Mr. Churchill, British Minister of War during "the" war, describes it in terms of exasperation, cynicism, vitriolic indignation. Though he was at the Peace Conference only toward the end, for the discussion of Soviet Russia, his opinion of the whole fiasco is nonetheless violent. He spits fire upon Wilson Biographer Ray Stannard Baker's smugness: "Mr. Baker detracts from the vindication of his hero by the absurd scenario picture which he has chosen to paint. Wilson...
