Mr. White lifts the veil of secrecy that covered flip proceedings- at the peace conference, and tells us something about what Mr. Wilson had to contend with, what he did, and how he did it, and summing it all up in one phrase, Mr. White says, "He got seventy per cent, of what he went after." Speaking of Mr. Wilson's notion of things when he went to'the Paris conference, Mr. White gives us something of an accurate explanation of what was in the president's mind, in the following: "For just here it is necessary to define the American idea which President Wilson brought with him. For after all our president is not important as a m^n hut as a representative of an ideal in connection with the story of the peace conference. As a man he was always remote, sometimes Vague and never very interesting in Paris. But ' the ideal he brought there was dynamic, and he cherished it and impersonated it well. It was the ideal of faith: faith in humanity, faith in the moral government of the universe, faith in the power of the spiritual forces of life to triumph over the material powers of life. "And in presenting that idea to j Europe with its age-long habit of! doubt, doubt grounded in cynicism, it | was as though grown men should I suddenly turn up in a solemn conclave j telling fairey tales! Europe could harly keep its face straight. M. Clemenceau chortled in his glee. 'God,' said Clemenceau, 'gave us His ten commandments and we broke them. Wilson gave us his fourteen points? we shall see.' And again 'My friend President Wilson is a man of noble candeur, noble candeur meaning stupid simplicity!" Speaking then, of the allies at the peace conference, Mr. White states! their hopes and aspirations quite accurately, we think, in the following: "And here is what he faced: Four other major powers instinctively arrayed against him, with only Great Britain's statesmen?aind not all of them?understanding him. In addition to the four major powers he sat with the little nations, who though they believed in Wilson as Santa Claus, were none the less dubious, none the less hungry, always Europeans. This must also not be forgotten ?that the president was playing one kind of a game, his allies another. Occasionally these concrete things overlapped. But they never differed in kind. Europe sat at the table, for boundaries, for economic advantages^ for military guarantees, for balances of power. One must keep that in mind. For the president's appeal did not reach the men who sat with him in the conference. It only reached public opinion, though European governments are"* much more flexible than ours, their public opinion does not seem to be so powerful as ours; and the fine phrases of the peripatetic philosopher." Then describing the final battle and its results, Mr. White says: t(TT- nn oftoi? tho ChlTlOSP n? JLU ugii t uu ait^i tuv surrender, knowing that public sentiment at home was hardening against him, but confident that he had chosen wisely between the evils; never regretting his choice, but greatly saddened at the need for such a choice. "When the treaty finally wag ready with its provision for years of vassalage for Germany and with the broad gesture of humilation for the vanquished which France needed to wipe out the stain of 1870, no one so surely knew as the American president that it was weighted with severity and that it might not carry its ?TJnf if rJirl hold the UWU YVOIgill.. .v ? League of Nations within it, and for that and thousands like him among the allies accepted it. They realized full well that the severity in it might breed wars; but they hoped strongly that the malice might be purged from the treaty by the League of Nations, and so let it pass on faith.. "'This is the heroic attitude. It was indeed a sad anticlimax to the high emprise which carried us into the war; yet it was the only result that a man of Wilson's reserve, his hermit habit could bring out of the clash between the ideals of the old world of the new.

But history has no if's. The record is the record. "Yet this also should be in ithe record, and Americans always must \ read with pride that their president more than any other man in the world is responsible for giving the world its first draft of a real League of Nations. If he hhd not gone to Europe the idea would have been abandoned. Clemenceau publicly declared in January that he was for the old-fashioned idea of the balance of power. The British understanding to which he referred seemed to imply f that Great Britain also favored a balance of power. Italy an dJapan had* no other thought. The League of Nations before President Wilson came to Europe was a pacifist's dream? irridescent but also evanescent. He made it real. For it he gave everything?even his good name. He sacrificed profoundly for the idea, and saved it to the world. He could not have done this by delegating hik power. His influence from Washington would have been negligible. But in Paris?grotesque figure though he was in European eyes?he was powerful. His words had weight. They prevailed. They have made a world league for peace and not for war, one of the inevitable things which humanity will bring into being by the very act of longing for it. "It matters little what happens right now to the League of Nations., Time is long, and the deep aspirations of men will wait. But our American y democracy may be honestly proud that it raised up one who put into the hearts of all the world, because we sat him high where he could speak to all the world, the aspiration of our hearts for the coming of peace of good will among men." Many of us have not realized how much the president sacrificed?how he toiled for the ideals of a worldpeace?the happiness and freedom of the human race. Mr. White has brought to us a better understanding of things, and to him' we feel indebted. We must understand, too, that Mr. White is not of the same party as our c president?he is not of the same mind on most things, but on this one subject he concedes that Mr. Wilson has won a tremendous victory for the right, and for humanity, and that we owe him at least.our gratitude. , A ?
