...Western I. W. W. angered because of the treatment of his leaders in our courts and an eastern highbrow who had detected an inconsistency in the government's policy; a former editor of a German paper who could see no wrong in the Lusitania affair and a religious pacifist who would not take another life to protect...
Herr Shuecking, German pacifist leader, characterizes the rejection of the Treaty of Versailles as a "tremendous moral victory for the cause of universal peace."
