...outlined its main phases. The whole nature of the world order at present indicates that in the future liberty must be guaranteed by some sort of central planning for the welfare of the people.

Here & there the rich harmony of approval for the Wilsonian idealism of the Points ran into discord. In the London Times, Britain's retired Diplomatic Adviser, Baron Vansittart of Denham, snorted: "His Majesty's Government did well to promise the restoration of France. But not this [Vichy] France. . . . It is useless to disguise the strength of British feeling against it.
