What Mr. Wilson Did.
William Allen White is a noted
American editor. His paper at Emj
poria. Han., is small in size and cir|
dilation, but large n reputation. Mr.
j White is a writer of stories, novels,
I romances, and interesting articles, on
I economies and politics. He is a thinkI
er. a student and philosopher, and he
i lias a clarity of expression that pats
i tlm pumh and point in an art?Me.
j William Allan White was at Pari*
j rt the peace conference, representing
j some of the big American newspapers.
He saw as much of the inside
as was seen by a*iy outsider, and he
had the gumption to get the drift of
I + V\ . M ra ? ft. ft. + V? ft ? ft n ft. ft ft ft Aft> ft . ft ^
as iiicv iraiue iiuatuit; uut ui
the closed -doors to the conference
room.
Writing in the Saturday Evening
Post, current issue. 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. Another man,
deeply emotional, capable of drama

tizing a situation, of illuminating the
aarK tragedy of tlie struggle with a
lively and lovable personality, perhaps
misht. have done better; certainly
he would have done differently.
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. ,

the League of Nations as a
good and sound plan, and afraid to
deny that it is, but standing aloof,
criticising without offering concrete
or constructive suggestions for a better
plan, suggesting this expedient
as a compromise, and then another,
but all the while waiting for a chance
to manufacture political capital out
of some phase of it, whether they regard
it as fair and just, or otherwise.
