T ' THE TASK ACCOMPLISHED.
(The Tifton Gazette.)
Our country’s president is on bis way home from France, bis task
across the water accomplished.
No matter what may have been our opinion of bis trip abroad, all
of us know now that bad not Mr. Wilson attended the peace confer
ence the League of Nations would have failed at the beginning and
that, peace that, was signed Saturday would have been only a tempo
rary makeshift until the world could again make ready for war.
We know now that Mr. Wilson set aside all precedent and went to
France to make sure that the peace which had been bought with the
blood and sacrifice of America's best and noblest should not be an em
pty tiling. The men be sent across had made a perfect job; be went to
see that they were not robbed of the fruits of victory.
We know now that bad not Woodrow Wilson gone to France, the
peace conference would have again left the weak nations of Europe at
the mercy of the strong.
We know now that had he invited members of the American senate
to accompany him they would have added to the confusion and multi
plied the difficulties.
We know now that the attendance of our president secured for the
world the opportunity to insure peace for all time by the maintenance
of the League of Nations.
Woodrow Wilson returns from Europe an older man. but with his
name securely written on the pages of history, lie met there the best
trained diplomats of the leading nations of the Old World, and he won
from them practically every point which be crossed the ocean to se
cure. lie won, not alone because of bis personal ability, but because of
bis sincerity and disinterestedness, and because be went as the repre
sentative of a nation which asked nothing for itself, but all for human
ity and world liberty.
Having won his battle for these abroad, Mr. Wilson comes now to
carry the tight for humanity and universal liberty before his home
people. And here lie will win overwhelmingly because the people of
America want the things be represents.
