To such a world America could and should make a greater contribu- on than it did to the post-Versailles world. Lord Lothian, the British Ambassador in Washington, bas rightly pointed out that the economic sins of Versailles were for greater than its political mistakes. We might go farther and say that with more active operation of the Covenant's plans for political adjustments and without such economic blindness the mistakes would never have political caused war. And on both counts the United States has a share of blame proportionate to its power.
The American dream has had three main ingredients Christian idealism, political union, and economic free- dom. Americans are bound to think in those terms. In whatever seitle- ment
