He said in discussinir the treaty: "First it is honest, it agrees with our program of war. with our public engagements and with our conception of international life. : . "While he -is studying and discuss' mg this same treaty, the enemy well knows that he has a block of granite in front of him. If nnvone tries to belittle this solidarity- he thereby con fesses that he has learned nothim from the lessons of the war or from the creative greatness of our union. "Finally it is efficient, for in that world which it invites to peace it makes Germany truly harmless. It forces her to repair everything which she should nnd can repair. " " "To challenge the need of such a guarantee is to confess to having lived for five years outside of hu manitv nnd to ignoring the martyr dom which such aggression has hi' f lifted on it.".
