President Wilson and his fellw ideal
lists. After all, there was not much
harm in it, 1t threatened no present
national interest and ii gave great
pleasure to number of good unprac

all President Wilson had to be, con-

which he was determined to stand or
fall. And SO he got his way. But IL
is fact that only a man OF his great

Others had seen with him the great
vision, others had perhaps given
more thought to the elaboration OF
power and the will that carried IL

souvenir to the future of the world.

The honor Is very great, indeed
for the Covenant Is one of the great

as sure as fate. Forty two nations
gathered round it at the first meet

the day is not far off when all the
