Second there is nothing really new
in this sort Of photography. The
public, to be sure, is more eager to
grasp what Sir Arthur says and his
reputation, alone, adds credibility to
the extremeness Of his views. Sir Ar

How was 1t in America? Ex-
actly the same reaction had here
set In. In spite of criticisms by
Roosevelt. Lodge and other oppo-
sition leaders, Wilson undoubted-
ly had the powerful and nearly
united support Of America until
the Fall OF 191S-and this in spite
OF the fact that his policies. all
through his administration, had
been antagonistic to what may be
called the conservative interests in
the country. His program of leg
islstion was felt by these groups
to be unduly favorable to labor,
TO the farmer, and to the small
business man against the great
business man. In November,
1918, when the elections went
against his party and the people
returned Congress opposed to
him, all the voices OF opposition
broke out with new force.

The Allies Fall Apart

No sooner had the war ended
than the high emotional and moral
enthusiasm which marked its con-
cluding year began to fade away.
The spirit Of unity began TO dis
integrate. The allies had not.
after all, common purposes. Each
had its ancient loyalties, neces-
stiles. jealousies, ambitions. and
these Immediately began to re-
assert themselves. The purposes
OF the secret treaties were again
crowded into the foreground. No
miracle had really occurred. Men
found themselves back in the old
familiar world-and, more than
that, in a statS Of exhaustion and
decentralization which tended to ir-
ritate rather than calm the natur-
al differences of opinion. 1t must
never be forgotten that il was in
time Of national shell-shock, ex-
aggerated appearances, eKagger-
ated fears, that the treaty was
made.
There is no true historical ap-
proach TO the events of the Peace
Conference without a clear un-
derstanding of these changes in
psychology. II is significant that
the forces which had given the
President the strongest support,
and relied upon him most impli-
city, that is, the liberal and labor
groups in the allied countries (and
indeed in Germany and Austria
were also the first TO discover tn 2

ment. No one who was in Europe
