And then there were minor criti-
cisms. Fault was found that the
council of four had no official secre-
tariat. In the first place, all its de-
cisions were minutely recorded. In
the second. bureaucratic paper mon
gers nearly cost us the war. Later
on. in 1920, they nearly compassed

are due to those who discussed things
freely without thought of protecting
themselves by and with set of min
utes! Fault has been found with the
time spent in discussion. The con-
ference OF Paris began on January IL,
1919.
The. treaty was in the hands Of the
Germans on the 7th of May. 1t was
signed on June %. There is no in
magnitude accomplished so rapidly.
The congress of Vienna lasted fifteen
months: the congress of Westphalia
five years-and in each case the task
was less. If my personal experience
Of the negotiations has left any re-
things were done too quickly. Fault
has been found that, contrary to dip
lOmatic tradition, the treaty of peace
was built without the classic pro-
pyleum of preliminary treaty. Per
haps it would have been better if a
summary treaty had followed close
upon the armistice. This is what the
French delegates had at first pro-
posed. Circumstances made it impos-
sible. These prelimfnaries could have
been signed neither before the 18th
of February. when Mr.. Wilson left
for Washington anh Mr.. Lloyd
George for London. nor during the
absence Of NJ. Clemenceau. who was
wounded by an assassin on the 21st.
When everybody met again, on March
missions justified the hope that the
work would soon be finished, as it
was, In fact, six weeks later. when
the treaty was ready and the idea
of preliminaries was abandoned. 1t
was also abandoned for two other
reasons. The first was that a pre-
liminary-that Is to say, provisional
and incomplete peace-would have en-
couraged the already active campaign
for immediate rehabilitation, which
everybody realized was both neces-
sary and dangerous. The second was

and desiring also not to dssociat e
the ratification of the peace from
the ratification of the league of ma
tions, insistently urged the abandon
ment of preliminaries and the imme-
diate preparation of the final treaty
of peace. The ratification of the
treaty by the United States Senate
was a matter of so many and such
keen apprehensions to the European
powers that they did not even think
Of disregarding on a question Of pro-
cedure the formal desire of the PreSi-
dent Of the United States. That is
why the preliminaries were aban-
