Excerpt from Novissima Verba: Last Words 1920 Clearly the only real statesman there was our Prime Minister. His energy, rapid intelligence, versatility, sense of realities, patience, self-command, and de bating power over and over again saved the situation and dominated the Conference. He made the Presi dent see the hard facts that stood before his visions. He made the Tiger feel that soldiers must not override political necessities. He withstood Italian bandits and Polish, Roumanian, and Hungarian ambition. His obvious ignorance of the old Balance of Power, and his fortunate innocence of diplomatic vice made him the proper moderator of a new Europe and the childhood of young nations. These gifts made him as completely master of the Conference as Bismarck ever was at Berlin. It is a misfortune that Mr. Lloyd George is impulsive, almost too much the opportunist, the too-willing servant of the democracy he loves and from which he rose. Withal, he is the new leader of a new time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
