"Whpn the armiStice with Germany
was signed The course to be pursued
WAS clear. That course was
to make peace with Germany at once
and then take up for reasonable con-
sidera tion the question OF establishing
such future relations with our aSSOrl-
ores in the war as would make for the
future peace of the world. This MI.
Wilson prevented. He went to Eu-
rope
He had apparently only one aim, 70

should be the head. He was determin-
