Plan to Keep Japan Out of China Beatens Plan Sets Tone
Washington reports the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty was rejected by a 25 10 55 roll call after six and a half hours of debate. Lodge led the proposal with broad party divisions, as 14 Republicans joined pro treaty forces and 3 Democrats supported the amendment. Absent senators included six, with mixed affiliations. The vote effectively strikes out the word Japan and substitutes China in the Shantung provisions and related sections. Further actions focus on reparations commission representation and voting power in the League of Nations assembly. The debate drew 20 plus senators with speeches from Johnson Sherman La Follette for the amendment and Phelan McCumber against it.
