Excerpt from The Cowboy Philosopher on The Peace Conference:

If they ever have another war lets have it understood before they start what each Nation wants at the finish,

All those Nations claim they were fighting for freedom, But of course a little more land would make a little more Freedom,

One thing about this League, The last war there were only 10-15 nations in it now if they all sign this they can all be in the next one, It won't be near so exclusive

Course its hard to please everybody Taft tried that,

If Pres Wilson had any doubts about this League of Nations being put through he should have taken some of these Prohibitionist. They would have shown him how to get it through whether people wanted it or not.

France says they would have more confidence in this league if they would slip a couple of more Nations in between them and Germany,

I WONDER IF WE QUIT FIGHTING TOO QUICK AND DIDENT SIGN PEACE QUICK ENOUGH,

Don't get impatient. It has been just this hard at the end of every war to try and prevent another one,
