Wilson and Senate Debate Ratification of League Pact
In a historic White House conference, President Wilson outlined the League Covenant, answered senators questions, and warned against embedding interpretations in ratification. He said the United States must consent to Article ten and that only Congress can commit force, while Japan pledged no sovereignty over Shantung. Reuters notes the exchange covered treaty language, future treaties, and possible delays.
