Pandemonium in French Chamber over Peace Talks
The French Chamber of Deputies faced shouting fits after M Pichon defended government policy at the tribune. He affirmed publicity for the peace conference, a league of nations, no annexations with Alsace Lorraine frontier rights, limited Vatican representation, and cautious but possible Russian intervention. The session turned chaotic as socialists denounced the war and questioned delegates while budget votes loomed.

Nothing New in League Idea Senator Reed Tells Diners
Senator James A Reed of Missouri argued at a New York dinner that a league of nations is not a new idea but an ancient concept that has failed in practice. He warned the plan would fail the acid test of reason and experience and viewed it as surrendering powers reserved to Congress. He said the league would transfer to European governments the U S power to declare war raise armies and maintain navies.
