7 In this connection see the article on “Reparations”byMr.Lamont, Thomas W. Google Scholar, one of the American financial representatives at the Peace Conference, in the volume entitled What really happened at Paris, New York, Charles Scribners Sons, 1921. In discussing “The Power of Clemenceau and Lloyd George”, Mr. Lamont says: “ It sounds absolutely unwarranted for me to place my opinion against those of two chiefs of state like Clemenceau and Lloyd George; yet I am convinced, as I was at the time, that they were wrong, that they entirely misread their own constituencies when they believed that if they adopted the business course of fixing the German indemnity and proceeding to collect it they would, because of the disappointment of their voters, be turned out of office. . . . All I feel is, if at this critical juncture both M. Clemenceau and Mr. Lloyd George had had a little more confidence in their own strength they would have joined with President Wilson and settled this question of German indemnity once for all, thus avoiding,to a considerable measure, the terrible consequences of continued unsettlement that have plagued Europe and the whole world since the Peace Conference adjourned and left the German indemnity question open.”(pp. 265, 268).
