Peace Treaty Fight Bitter in Senate
In Washington on March 10 the peace treaty ratification battle in the Senate grew more bitter as Article 10 reservations remained unfinished business. About 20 Democratic senators met at a gathering called by Senator Owen. no concrete actions were taken though some predicted more Democrats might back ratification with revised Republican reservations. Debate on Article 16 suggested continued flux with little chance of reaching a two-thirds vote, as Democrats divided over Wilson’s letter and Republicans circulated their own reservations to Article 10.
