Lansing says American plan for League not pressed at Versailles
Secretary Lansing told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the American draft for the League of Nations was not pressed at Versailles and was never shown to the full Peace Conference. He did not know if any copy existed and suggested Wilson might hold one. He noted the open door reaffirmation with Japan was made without knowledge of a secret Anglo-Japanese treaty. He opposed providing the Senate with transcripts of League discussions on principle.
