Abstract

Ten Years After Versailles

MacDonald, William | May 22, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

Writing in "The Nation," ten years ago, of The Madness at Versailles, the author took occasion to point out some of the essential iniquities of the proposed peace treaty, and called attention to the lamentable role which had been played during the war and throughout the peace negotiations by that master of political sophistry, Woodrow Wilson. It was his conviction then, as it was, he thinks, of many others in this country and in Europe, that a peace of vengeance had small chance of becoming, even alter many years, a peace of reconciliation, that the obvious injustices of the treaty would long continue to cry for remedy.
