He agreed with [[Theodore Roosevelt]] that the purpose of diplomacy was not to attempt the  impossible but to deal realistically with the existing balance of power. During World War I he was a staff assistant to Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, and a special  adviser to [[Colonel House]], President [[Woodrow Wilson]]’s top foreign policy advisor.  Lippmann helped draft Wilson’s [[Fourteen Points]] in 1918, which became the basis for ending the war and restructuring world affairs at the [[Paris Peace Conference]] in 1919, where he was advisor to House. In the 1920s he was editorial page editor of the influential Democratic newspaper the ''New  York World'', and sharply criticized the foreign policy of Harding and Coolidge for ignoring the League of Nations.  When the ''World'' closed in 1931 he started his newspaper column ''Today and Tomorrow'' for the Republican paper the ''New York Herald Tribune''. It was syndicated to 200 dailies across the country and continued until 1967.
