Summary: It is proved that there exists an infinite involutive family of integrals of hydrodynamic type for diagonal Hamiltonian systems of quasilinear equations; the completeness of the family is also proved, and a basis for it is constructed for Whitham’s equation. Higher integrals and symmetries of these systems are found.
