Item description from seller

94 Pp. Green Cloth, Gilt. First Printing (And Probably Only Printing), With 1925 Date In Title Page And Scribner Seal On Copyright Page. Very Near Fine; Large Woodblock (?) Bookplate Of Sam Bevis "His Book" (Signed Jn In The Image). Dust Jacket With Wear And Browning, Minute Losses At Corners, Price $1.25, Owner's Name "Kingsley" At Top Of Front Panel. Very Scarce; Worldcat Locates No Institutional Copies, Just Microfilm Etc., And The Gale Reprint For Libraries Per Wikipedia, Newton Diehl Baker Jr. (1871 1937) Was An American Lawyer, Politician, And Government Official. As U.S. Secretary Of War From 1916 To 1921, Baker Presided Over The United States Army During World War I. As Secretary Of War, Baker Presided Over The American Military Participation In The World War I In 1917 And 1918, Including The Creation Of A Nationwide Military Draft. Baker Selected Gen. John J. Pershing To Head The American Expeditionary Forces. At Baker's Insistence, Wilson Made The American Forces An Independent Fighting Partner Of The Allies Against The Central Powers, Rather Than Letting American Troops Be Used To Replenish British And French Forces As Those Nations Advised. At One Meeting With British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, Baker Told Him That "If We Want Advice As To Who Should Command Our Armies, We Would Ask For It. But Until Then We Do Not Want Nor Need It From Anyone, Least Of All You”. He Was Occasionally Attacked By Military Professionals Who Thought Him Incompetent Or A Pacifist At Heart. He Said, "I'm So Much Of A Pacifist, I'm Willing To Fight For It”. In 1918, Wilson Told Baker That He Hoped He Would Follow Him Into The White House In 1920. At The 1924 Democratic National Convention, During Discussion Of The Party Platform, Baker Was The Principal Advocate Of Language Committing The Party To American Membership In The League Of Nations. After Losing In The Platform Committee, Which Advocated A National Referendum On The Question, He Raised The Issue On The Floor Of The Convention. When His Allotted 20 Minutes Expired, The Crowd Roared For Him To Continue. After An Hour He Left The Lectern To A Tremendous Ovation. Speakers Who Tried To Argue Against Him Were Booed. Yet The Final Vote Went Against Him By A Margin Of More Than 2 To 1. According To A New York Times Editorial, “For A Moment That Vast Audience Was Lifted From Partisan Thoughts To Heights From Which It Could Have A Glimpse Of The Promised Land Of Peace. . Not Only Did Mr. Baker Do His Best, But He Made One Of The Best And Most Moving Speeches Heard Of Late In Any Political Meeting. “ In 1928, President Coolidge Appointed Baker A Member Of The Permanent Court Of Arbitration Of The Hague, And He Was Reappointed To Another Six-Year Term By Roosevelt In 1935. In 1929, President Herbert Hoover Appointed Baker To The Wickersham Commission On Issues Relating To Law Enforcement, Criminal Activity, Police Brutality, And Prohibition. He Remained Active In Democratic Party Affairs And Was Considered As A Serious Prospect For The Democratic Nomination For President In 1932, When He Declined To Announce His Candidacy But Worked Behind The Scenes In The Hope Of Being Chosen If Franklin D. Roosevelt Failed To Win The Nomination. Baker Argued Before The U.S. Supreme Court As Counsel For The Property Owner In Village Of Euclid V. Ambler Realty Co., A Landmark Case That Established The Constitutionality Of Zoning Laws.
