Senators Get Little Light From Lansing
Washington August 6 secretary Lansing told the senate foreign relations committee that the Shantung provision did not square with President Wilson's self determination policy yet the treaty overall carried out the fourteen points. He said he was unfamiliar with many peace details and could not answer all questions, asking permission to refresh memory on several points and noting that Japan might have signed without Shantung. He made clear his personal opinions on German separation and Article X but distinguished between moral and legal obligations.
