LOT #130

HENRY CABOT LODGE

“The war is by no means over, that we may be called on to do some more fighting...”

 

HENRY CABOT LODGE (1850-1924) American politician and senator, led opposition to the Peace Treaty and the Covenant of the League of Nations. Typed Letter Signed with very good content. Marked  “Personal” atop on U.S. Senate stationary “Conference of the Minority.”

 

The eloquent statesman writes a Mass Representative Charles G. Washborn shortly after the first World War:

“January 1,1919, My dear Washburn: I have yours of the 30th for which many thanks. I do not know whether Wilson is hostile to England or not. I have heard that same story and I heard it from Taft, but I do not think he has either affection or hatred for anybody except personal hatreds.

 

He is thinking of himself. I doubt if he wishes to quarrel with England.

 

I think the good opinion of England is probably rather dear to him. But the situation has complications to the last degree, and when I look at the condition of the world at this moment and consider the fact that the war is by no means over, that we may be called on to do some more fighting in order to make the peace with Germany that ought to be made, I confess I am filled with wonder that men are giving their first attention to making wars impossible in the future before they get rid of the existing war. With every good wish for the New Year. Sincerely yours, H.C. Lodge.”
