Abstract

Washington Correspondence

This article focuses on the need of open diplomacy in the U.S. in context of current warfare. English playwriter and novelist, Israel Zangwill, said that if the war had reduced to silence the suffragettes, it had at any rate, given the men a brand-new slogan: "Votes for Men-in foreign affairs." Back in the old days, in President Grant's Administrations, the relationship between business and the Government was informal in the extreme. When an American business enterprise wanted to get something for nothing from the Government, it came down here to Washington and approached the Government by the back door. These kind of situations are advised to be corrected by means of diplomatic political actions, not only at the domestic front but at the international front too.
