that if they dident hurry up and do something the Americans would pick up their Wives and come home,
Pres says "JAMES BRING MY BOAT"
They then got busy and decided that Belgium could try the Kaiser, Belgium said "how do we get him," Allies said "thats it if we could get him we would try him ourselves,"
Some Nations got so tired waiting for Peace they went back to fighting again,
Been working on this League of Nations all winter, Finally one of the deligates said "What about Peace with Germany" The others all said "thats right we never thought of that,"
Went to call in Germany and they said "Why we had give you all up thought you wasent coming, We got a better offer from the Bolsheveki"
=They offer us no indemnities and no Baths,=
If they ever have another war lets have it understood before they start what each Nation wants at the finish,
All those Nations claim they were fighting for freedom, But of course a little more land would make a little more Freedom,
One thing about this League, The last war there were only 10 or 15 nations in it now if they all sign this they can all be in the next one, It wont be near so exclusive,
Course its hard to please everybody Taft tried that,
If Pres Wilson had any doubts about this League of Nations being put through he should have taken some of these Prohibitionist. They would have shown him how to get it through whether people wanted it or not,
France says they would have more confidence in this League if they would slip a couple of Nations in between them and Germany,
I WONDER IF WE QUIT FIGHTING TOO QUICK AND DIDENT SIGN PEACE QUICK ENOUGH,
Dont get impatient. It has been just this hard at the end of every war to try and prevent another one,
Pres on his last voyage home said the Monroe Doctrine was fully protected already And to show them that it was, He has now put it in,
This Monroe thing the Republicans talk so much of and know so little about, Protects us against everything but VILLA.
And in the whole History of America he is the only Nation that ever attacked us,
Italy says they will pick up their Marbles and go home
Pres Wilson says you may Fiume, But you will never get it,
Today is Japans day to threaten to pack their kimonas and leave,
Italy bases her claim on an old treaty, She cant afford to trace her Treatys back too far, If I remember she originally was signed up with Germany,
Pres Wilson certainly used good judgement in visiting Italy when he first went over,
Sectry BAKER has gone back over to France again think old Newt, kinder likes PARIS,
They wanted Mcadoo to go but the salary wasent right,
Can you imagine a guy that couldent make a living out of all the jobs he held, I would love to have just half what one Republican would have made out of all that,
Lot of Reps dont want this League Gag to pass they are jealous cause the Democrats ran the last war, And they want to have another one to show how much better they could run one than the Democrats,
Even the Big 4 seem to be losing confidence, They have removed the words High Contracting Parties, which appeared 418 times in the original and now speak of it meekly as members of the League,
We know Pres Wilson had a lot to do with drafting it, Cause it has so many WORDS
Now it will take longer to explain it than it did to write it,
If Mr Lodge and Mr Lowell debate on these new amendments Boston has applied for a change of Venue,
Only debate ever held where both men agreed,
Pres is up to his old tricks has sent a NOTE to Italy,
His appeal to the Italian People caused as much of a furore as the one to the voters last fall,
Italy says they know Fiume was not in their secret treaty with other Allies But its a nice town and they hate to see it fall into bad hands,
Get all those Nations sore enough to start telling the truth about each other, We will hear something,
Italy claims Fiume because there is more Italians there than anybody else, according to that Look whod get NEW YORK
Japans claims are sorter novel "They want pay for capturing part of China one of our own Allies"
They have offered to protect Siberia if they have to stay there forever to do it,
If Japan gets all her claims China will pay more indemnities than Germany who lost the war,
Imagine Japan, Pres Wilson, and Italy, All talking at once, Good thing they cant understand each other or this Conference would never have lasted this long,
AND THEY CALL THAT A PEACE CONFERENCE,
Guess those CZECHO POLOKS
