Rogers-isms, the Cowboy Philosopher on the Peace Conference
Rogers, Will
Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920) -- Humor; World War, 1914-1918 -- Humor
_Seems several Nations were like_ Jesse Willard _they wanted
to know what they were to get before they entered the
Arena_,
Well they finally handed Germany the Peace terms 80 thousand
words only thing ever written longer than a Lafollette
Speech,
HAD TO BE THAT LONG TO TELL THE GERMANS WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF
THEM
Imagine what a document for Lawers to pick flaws in,
Could have settled the whole thing in one sentence, "IF YOU
BIRDS START ANYTHING AGAIN WE WILL GIVE YOU THE OTHER
BARREL,"
RUSSIA cant get in on this Peace There is not enough Paper
in the World to print 80 thousand Russian words on,
If they want to get even with Germany they ought to let them
keep their Cables And appoint Burleson to run them
_I thought the Armistace terms read like a second Mortgage,
But this reads like a_ FORECLOSURE,
If Germany ever wants to go to war again she will have to
fight with _BEER STEINS_
If Germany stops to read those 80 thousand words before they
sign them, We needent expect Peace to be signed for years
yet,
Now Folks with all this kidding and foolishness aside, for I
just say in here whatever I think anybody might laugh at,
But of course my real sentiments are the same as everybody
else, anything to prevent war If He puts this thing through
and there is no more wars, His address will be WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON D C till his whiskers are as long as the Peace
Treaty If it should be a Fliv, (which it wont) Why then a
letter would reach him at ALABI NEW JERSEY. So all Credit to
Pres Wilson it took some game Guy to go through with it,
THE END
