Ambassadors and The Status of Enemy Subjects in War
In a discussion of a new French envoy and Myron T. Herrick’s experience, the piece argues for prudent handling of German and Austrian subjects in France during wartime. It recalls Washburne’s protection, notes German legal status gaps in France, and cites Britain’s humane leave rules and older statutes governing aliens. It contrasts historical expedients with modern norms and warns against missteps risking U.S. involvement in a major European war.
