First open move for compromise in league of nations fight
Washington August 20. The first open move for a compromise in the league of nations fight came from the administration quarter. Senator Pittman of Nevada introduced a resolution embodying four reservations agreed on by seven Republican senators. The plan would keep reservations separate from ratification, while Republicans insist they be part of ratification. Pittman suggested adopting the resolution and sending it to other powers on the league council. The debate followed with Pittman saying it reflected Wilson's views, though he admitted the administration may not accept further concessions, fearing renewed negotiations with Germany if reservations are tied to ratification.
