Abstract
After the first rejoicing over the birth of the Wilson-Clemenceau project-treaty grave disappointment arose. Evidently whatever it might be as a safeguard against disturbance of peace in the future, it also organised the permanence of the paramount world-power of the victorious Entente. With even this dark side that evidently there was not found a guarantee against discord of the leading powers of this Entente. Indeed just at the mo¬ment the draft of the treaty was ready, the American representatives voted an immense increase of their war-fleet and the first signs of a rivalry at sea became visible, at least as dangerous as that between the British and German empires, which was one of the causes, probably more than any other the cause of the actual disaster.
