ABSTRACT
Woodrow Wilson at the Peace Conference had never attempted to use his hands to pick pockets while using his mouth to utter the words of Christ, and his contempt for Lloyd George and the British policy of preach and gTab grew violent in June 1919. All the illusions about the nobility of British statesmen which he had cherished since his childhood were shattered. The German submission produced no elation in Wilson. His hatred and loathing of nearly all mankind, which must have been at bottom a hatred and loathing of himself, had reached a fantastic pitch. Wilson, on the day the treaty was signed, commended it to the American people: "The treaty of peace has been signed. Wilson had escaped from the feeling of guilt which was weighing upon House by clinging firmly to the belief that the League would alter any imperfections in the treaty and the cognate belief that the imperfections were slight.
