Treaty approved with reservations by Senate committee
The foreign relations committee approved the peace treaties with Germany Austria and Hungary but with two reservations similar to the Lodge approach. One requires congressional consent before any American on foreign commissions and the other protects property interests of citizens and the U S government.

Lodge said withdrawal of troops would begin after ratification and a small Rhine presence might remain. Leaders from both parties expect ratification is assured.
