Excerpt from Can Europe Keep the Peace?The present volume represents twenty years of first hand observation of Europe in peace and war, beginning before the Second Balkan War of 1913, continuing through the World War and followed by many visits to the fronts of racial conflict since 1918. Its judgments of international meetings are based upon attendance at the Paris Peace Confer ence, the Washington Naval Conference and the still recent London Naval Conference, together with many of the Assemblies of the League of Nations.In these years I visited French North Africa, Greece, Danzig, the Polish Corridor and Vilna; Galicia, the new Hungarian frontiers from Press burg to Szeged; Trieste and the adjoining battle front of yugo-slav and Italian; the new frontier of iron along the Maritime Alps and the old on either side of the Vosges.
