”″It is peace, not war that we are seeking to perpetuate.” – Secretary of State Kellogg

These words embody the spirit and purpose of the Peace Pact of Paris, which is here submitted to masterly analysis and interpretation. It is most fitting that the author of “The Drafting of the Covenant,” legal adviser to the American Commission to Negotiate Peace at Paris, and an intimate friend of President Wilson, should be first to bring before the public a study of the new Treaty, which continues to gain in significance and to enlist more sympathy as time goes on.” (Publisher)
