“PEACELESS EUROPE.”
LEADERS AT VERSAILLES. SKETCHES BY ITALIAN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn —Copyright. Received Feb. 12, 5.5 p.m. London, Feb. 10. A book entitled “Peaceless Europe,’’ written by the ex-Italian Premier, Signor Unden Nitti, has been published in London. It scathingly criticises the Versailles Treaty and caustically refers to the leading characters at the conference. It treats Mr. Lloyd George affectionately, and says M. Clemenceau was a tremendous destroyer. Ex-President Wilson was fickle in his infallibility, and made a great mistake as head of the State taking part in the conference; he was greatly ignorant of European affairs. Mr. W. M. Hughes is depicted as a small-minded and violent man who directed a furious campaign for a huge indemnity and that Germany should pay the entire cost of the war. Later Mr. Hughes, who is a sincere man, recognised that it was impossible to go beyond asking for reparation damages.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
