Excerpt from Senator Lodge Past and PresentMassachusetts. As Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate, he was made the target upon which were dulled the weapons of most of those who sought to draw us away from the great policies that had made us secure from foreign attacks and domestic intrigue.At the head of a splendid body of men, he fought a long drawn out, tiring, irritating campaign, marshalled his forces with con summate skill, and emerged a victor in the greatest parliamentary contest in the history of our country. He was abused during the campaign, as probably no other senator was, but in the end, he triumphed. It seemed as though he had won for himself one of the great places in our history. But one cry persisted, even after the shouting had died away, and that was the bitter, insistent taunt of his adversaries that he had been animated throughout, not by patriotism, but by a blind devotion to partisan ends. His enemies were powerless to prove their claim to be justified. His friends, including the hundreds of thousands of his countrymen who had been won for him in this fight for American ideals, indignantly de nied the charge. The cry, however, never ceased.Can it be that. His actions in the Washington conference have proved the truth of the charge levelled at him? How can he reconcile his position then, and his advocacy of the proposed treaties just sent to the Senate, with his actions and arguments of the recent past?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
