GERMAN DIPLOMACY
RETURN TO PRE-WAR REGIME [By Aii- Mail—From Our Own Correspondent] LONDON, 25th March. There was no little soreness at our Foreign Office, among the professional diplomatists, when just after the War distinguished amateurs were given big embassy posts abroad. This feeling has been even more intense among Germany’s professors of the diplomatic arts since Hitler has given important foreign Embassy appointments to his Nazi amateurs. But apparently this regime is not giving entire satisfaction, and the professionals are now coming into their own again. Herr von Mackensen, son of the famous Field Marshal, who was Germany's most outstanding Brass Hat of the War period, is becoming permanent Under-Secre-tary at the German Foreign Office, and Prince Bismarck, descendant of another and earlier German hero, is in charge of the political department. These appointments suggest a return of the pre-War diplomatic regime in Germany. Though this was never very shrewd, it at all events usually avoided provocative sensationalism.
