European critics observe that the men of Vienna, may have had bad principles and employed despotic methods and misconceived the interests of their peoples, but they at least knew what they were doing and gave effect to their principles. Almost any European statesman detached from the exigencies of a political career would today say as much. English jurist James Bryce, at the Williams College Institute of Politics, spoke with the fullness of knowledge of a veteran diplomat who is at the same time a great historian, and with a freedom, which the Peace Conference period did not permit even so disinterested and detached a statesman.
