me that while the name of President

must none the less be recognized that
his Judgment of his countrymen was
wrong and that by the error of that
Judgment he became, parodoXically

altruistic mind would most especially
have recoiled."
AT another point he declared:

with a noble message of hope; but
unhappily in the sequel hope proved
to be his principal equipment"
