Rogers-isms, the Cowboy Philosopher on the Peace Conference
Rogers, Will
Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920) -- Humor; World War, 1914-1918 -- Humor
If Mr Lodge and Mr Lowell debate on these new amendments
Boston has applied for a change of Venue,
_Only debate ever held where both men agreed,_
Pres is up to his old tricks has sent a NOTE to Italy,
His appeal to the Italian People caused as much of a furore
as the one to the voters last fall,
Italy says they know Fiume was not in their secret treaty
with other Allies But its a nice town and they hate to see
it fall into bad hands,
Get all those Nations sore enough to start telling the truth
about each other, We will hear something,
Italy claims Fiume because there is more Italians there than
anybody else, according to that Look whod get NEW YORK
Japans claims are sorter novel "They want pay for capturing
part of China one of our own Allies"
They have offered to protect Siberia if they have to stay
there forever to do it,
If Japan gets all her claims China will pay more indemnities
than Germany who lost the war,
Imagine Japan, Pres Wilson, and Italy, All talking at once,
Good thing they cant understand each other or this
Conference would never have lasted this long,
AND THEY CALL THAT A PEACE CONFERENCE,
Guess those CZECHO POLOKS have gotten their freedom, I see
where they are at _war_.
Wish I could find a man who had read this LEAGUE OF NATIONS,
And could tell which was the _Assembly_ and which was the
_Council_,
Thats a good clause in there "where any Allied Nation must
give three months notice before it jumps onto any other
Allied Nation,"
_Now the Women want to send Deligates, They forget this is
a_ Peace Conference,
See where the German Deligates to the Peace Table brought
their Golf Clubs We can see now how Admiral Graysons Pupil
stacks up against opposition,
See where Pres Wilson and Italy have compromised on that
town down there _Italy got it_,
Its kinder new wrinkle in Diplomacy, The Slovaks can play
with it four years till they begin to like it, And then they
take it away from them,
AS I UNDERSTAND IT ITALY IS TO HAVE IT TUESDAYS AND
SATURDAYS,
But they are going to build those other People (_with that
terrible name_) A little young town just as much like this
one as they can, down the river aways
Guess the reason they put a four year limit on it, Was that
they figured that would about cover the existence of any of
those new Nations,
The Idea over there now seems to be lets get something ready
to sign up, Whether its any good or not,
See where Pres Wilson and Japan _compromised_ on that CHOW
CHOW PLACE JAPAN GETS IT,
I dont know how much money Indemnity Japan will demand from
China,
_You know_ CHINA _has one of the best_ JAPANESE _Armies in
the World_,
See where Pres Wilson and England compromised on Freedom of
the Seas England got it,
Italy left the Conference and got what she wanted, Japan
threatened to leave and got what she wanted, If Pres Wilson
had left some Republican Senators would have gotten what
they wanted,
