It may have been or it may not have been. No one can tell as to that. But I believe that nearly all Americans hoped and expected that some sort of an association of nations would be created at Paris. As to the form and functions of the asso- ciation, public opinion in the United States had not then crystallized. It was not until the covenant as finally re- ported was found to contain a mutual guaranty of territory and independence, together with [53] Wilson other features which were claimed to ...be contrary to American interests and to the traditional policies of the United States, if they were not actually violative of the Constitution, that the President's interpretation of the popular will was seriously questioned. When, in addition to this opposition to the covenant, — which was seized upon with avidity by Mr. Wilson's personal and political enemies as an opportunity to discredit him at home and abroad, — the injustice of certain settlements in the treaties was manifest, the opposition to a guaranty, which might require coercive measures to enforce such settlements, increased and greatly strengthened the oppo- nents of the covenant, and in fact had much to do with preventing the ratification of the treaty in the Senate of the United States.
