her high place as one of the Big Five" of the league. The day after a ma Jority or the American peace commis- sion had reported against the Japanes, claims the Council of Four" reached its final decision, in which MT. Wilson acquiesced China has been aban- doned to Japanese rapacity.
 The whole affair furnishes another example of the results of secret diplo- macy, for the arguments which pre- vailed with the president were those to which he listened when he sat in secret council with NJ. Clemenceau and MT Lloyd George.'
 The first breach between Lansing and Wilson, after they arrived in Paris. was upon the question of guarantee of territorial rights. Wilson wanted an executive guarantee, with an armed force at its back. Lansing held out for an international cour1. and voluntary compliance to the courts rulings Dur ing the early stages of the league framing Wilson refused the court pro- gram, and, according to Lansing, ac- cepted that only at the urgent solicita- ton of foreign delegates
 Lansing opposed the Big Five" per petual control idea. He said it savored too much of a balance of power rule that it was unfair to the small nations. Wilson paid no attention to his argu-
 
 that to be the only way in which he could assure support of Britain, France Japan and Italy to a league of nations
 Lansing insists that Wilson "sacrf- feed his idealism. his principle of self determination. his open diplomacy, p and long delayed the return of peace because he insisted that the league Of nations must be written into the peace treaty"
 Another wide breach between the president and his secretary of state de vclopcd in negotiating a separate treaty with France. This treaty Lansing vigorously opposed, he said, not be- cause he objected to assuring France of protection against possible future | German retaliation. but because it was contrary to Lansing's idea of American l alOofness from European entansle- ment- He argued with the presiden. ! that the guarantee contained in the covenant of the league article \. Wa | sufficient protection for France. as it was for smaller nations around Ger many.

 M. Clemenceau continued to press the president to agree to the plan" Lansing writes. What arguments were employed to persuade him I can not say; but knowing the shrewdness of the French premier in taking advan- tage of a situation, my beli<s is that he threatened to withdraw his support Of the league of nations. To avoid this *7s the president submitted to the French demands

 This further departure from Amer ica's historic policy caused me to ac- sept President Wilson's guidance and direction with increasing reluc- tance.' We did not agree, we could not agree"
 Lansing says he did not resign his commission at that time because he felt 1t would create an embarrassing situ- ation in the negotiations" of the peace treaty.

nation was chiefly due to the oppo- sition of the statesmen who represent ed the British empire incontradistinc- ton to those who represented the self governing British dominions.
 T do not know the arguments which were used to induce the president to abandon the phrase"
 Permitted Him to Know Little
 Lansing admits that he knew little of the inner workings of the peace con- ference. He says the president made it clear he did not wish him to take a hand in shaping the league of nations, and intimated that he had better turn his attention to other matters con- cerned with the peace negotiations
 However, other commissioners were in the same boat, according to Lansing. These were White and General Bliss. The two American commissioners on the inside were Wilson and House.
 Even Colonel Houses office staff knew more about what was going on than I did Lansing explains. He says he often was much embarrassed when delegates of other nations, not of the Big Five" preached peace top ics to him. T did not know what not know that the president had one"
 Lansing insists that, to make the league of nations possible, Wilson sur rendered to Japan, on the Shaunting demands; to Italy, on the annexation of the Austrian -peopled province in the Alps; to Great Britain in the elimina tion of the self determination principle, and to France on the military protec tion treaty; and that he deserted the small nations and helped to make an ''oligarchy of the Great Powers
 ''In his eagerness to make the world safe for democracy says Lansing. he abandoned international democracy and became the advocate of interna- tional autocracy."
Arizona republican., 1921-03-27

The book shows the president and his secretary of state were far apart long before the peace commissioners went abroad. Lansing says that of Wilson's four peace colleagues. Colonel House alone knew Wilson's peace program, other than as he had publicly an nounced them in his familiar fourteen points and subsequent addresses"
 Lansing Cites Two Reasons
 Previous to the departure of ths American commission to Paris" Lans- ing writes, the president did not con- suit me as to his plan for a league of nations. I think there were reasons for his not doing so, although was the official advisor whom he should natu- rally consult on such matters" These two reasons, Lansing says, were:
 THAT Lansing was opposed to the employment of international force.
 THAT Lansing was a lawyer.
 Wilson, he says, has taken no trouble to conceal that he does not value the advice of lawyers except on strictly legal questions
 Lansing himself a noted interna- tional lawyer, with other legal advisors of tho commission prepared what they called a skeleton treaty" This was done after Lansing came to believe the president had no definite plan for peace beyond the league of nations. This skeleton treaty Lansing carried to the president, who rejected it. saying with great candor and emphasis that he did not intend to have lawyers drafting the treaty of peace"
 Being the only lawyer on the dele gation," says Lansing, 'l naturally took this remark to myself
 Says Wilson Overruled Colleagues
 Lansing admits that practically the only hand he had in the peace confer ence came when the Japanese demands on Shantung were reached. Here the president asked Lansing to confer with both the Japanese and Chinese delega- tions Commissioners Bliss and White also participated
 They were agreed that China should not be forced to give Shantung to the Japanese, and so reported to the presi- dent who they believed, then, was Of the same mind.
 Later Japan threatened to withdraw from the conference and to reject the league of nations. Lansing says Wi!- son was afraid the threat would be made good although, at the time. Lansing insisted that Japan would not withdraw: that she could not surrender

The Southern DeIeqations

The question of southern representation in donal republican conventions has always been troublesome since reconstruction days and it appears be solution than it in the beginning. It is doubtful whether there ever expectation that it would be disposed of. In 1900 Senator Quay injected it into the vention in such to produce alarm but it trans pired that that all he trying produce, and having gained his point. his resolution was not presented. It is difficult to find basis for repre- sentation in the convention. If the of the states should accepted the basis, conventions would controlled by less than half dozen of the larger states certainly by that small section of the country lying north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi. While such representation would be a representation of the majority it would be a representation of either sections or industry.
 Though the country is represented in the lower of there is the off-settng resentation in the senate equal state representation which prevents any section of the country se- curing an advantage any other section
 But the southern representation as it now stands cannot be excused any ground We can not give to the popuous states representa- ton in proportion to their population compared with the populous By that here the party of the but state surely is entitled o a representation greater than that of state which larger party vote But that is what southern states have. For instance the party vote in South Carolina is hardly more than one tenth of the party in Arizona. Yet the represen tation of South Carolina in the convention is much greater than that Arizona In the southern states too, representation is much less representative of the party than in the northern states The delegations formed by the leaders, sometimes after fierce fight between two small groups or else after compromise a division of the prospective spells.
 When scandals arise in national conventions it is always found that more southern delegations are involved in them. And it has happened that by the manipulation of southern delegations, the will of majority the people of the country has been defeated.

Boston and New York.
 It is a startling story of what happened behind the scenes at the peace confer ence, which Lansing, then sec retary of state, attended as one of the five American peace commissioners.
 Lansing begins by telling why the president asked for his resignation as secretary of state, February II, 1920. It was because Lansing did not agree with Wilson on these points:
 ONE-The pre- si d e n t's presence in Paris during the peace negotiations
 TWO "The fundamental principles of the constitution and functions of the League of Nations as proposed and ad- vocated by him."
 THREE-The inclusion of the covenant fin the treaty restoring a state of peace"
 FOUR-'SThe treaty of de- fensive alliance with France. :"
 FlVE-"The necessity for a definite program which the American commissioners could follow"
 lent of private interviews and 1mission of the Japanese claims
