OF the German armies was mentioned
as a condition precedent to negotiations.
Germany, fully armed, was apparently
70 be able to renew the conflict should
the conferences come TO nothing.
The country protested so loudly that
10 was needed. The later notes mem
toned preliminary conditions, although
the President refrained from asking
unconditional surrender. The final re-
suit was a compromise. The reaiists
wrote the armistice, in a military sense
almost an unconditional surrender, and
the other party secured the acceptance
OF the Fourteen Points as amended, as
the political chart Of the conference.
The consequences of the mistake then
made are now plain. In the first place.
the writing Of the peace was delayed.
The conference instead Of being plen--
airy. was THEORETICALLY tethered, and
when Judgment went against any coun-
try it said the Fourteen Points were
flouted. Instead Of making for speed
and harmony the formula caused slow
ness and discord. And every time the
cry Of a violation Of the OFurteen
Points was raised at Paris Germany
was served. A foundation was laid for
her pretence that faith was not kept.
And as the effect among the Allies
was bad so it was worse in Germany.
Instead of Germany being softened and
mollifed her leaders have been able to
keep alive a. bad spirit. Germans were
told that Germany laid down her arms,
not because she was beaten, but be
cause a favorable bargain had been
made. False expectations were kept
alive and a basis furnished for the
charge that Germany now makes, and
which for six months It has been in
eviiablc she would make.
The soreness OF Germany so far as
it is honest, is more intense than il
she had understood the surrender was
unconditional. The chef objection 10
trying the peace conference in advance
was that more bitterness would there
By be engendered The world would
have more hopeful future today il
the free conference bad been entirely.
free. and the treaty prepared, it may
be deemed certain, would have been
marked by as much breadth and mag
nanimity as the one now pending
The bestlguess still is that Germany
will sign-will sign because she real
izes the next time her surrender will
be unconditional, with no insincere
clatter about promises to her. But,
whether she signs now or later. it is
SADLY evident that a more embttered
Germany will exist TO menace the
world than lt was necessary to have
exist. Idealism is worth little unless
rooted in realism Peace without vic
tory talk prolonged the war and has
delayed, and will long delay, the reali-
zation OF real peace.
