vviuiout a repetition ot tile Ui3
gu&iiiig tenuency to palaver that
lias heietotore been tile distin
guisinng teature ot our contro
versiai ueaungs with the Euro
pean belligerents. If the lan
guage ot tne note is expressive
oi tne true attitude of the presi
uent, one may ^conclude tiiat he
has, at last, grown tired of the
evasive, temporizing and liair
splitting tendencies of European
diplomacy and has made up his
mind to force where he cannot
persuade without sacrihcing his
own as well as the dignity of the
nation
No true American but will
consider this a proper as well as
a justihable attitude and extend
their hebrtiest suport. The
country lias grown tired of note
sending and continual squabbmg
over matters that should be set
tied by pre-emptory demand or
else left alone altogether. Fop
gun diplomacy may work all
right, and with little comment,
in the case of Mexico' or some
other country which it would
be a shame to jump onto, save
as a last resort, but the same
methods certainly certainly can
not be condoned in the case of
European states Mexico is a
sort of stepchild anyway. Quar
reling wth her is more or less of
a family affair, after all, and,
for that reason, we can permit
ourselves to trifle without an
excessive loss of dignity. But,
where Europe is concerned
things are different. The sub
marine episode now happily
concluded, has shown beyond a
doubt that kid glove tactics will
not work in Europe, except to
our disadvantage and if we are
to secure consideration we must
lay aside windbag methods in
favor of measures better calcu
lated to impress by reason of un
pleasant alternatives.
No matter the justice of our
contentions, Europe will trifle
with us just as long as we show
d disposition to avoid, facing
whatever issue may arise with a
full and fixed determination to
go through to the last extreme
with whatever we start at. If we
display the least indication of an
inclination to temporize we can
expect nothing better than trifl
ing in return. Quibbing is the
very salt of diplomacy and the
European diplomats like nothing
better than to engage in a little
controversy for the mere zest of
seing how long they can play a
desperate game without being
compelled to face the final issue.

Quarreling" is to them a gam.
as full of delicate subtiltics as a
woman’s disposition and in in
less calculated to inspire tin d>
plomatic mind with a desire t
learn what will develop by
sounding the depths. Lnfortim
ately, for ourselves, perhaps, w
are not good diplomats m tin
sense that we usually take things
too seriously and, with custom
ary Yankee obtuseness, want a
settlement right away when we
know that we are right Tin
bluntness of American diplo
macy is proverbial is Europe; w t
lind no pleasure in diplomatic
shilly shallying or beating
around the bush, hence the ir
clination to attempt a verb'
victory displayed by President
\\ ilson during tin varliei stages
of the subimn m onUrover.-n
was, doubtless, linked upon hy
the German diplomacy jugglers
who, byr the way are about the
poorest iu Europe, as a eiianct
for some rare sport and they , as
well as other European diplo
mats, probably laughed in high
glee at our floundering attempt
to unravel the tangled skein oi
it's and ands involved in separat
mg the facts of tin submarine
warfare from the tim spun
theories of international law.
And they probably did not think
that we were in earnest becaiisi.
of the strange departure from
our long recognized methods.
W e won out, of course, bu
let us remember, until wo ha
threatened to act ugly hy severing
diplomatic relations. 1 hen, an .
then only, was it conceded tha
we were right—and had been
right from tne very first. It tin
mail note is an accurate indica
tion of the administration inten
ttons, the lesson has not been lost
upon the president, lor we couul
not well go turtiier in expressing
our determination save uy an
out anu out Ultimatum, t rance
and Britain are given to unuer
stand that we mean business an .
business only, t here is no hint
ot temporizing in the president
nal attitude, i lie oftending conn"
tries are plainly told tuat tit
Liuted States can go longer
tolerate the wrongs which Am
rican citizens have been compel1
ed to sutler through lawless
practices” nor is there a vestige
of a suspicion that we are not in
deadly earnest in the statement
that "only a radical change ot
policy and the restoration to the
United States of its full rights
as a neutral power, will be sat
isfactory.” If the president had
adopted that tone from the first
instead of trying to adopt tin*
"back and fill” methods of Eg
rope we would probably have
been spared most of the indigni
ties to which we have been sub
jected by the belligerents from
the earliest periods of the war.
Not alone that, hut we would
have achieved a reputation for
not allowing anyone to tread
upon our toes that would go al
most as far as stacks of guns
and mountains of munitions in
preerving our peace and dignitv
at some time in the future.
