註釋

Becker writes to his friend of his pessimism in the aftermath of World War I, "the most futile and aimless, the most desolating and repulsive exhibition of human power and cruelty without compensating advantage that has ever been on earth." Becker describes the corrupting effects of involvement in politics, and his feeling that both President Wilson and his opponents in Congress are operating in an atmosphere "saturated with self deception and nonsense." He has little hope that the League of Nations will accomplish anything.
