He had made mistakes in his negotiations, but through all his communications, except a few which disgraced us just before the war opened, there ran a golden current, of moral power which he coined into phrases that gripped and charmed. And then began a series of blunders such as no President ever was guilty of. Had lie kept to the level of moral elevation which our position in the war exacted he would have achieved enduring greatness, but from the fatal day when he made the appeal to partisanship lie E are amused aLan editorial that appeared in last nights Provo Herald entitled, Europe Is ' " Ungrateful to America.

And, indeed, humanity was ready to honor the United States by honoring him and accepting his dictation. Great Britain, as did all the other nations, assumed to bow to his decrees.
