was little ideaKsm connected with
the methods of diplomacy. Strate
Kerns and clever tactics calculated to
deceive were considered to be entire
ly proper. Diplomacy was treated as
a game its purpose was not to fos
ter good relations but to serve as a
medium of beating the opponent.
Moreover, it was a game that might
be played without any sense of fair
play. That period of history was
noted for such practices as bribery,
stealing of document, and the em
ployment of secret agents. A good
diplomat also needed to know how to
make statements that could be inter
preted in many possible ways a
practice that was called by one writer
of the times 'amphibology,' for want
of a better name. Louis XI of France
once bluntly told one of his ambas
sadors 'If they lie to you, lie still
more to them.' It is interesting to
peruse the diplomatic correspondence

of the time of Catherine the Great
of Russia for it shows the current
icthods of that period. In one place
there is a boastful reference to a
'most secret article,' and in another
note the English Ambassador at Rus
sia revealed that he was paying a
confidential secretary of a Russian
officer for information of impor
tance. "We have been quite reluctant to
get away from those early concep
tions of diplomacy, even though in
all fairness we can claim some meas
ure of progress. Disraeli, the famous
British statesman of a half-century
ago, wrote in his letters of the secret
agents in his employ. Bismarck, a
Germnn contemporary of Disraeli's,
usod to argue that diplomacy was
like horse-trading in that one could
not be expected to tell a prospective
trader all that he knew about the
ailments of a decrepit horse each
party to the bargain was supposed to
know the business and if one should
be beaten it would be simply the re
sult of his Ignorance.
"The fact of the matter is that
our own times have witnessed a style
of diplomacy that is far from being
abovo criticism. It has not been so
abounding in tricks and deceit as it
once was, but it has been permeated
with a great deal of secrecy and it is
true that the pervorso ways of our
nature thrive best in the darkness.
Lord Rosebery, an Englishman, was
speaking of the methods of diplom
acy just before the war, and in the
course of his remarks he said By
far the" greater portion takes place
behind the scones and as we ordinary
mortals are not admitted behind the
scenes, our knowledge of foreign pol
icy must be based on speculation.'
During the World War, International
Policies fairly bristled with secret
pacts. Italy entored the war on the
side of the Entente group with a sec
ret understanding that she should be
given land along the coast of the
Adriatic Sea at the expenso of a de
feated Austria-Hungary. Japan was
given to understand that at the peace
when Europeun nations regarded ono
another with great suspicion. The se
cret diplomacy of the war period
was fully as far-reaching In its con
sequences. President Wilson went to
the Paris conference with the hope
of establishing a satisfactory peace
settlement but he found himself

brought her into the war. He be

filled. The whole treaty of peace" has
been subjected to the Bevere criti
ciBtn of experts. Had it been formed
in the atmosphere of a better di
plomacy it might be a better founda
tion for world peace today.
The post-war period has seen at
tempts to raise the moral standards
of international intercourse, but with
questionable success. Tho Covenant
of the League of Nations requires
that all members shall register with
the Secretarial every treaty which
they shall make and that no treaty is
to be considered as binding unles.
that requirement is met. The obvious
intention is to secure publicity for
all international agreements. During
the cast six years the League has
published about 25 volumes that have
contained over 700 treaties of all
kinds, including 15 peace treaties,
24 arbitration treaties, and 90 com
mercial agreements. States that are
reader to wonder whether the know-'not members of the League have

may not be of greater importance
than that which was given. When in
formation is divided into two parts
and only-one of them is published,
the imagination is set free and con
fidence disappears.
"These results of too much secrecy
may be seen from specific instances.
Between 1900 and 1910 European
diplomacy relative to Morocco was
tied up at times with secret clauses.
Members of the British House of
Commons and the French Chamber
of Deputies in 1911 were quite out
sDoken against the style of diplom
acy that had been used. They spoke
of half-truths and of the increasing
unfriendliness of European nations.
During that period of ten years, war
seemed imminent on at least two oc
casions and certainly it was a time

tions of the covenant at this point
but thus far no large nation has done
so. This publicity effort has not been
very successful. Harmless treaties
have been registered in great vol
umes but dangerous ones have some
times escaped. In 1920 France and
Belgium completed an agreement re
specting common action against Ger
many and the governments declined
to publish it on the ground that it
related to the movement of troops
and other questions of military
strategy which would lose their value
if published. A little later, a com
mittee of jurists was appointed by
the League to determine what should
be done with treaties of that sort.
The decision was that only treaties
that create international obligations
are deemed to come under the provis
ion of the Covenant so that other
pacts that describe in a secret way
certain methods of common action
are free from control. The effect of
this attitude of the League is to
weaken the effectiveness of its pro
visions 8nd to allow in fact treaties
of a secret nature. During the past
five years the world has heard ru
mors of several sub rosa agreements
among European nations.

been comparatively free from meth

were to be characterized by firmness
and a lack of trickery. Our diplomacy
is open to criticism at other points
but at least it has gonerolly been
above-board. Our constitutional re-
auircment for the ratification of
treaties by the Senute has helped to
secure publicity. The only way in
which secret pacts are possiblo under
our system of government is through
the modium of the executive agree
ment. Lack of publicity has some
times characterized sucn arrange
ments. For instance the Gentlemen s
Agreement made by President Roose
velt with Japan has not yet been
published in its full to...
"The fact of the matter is that
tho diplomacy of the world has not
yet been purged of all its fuults.
Popular control of government has
not yet been successfully extended tc
the conduct of foreign affairs. As
John Bright once said, "When yoi
como to our foreign policy you arc
no longer an Englishman,' his impli
cation being that his government wbf
democratic at every other point.
"Let us ask ourselves whether this
condition of diplomacy is actually
duo to the weakness of our nature or
whether it is unavoidoble. Have we
deliberotely chosen tho wrong way
or is the right way beyond the pow
ers nf our vision? This much we may
admit first of all that, all else being
equal, open diplomacy is superior to
secret. The difficulty is that all else
cannot be equal in other words,
there are other factors that must be
taken into consideration. Diplomat:'
often requires speed to take advan
tage of an opportunity before it is
gone. Sometimes in international life
opportunity will knock but once.
Haste does not go with democratic
control when there is required a long
period of time for senatorial or pop
ular action. Moreover, diplomacy
often requires " that compromises be
made between the representatives of
nations as an alternative to entire
inactivity. There have been few in
ternational conferences tliat have not
seen a need for compromise. The
Paris Peace Conference and the
Wnshinc-ton Disarmament Confer
ence were abounding in them. No
diplomat can compromise except in
secret where the public cannot enter
and chide. By the nature of the whole
business of diplomacy complete open
ness cannot be demanded Without re
sults of a most undesirable sort,
There would be no harm in demand
ing that all treaties be made public
on the contrary such a course of
procedure would be highly benefi
cial. It would be unreasonable, how
ever, to admit the public to an inter
national conference where a treaty
is in the process of making or to de
mand that a declaration of war await
popular ratification. Diplomatic prac
tice has done a great deal to rid it
self of the old-time deceit and
treachery that so commonly accom
panied it it remains to procure a
universal recognition of open diplom
acy in so far as openness is possible,
and to insist on secrecy where it is
needed."

Four Championships, Twelve Firtta
And Ten Seconds Taken by
University Entries
Cattle, hogs and sheep shown at
the National Western Livestock show
at Denver this week by the Univer
sity of Nebraska College of Agricul
ture won four championships, twelve
firsts, and ten seconds, besides some
thirds and fourths, according to a
telegram from Prof. H. J. Gramlich,
chairman of the animal husbandry
department.
College Aster, a twelve months
Hereford calf which was bred and
fed by the college was adjudged first
in his class and champion Hereford
of the show. He won over tho cham
pion Hereford of the American Royal
at Kansas City last November. Pul
adin Domino, a 1300-pound Hereford
steer was second in his class.
The Kenyon family of Angus
which has been kept at the agricul
tural college for several years and
which has won top prizes in the
leading livestock shows of the coun
try again took their share of honors.
Quadruple Kenyon and Cornhusker
Kenyon were second and third in
their class. Kenyon Junior was first
in his class and Mack was fourth. In-
dianola Bill, a grade steer produced
by Elba Hotze of Indianola was first
in his class.
In the Shorthorn classes, Royal
Marvel 3rd was first, keeping up the
reputation of his two full-brothers
that were shown in 1924 and 1925.
One of these brothers was champion
Shorthorn at the International Live
stock Show in Chicago. Royal Marvel
was champion Shorthorn at the Kan
sas Show last November.
In the barrow show, Nebraska
came out with champion barrow in
the Duroc Jersey, Poland China, and
Hampshire classes, and with seven
firsts and six seconds. A Berkshire
barrow fitted by the Colorado Agri
cultural College was champion bar
row of the show.
In the sheep classes, reserve cham
pion Hampshire ram, two firsts and
five seconds totaled the winning of
the University of Nebraska at the
close of the judging on Monday.
Practically all of the livestock
shown by the University of Nebraska
is bred and fitted by the animal
husbandry department. Most of the
feeding is done by the students them
selves under the supervision of the
herdsman, Charles Johnson.
There was a large number of Ne
braska entries in the show. It was
the largest show in the history of the
National Western show, Professor
Gramlich said. Johnston and Auld of
Guide Rock won grand champion
Shorthorn bull and Thomas Andrews
of Cambridge won Junior champion
bull of the show.
