Foreword

There are a few things that the reader should know and consider before reading this trial of a treaty. The United States Senate has never ratified the Treaty of Trianon or any other treaty of Versailles. President Wilson, who spoke for the United States then as president, worked out a 14-point plan of settlement of the World War so that all nations and peoples would enjoy what appeared to him to be a fair, justifiable and lasting peace. These 14 points were entirely disregarded in the treaties of Versailles in spite of the fact that the United States supplied the finances to carry all of the Allied nations through the war. With one exception (Finland) those loans are still unpaid. The real causes of President Wilson's death have never been publicly discussed. In reaching a conclusion of facts given in this volume you will find that these positive facts will help you to decide as to the claims of the nation which suffered most in the settlement of that war and which still bears no malice towards the United States. That nation is Hungary.
