Secret 1918 Armistice Standoff Warned by House to Allied Leaders
In June 1918, Colonel Edward M. House warned Lloyd George and Georges Clemenceau that the United States might withdraw from World War I if peace negotiations did not include Wilson's Fourteen Points and freedom of the seas. House indicated he would inform premiers that new terms could push the US to seek Congress guidance on continuing the war. France then dropped plans for a formal critique of the 14 points.
