including five neutrals have gone down in the past five days.
 The German freighter Bertha Fisher fell prey to British war ship near Iceland. These new casualties added to the list of 15 ships which mines and submar- ines destroyed since last Thurs day in a quick increase which spurred Great Britain to retail iatory measures against Ger many. Britain accused Germany of losing the mines but the charge was denied by Berlin.
 Tn retaliation Prime Minister Chamberlain announced a block ade on all German exports, de- signed to choke the Reich's trade. Most of the imports have already been banned by the British con traband control imposed at the wars outset.
 Berlin declared the British measure was certain to bring counter-retaliation by Germany.

Arts And Practices OF
Diplomacy

The first and fifth presidents o
our country left precedents to pos
terity that are defended today jus
as they were when Washington de
clared against third term and Mon
roe against any attempt of foreign
power to make any conquest in Cen
trail or South America. Doesn't II
seem strange that neither doctrine
has ever been backed up by the
passage of law? Democracy alone
has been the prop that has sustained
these personal presidential opinions
On the other hand Diplomacy
has been backed by books of laws
armies and navies. 1t was claimed in
1924 that diplomacy was taken out
of politics." when the Rogers Bill
was passed making the diplomatic
service a career"
In the Fl American Republics there
have been recorded. on paper, num-
erous declarations and pledges of So
lidarity. peace and good will. Hon
esty of purpose, and even pledges to
he good neighbors. one and all, have
supposedly leveled all these nations
into all common understandings that
have been found to be necessary to
their UNITED interests, as revealed by
their histories. The machinery to
carry out these programs has been
transferred to diplomats.
The dictionaries define Diplomacy
as ''the art or practice of conducting
international negotiations; skill in
securing advantages.
Many concrete evidences about the
art" and skill" of Diplomacy are
to be found in the relations between
the United States and Mexico. as in
dicated. The following are instan-
ces:
Shocked and angered. Secretary of
State Hull declared at the time of the
oil confiscation in 1898. that tax
ing property without compensation
is not appropriation. 1t is confisca-
ton"

the Mexican president. and added.
Mexico knows how to honor her OBJ
legations. II was plain that Mexico
couldn't; and wouldn't-if she could.

acy finally met at the conference ta-
bles at Lima. where considerable
pressure was believed to have been
leveled upon Mexico: but the thick

In facing unflinchingly the cruel

Naturally, one would suppose that

another fight back to Washington.
These interesting facts could be
