President Wilson seeks Republican debate on peace treaty
President Wilson invites Republican senators to the White House to discuss the peace treaty and the League of Nations. Senator Lodge and about fifteen Republicans are named for possible conferences, with invitations likely extended beyond the Foreign Relations Committee. The move aims to ease executive relations with the Senate as talks may start after committee review. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee also seeks treaties and agreements involving China and Japan to better assess the Shantung issue in Versailles.
