DIPLOMATIC SOCIETY’S DEAD —DEAD AS FIVE-POWER PACT _ By JACK STINNETT, AP Feature Service Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—If _ this had been a “regular” World _ war, there might have been some- thing to report about what goes ®n in Warhington diplomatic ‘cirel ; I might haye been able td. say pa ror-o-ey, how the ‘allied’ dip- 7 tie corps has taken up the Soviet embassy ” thing has happened, simply be- cause this isn’t a “regular” war and because as a result of that there is no such thing as diplo- matic society in Washington any more. Once since Nazi Germany start- ed its foray into Soviet Russia, there has been a big society affair attended by His Excellency, Con- stantine A, Oumansky, and also the Right Honorable the Viscount Halifax, who holds the same title Soviet Socialist Republics. Herr Hans Thomsen, “charge d'affaires al interim” for Germany, was not present. Nor was anyone else who might cause those two dip- matic embaarrassment. i Mr, Oumansky and Lord Hali- fax chatted genially.; They smil- ed and laughed and shook hands and parted with an “I’ll-be-see- ing-you” wave and ‘nod. * Behind this simple: outward display of social graces is:one of the most complicated and con- fused diplomatic situations this capital ever has seen. A month or so ago, Herr Thomsen and Mr. Tt officially was “hail-fellow- well-met” whenever their paths crossed. Today, the relationship of their Tespective nations demands that any time they come in contact they immediately develop a bad ease of diplomatic astigmatism. ‘They neither see nor hear each other and both take the prover- bial attitude of the freight train passing the tramp. Thais may seem very simple— up to a point. When there was revolution in Spain, for instance and Germany and Italy were aiding the rebels, there: was an understandable coolness between But no such | for Great Britain that Mr. Ou-. .mansky hoids for the Union of Oumansky were the best of pals. | } HEMISPHERI the Spanish ambassador and those {of Italy and Germany.
