PEACE OR
(New York World.) i
On September 4, 1918. who would
have believed that within 12 months
it would be necessary for President
Wilson to set forth on a tour of thej
country to plead for the ratification,
of a treaty of peace the terms of
which had been dictated to a German
republic by the victorious allies andj
associated powers? Yet this is what!
has come about.
A year aco the end of the war and
the issue of tlie war were alike cloud-J
ed in doubt and apprehension. Commanders
and chiefs of staff were discussing
their plans for the campaign
of 111' and their hopes that the conflict
could be brought to an end this
year. American soldiers were dying in
blood by the side of their French and
British comrades in the desperate
work of rolling back the veteran Ger-|
man armies in the hour of their ex-1
t remit y.

and out of Congress because i< j
bad not rendered still greater assls-!
tance to the British and the French
The President was accused by Republican
leaders of being in sympathy j
with a negotiated peace and of being
willing make terms with a Germanyi
that had not been crushed. Chairman!
Hays of the Republican national
committee said in September, 1918,]
that "the Democratic leaders in Wash-j
ington would end the war with any
kind of a compromise if that would (
mean a continuance of their party in
power." Chairman Fess of the Repub-j
lican congressional committee plead-]'
ed for the election of a Republican;
Congress on the ground that "Repub-i1
lican success will be a guarantee;
against a compromise and therefore
an inconclusive peace."
In November the groat German i;
war machine callapsed: but the partisan
attacks on the President did not 1
cease. No sooner was it known that)1
he was to attend the peace conference '
than i he Republican campaign,
against him was renewed with tenfold!
fury. The common accusation was
that he was going to Paris to save
the Germans from the just wrath ol'i
an outraged civilization and that he]
would try to give them a soft peace
in place of the stern peace that
justice demanded. Organized propaganda
against the President inline-'
diatelv appeared in London and Paris,!

The British and French were warn-,

the American people, and that the
Republican senate, which must ratify
any treaty of peace, was in hearty
sympathy with the extremists in their,
demands for a dictated peace to lie
imposed upon Germany at the point
of the sword. In fact, litis Republi-,
