OF HON. PHILANDEE OHASE KNOX. TEEATY OF VEESAILLES. Mr. KNOX. Mr, President, I wisli at the outset to make my own position perfectly clear, that reason or excuse for mis- understanding or misinterpretation may not exist. No one more abhors Germany's lawlessness, her cruelty, her gross inhumanity in the conduct of this war than do I. No one is more ...
quested that the proceedings of the peace conference and the documents connected therewith should be furnished for our information. The reply was that all were not here, only those immediately at hand having been brought, and that those here were being sorted and some would be finally sent to us. Why should these documents need sorting? Do they hol...

is it, sir, about these things that the people can not know? What there to hide from them? Must we take tliis is thing, as the German people must take it, unsight and unseen?

We knew that their source lay not in any hostile feeling or purpose of the German people toward us—who were no doubt as ignorant of them as we ourselves were—but only in the selfish designs of a Government that did what it pleased and told its people nothing.
We are glad, now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them, to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the German peoples included ; for the rights of nations great and small and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made sa...

It is this : We must first recover ourselves and wipe out the dishonor of our collapse, the dishonor of forsaking our Allies in the hour of their dire need. And then we must readjust our dominions as we wish t...
said heretofore, that this treaty, stripped of its meaningless beatific provisions, provides merely and simply for an alliance between the five great powers in a coalition against the balance of the world. And again I ask, has history ever answered this save in one way—by destroying the coalition and at times all or some of its constituent members?

The Versailles Treaty and Its Legacy, a realist interpretation of the long diplomatic record that produced the coming of World War II in 1939, is a critique of the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and reflects the judgment shared by many who left the Conference in disgust amid predictions of future war. The critique is a rejection of the idea of ...
