man Of the War Industries Board during the

commission and member of the Supreme
economic Council has added his name to his
toriahs or the peace conference. There has
just come from the press THE Making OF the
Reparation and Economic Sections of the
treaty" the first authoritative analysis from
an American source. of this phase of the peace
conference work. lie offers the following OBJ
scrvation
1T is Il curious but true fact that peace
seemed very beautiful during the war. hut
almost hateful when the war ended. From !,
superficial survey of the conditions that pre-
vailed at the peace conference. one would have
been quite justified in assuming that many of
the participants preferred war with all it's
horrors 10 any peace short OF that which they
demanded"
The reasons for this. he explained were
that their demands had their genesis in deep
rooted and almost incradlcablc hutrcds and
In the ins!stcnt desire for self protc ction
against future danger"
OF President Wilson's work for .e treaty
Baruch says:
Il believe that every fair-minded man who
can speak familiarly the subject Will agree
'hat the repression and minimizing of the
'shseiui elements In the treaty due in
largest measure to Woodrow Wilson and the
high purposes he set for ultimat o. attainment
Inc treaty may not embrace all he desired
nut believe IT embodies all that could have
been obtained"

In summing up. Earuch SAYS:
IN the reparation clauses the conference
