PRESS NOTICES
THE NATION, Dee. 13, 1919.—"This is the first heavy shot thathas been fired in the war which the intellectuals opened on the statesmen themoment they realized what a piece of work the Treaty was."
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE, Dec. 20, 1919. —"Mr. Keynes hasproduced a smashing and unanswerable indictment of the economic settle-ment. ... It is too much to hope that the arbiters of our destinies will read itand perhaps learn wisdom, but it should do much good in informing a wide sectionof that public which will in its turn become the arbiters of theirs."
SUNDAY CHRONICLE, Dec. 21, 1919.—"No criticism of the Peace which omits, as Mr. Keynes seems to me by implication to omit, the aspect of itnot as a treaty, but as a sentence, has any right to be heard by the EuropeanAllied peoples."
THE SPECTATOR, Dec. 20, 1919.—"The world is not governed byeconomical forces alone, and we do not blame the statesmen at Paris for decliningto be guided by Mr. Keynes if he gave them such political advice as he sets forthin his book."
THE TIMES, Jan. 5, 1920.—"Mr. Keynes has written an extremely' clever' book on the Peace Conference and its economic consequences. ... Asa whole, his cry against the Peace seems to us the cry of an academic miud,accustomed to deal with the abstractions of that largely metaphysical exerciseknown as ' political economy,' in revolt against the facts and forces of actualpolitical existence. . . . Indeed, one of the most striking features of Mr. Keynes 'sbook is the political inexperience, not to say ingenuousness, which it reveals.. . . He believes it would have been wise and just to demand from Germany payment of £2,000,000,000 'in final settlement of all claims without furtherexamination of particulars.'"
THE ATII EN MUM, Jan. 23, 1920.— "This book is a perfectly well-equipped arsenal of facts and arguments, to which every one will resort for yearsto come who wishes to strike a blow against the forces of prejudice, delusion, andstupidity. It is not easy to make large numbers of men reasonable by a book,yet there are no limits to which, without undue extravagance, we may not hopethat the influence of this book may not extend. Never was the case for reason-ableness more powerfully put. It is enforced with extraordinary art. Whatmight easily have been a difficult treatise, semi-official or academic, proves to beas fascinating as a good novel."
