A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My Dear Friend: It was near your heart, in face of the virulent attacks on our Peace Treaty, to set up the truth in print. If I applaud, it is not that I think there is need to defend the men who made it. For when all the criticism was in, nearly every candidate sought their endorsement before going to the polls. But what a misery to reduce to personal concern, the immensity of the interests at stake. A las! Nothing is less easily forgiven than success, above all when it touches your critic in a tender spot. Shall I add that an exact notion of duty, coupled with the pride of responsibility borne in the war which the Treaty was to close in triumph, forbade us to bring into the negotiations men whose views we had thus far never shared. Hence, disappointments which sooner or later were to find tongue. Then enforcement entrusted to new hands, in the midst of grave difficulties, opened the door to recrimination. You know the old saying: It is a bad workman who blames his tools. The common people were quick to see that violence in attack is not enough to redeem failures in time of stress. The deadly parallel was all that was needed to enlighten those whose least excuse was not always that they were blind. That is why, dear friend, it cost me so little I, who was looking on from the bank to turn away from this turmoil, telling you the while that the nation having seen how great the trial would continue its confidence to those who had won it bravely and honestly. You agreed with me. But you were in the melee and claiming the right and duty to defend our common cause, you justly thought that it became you and your comrades to stand and meet the eager horde of assailants. It is fair to say that you have not spared yourself. This book bears witness to that.
