wilson introduced him to an arts patron and supporter of president wilson. he helped support the artist in getting an education in rome, and eventually a phd, and going back to the philippines, where he became one of the great artists in the history of the philippines. it is interesting that woodrow wilson had a role in spurning -- spurring the career of a philippine artist who went on to live into the 1980's, and had an impact into his own countries beyond here. it is still amazing, the draping of the down, the figure of the woman, the child looking into the middle distance, presumably looking for peace, standing on a rock, under which you can see change, a crown, and a world war i helmet. it is symbolism, but also a favorite piece of president wilson. he passed away in this house, actually in this room, in 19.4. his widow lived here until 1961, 37 years after he passed. she left this house to the national trust for historic preservation, to be a memorial to president wilson. over his bed, we can see a work of art. it is a textile painted on wood frame, and

woodrow wilson did not wait. dispositions warning, september 4, 1919, he started west on a long, exhausting trip to carry his fight for ratification to the american people. ♪ many senators demanded reservations to the treaty. others were violently opposed to ratification in any form. it was not the fault of the case that troubled them so much, but the commitment to the league. some argued it created a superstate and argued under the covenant the league might force our nation into a war without the consent of congress. in 22 days, wilson made 40 addresses in 17 cities. he was against any change in the covenant of the league. the text was already signed by many nations. he insisted we had no right to change it now. ♪ on the 21st day of his crusade in colorado, he collapsed. the long strain had been too much. the president was rushed back to washington. he lay prostrate for months. these were the vital months when the crucial titles over the league and the treaty were being waged in the senate. twice the senate vote

wilson -- had mr.d just two decades longer he would of seen the dragon's teeth sowed in versailles bring another equally terrible war. out of this second world war, he would of seen the rise of the league concept again under the name of the united nations. this new organization to peace clearly follows the pattern of woodrow wilson posit league accept for one important particular. woodrow wilson would never have agreed to accept dictators to membership. and when mr. wilson died, his epitaph may well have been the oration delivered by pericles 2000 years ago over the greeks who had given their lives for their country. so they gave their bodies to the commonwealth and received, each memory, praise that will never die and with it the grandest of all sepulchers -- not one in which their mortal bones are laid, but a home in the minds of men where they remain fresh to stir to speech our action as the occasion comes by it. for the whole earth is a sepulcher of famous men and their story is not graven only on

great.ir power was that, woodrow wilson new. that woodrow wilson knew. woodrow wilson was presented with problems besides making the peace. raising the curtain on the raging famine of hundreds of millions of april. there was more than famine to contend with. a great typhus epidemic was raging in eastern europe. millions had already died and millions more would die unless there was quick action to control it. the blockade was continued for 4.5 months after the armistice despite the napplied -- problems,t with woodrow wilson still supported the greatest battle against famine and pestilence in the history of the world. a letter from my organization to the president asking for millions of money brought an immediate reply on the margin. .pproved, w.w,. february 1919, the president had mean return for the opening of congress on march 4. his firstme to meet rebuff. senate ledof the new by senator lott had signed a protest resolution that the constitution of the league of nations in the form proposed to the piece of conference should not be accepted. the preside

i was a wilson fellow in the early 1980's and rose most of my pulitzer prize-winning at the wilson center. was in those days, it the smithsonian castle building, presided over by jim billington, his assistant, and sam wells. is sam wells still affiliated? >> yes, he is. mr. mcdougall: god bless him. back in those days in the smithsonian castle, there was virtually no security in the building. those were the days, right? today andhat readers certainly in the future will assume that the author of this book intended it to be a swansong, the somber reflection of an aging historian about his nation's ascent to great power and glory only to see that sacrificed through hubris and nemesis. nothing could be further from the truth. i never intended to write this book at all. [laughter] mr. mcdougall: following publication in 2004 and 2007 of two lengthy narratives on the american founding, then the civil war era, i expected to complete a trilogy with a volume on the progressive era that would. the united states through its maturation as a world power -- carry the united states through its maturatio

the europeans are receptive to what wilson is pushing. he will come out with the 14 points, his idea of what a modern, peaceful world will look like. he is all about creating peace more than he is about waging the war. he is met with cheering throngs everywhere he goes first. the more he sits down with the sharks in the tank, the less he is able to get what he wants. at the end, while the europeans like the idealism he is pushing, this is the ugliest war in human history. there is a wide belief, especially in france and italy, they need to get something in return for the sacrifices they have pushed. the most important people that woodrow wilson is not able to win over are the american people. his idea of the league of nations that will keep a great war from happening again does not resonate with the american people. we have made the world safe from democracy, we have done everything we possibly can. the europeans don't seem to want to buy what we are selling. when he comes back to the united states to sell his idea of the league of nation

wilson's measure. mr. speaker, but i also urge them to realize that failures of past policies and what got us here to this point with north korea, and not to allow the same mistakes to happen with respect to iran. thank you, mr. chairman, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: mr. royce reserves his time. mr. sherman. mr. sherman: i continue to reserve my time. the speaker pro tempe: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. mr. royce. mr. royce: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield two minutes to the gentleman from ohio, mr. chabot, a senior member of the foreign affairs committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. chabot: i thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise in support of house resolution 92, condemning north korea's development of multipreponderate -- multiple intercontinental ballistic missiles. without question, north korea's relentless efforts to develop ballistic missiles poses a serious threat to the security of the united state

good wilson's -- dr. wilson's commitment to national security was evident when she served in the house of representatives from 1998 to 2009. when she left the house after more than a decade of service. congress' loss was south dakota's gain. in 2013 she became the president of the south dakota school of minds and technology. she showed extraordinary skill leading a large institution. madam president, in sum, dr. heather wilson is a person of great intellect, strong management skills, and superlative character. i believe she will be an outstanding secretary of the air force which is why i strongly encourage my colleagues to confirm her without delay. madam president, confirming dr. wilson with dispatch is necessary to address the many challenges currently facing our military. after all, there are fundamental issues regarding the readiness of our armed services, especially the air force which must be confronted and resolved. although the lack of proper investment and training is evident in each of the milit

so alexander wilson did his calculation, audubon did his because he wanted to beat wilson, and he believed he had it down to, you know 1,700,380,000 -- again, he had , an exact number. he also wondered how long could this keep going on? because people shot the birds, and people were changing the habitat, and he raises the question, what is going to happen to the passenger pigeon population? he says well it is ok because , they reproduce four times faster than they are getting killed off. he did not live until 1914 to see the last passenger pigeon die in the cincinnati zoo. there is a long passage that you as a literary scholar would i am sure like. it is about 263 words and eight semi colons. it is one sentence that goes on forever the kind you would , circle on your students' papers. but he gives this whole description of ecological change in america. there used to be forest, now we have villages. people are cutting down trees, the animals leaving and so forth. he goes through this long long , description about what has happened in the course of his time of being in america only 20 years.

it's built-in -- it builds into the wilson center's broader agenda. archives, youli will see quite quickly that it was in fact the israelis who came in as the new providers of security to train of the tanzanian security intelligence services, completely overhauling the architecture of the british and handed over independence. 1967, due tohrough the six day war, it would appear, and i'm still looking at to gain a managed foothold out of the principal trainer of choice in tanzania. similarly, in 1964 following the east african mutinies in tanzania, can you, and uganda, the president in tanzania rather than offering the training and overhaul of his military to one particular state to ask the british to train his navy, the west germans to train his air force, and the chinese, russians, and canadians to train his army, which as you can imagine, led to quite a number lines, but he'd was doing this because you did not want to become too depended on one particular state. he did not want to become too dependent on one particular state. it is the liaison betwee

ellen wilson who was wilson's long time wife, mother of his children, confident. and she was also the first first lady to earn her own money as a painter. she could have been a professional. in those days, a woman painter -- even today, women painters are given less attention than men -- and she was not able to do that full-time. but one of the things she did was raise money, she sold some paintings and gave the money away to charity. it underlines that she was someone who made her own income. she also was an activist. these women, nelly and ellen, are much like florence in their activism, as you will see. one of the things she was concerned about -- i don't know what you can tell -- this is an alley in washington, a said, depressed, part of washington. this is where african-americans lived in slums. , she was very concerned. ellen wilson wanted to change it and help them. it was called the alley bills. the government put this together and tried to change things. unfortunately, ellen died about a year and a half into the presidency of wilson. and so there was not

president wilson sent in the u.s. marines at that time. i was wondering if there are any exhibits or materials concerning the u.s. marines' present in haiti. host: he does not work for the museum. do you know the haitian story? we talked about it is a global conflict. even caribbean nations were involved in the fighting? guest: a lot of people do not know by the time the u.s. entered world war i, the army, the draft, the national guard, the marines had more experience than the united states army marines were sent to haiti and santo domingo. there were troops earlier on in korea. the marines were known as the troops that would go anywhere, fight anywhere. they were mobile infantry troops. when the u.s. got into the war, the marines were cast aside. i do not know if that had to do directly with the world war rather than she mentioned about the instability there. i am not up on enough of my marine corps issues to know if it directly correlated to the world war, but it is a segue to the fact that the marines had to fight their way into serving

francine wilson was 69. the artist who created the iconic rainbow flag of the gay rights movement, gilbert baker, has died. baker, who liked to call himself the "gay betsy ross," created the flag in 1978, and it was first carried at the gay pride parade that year in san francisco, where friends gathered last night to commemorate baker and his legacy. baker said each of the flag's colors had meaning, such as red for life, orange for healing and blue for peace. gilbert baker died at his home in new york city yesterday. he was 65. on pbs newshour weekend sunday, how brexit could affect daily life in the british territory of gibraltar. >> what is going to happen with all the groceries and the shoes and other things we export from spain to the u.k.? >> sreenivasan: finally, speaking to business leaders in columbus, ohio, today, vice president mike pence predicted president trump's supreme court nominee, judge neil gorsuch, will win senate confirmation next week "one way or another." republicans would need six dem

and the europeans are actually receptive to what wilson is pushing. his idea of what a modern peaceful world would look like. he is all about creating the peace more than waging the war. and in the beginning when he arrives and he arrives in europe shortly after the arm cyststist the wmore he sits down with the sharks the less he is able to get what he wants. at the end this is the ugliest war in human history. there is a wide belief especially in france and in italy that they need to get something in return for the sacrifices that they have pushed. the most important people that wilson is unable to win over are the american people that his idea of a league of nations that will keep a world war from happening again does not resonate with the people. europeans don't seem to want to really buy what we are selling. so when he comes back to the united states to try to sell his idea of the league of nation the senate shuts him down. when it comes to other political changes, of course, the role of 33,000 women serve in uniform in world war i, several hundre

so alexander wilson, did his calculation, it out of did his because he wanted to beat wilson, and he believed he had it down to 1.7 billion 380 -- again, he had an exact number. he also wondered how long could this keep going on? because people shot the birds, people were changing habitats, and he raises the question, what will happen to the passenger pigeon population? he said it is ok because they reproduce four times faster than they are getting killed off. he did not live until 1914 to see the last passenger pigeon died in a cincinnati zoo. that youa long passage as a literary scholar would like. it is about 263 words and eight semi colons. it is one sentence that goes on forever, the kind you would apers. on your students' p but is a big description. we have people cutting down trees, animals leaving and so forth. he has a long description about what has happened in the course of his time of being in america only 20 years. then he says, whether it is good or bad, i can't tell. he walks away from it. he has a habit of doing that on every controversial issue he encounters from nat

i want to tell you about ellen wilson who came before edith. she was his longtime wife and mother of his children. she also earned her own money as a painter. she could have been a professional in those days. as a woman painter even today, women painters are given less attention than men, and she was not able to do that full-time. but she did raise money, she sold some paintings and gave the money away to charity. it underlines that she was someone who made her own income. she also was an activist. these women, nelly and ellen are much like florence in their activism. one of the things she was concerned about, i don't know what you can tell, this is an alley in washington, a set part of washington, this is where african-americans lived in slums. she was very concerned. she wanted to change it and help them. it was called the alley bills. unfortunately, ellen died about a year and a half into the presidency of wilson. it was not put into place. it is interesting because i think when we think of the wilson's, we think of the southern racists, esp

mitchell: for one thing, wilson ran on his reelection platform on keeping the u.s. out of the war, which some were against. theodore roosevelt was still active, even though he was not in office, was a proponent of war. there was a huge war preparedness movement. some folks were saying it is about time we get into the war. others said, do we really need to get into this war? this is not america's problem. but the fact that our ships, merchant ships were being sunk. some of them were actually carrying armaments. in the eyes of the germans, they were warships. susan: what country are they in? mitchell: i'm guessing this would be france. it is hard to tell because pretty much all of the western front was torn up like this. it could be belgium. susan: the unique aspect of world war i was trench warfare. allison, tell us about that. allison: trench warfare is probably the most iconic battlefield aspect of world war i. it certainly did not define the entire world war, but at least on the western front where a lot of the british are focused right now. what happened was that
