Col. House and the Versailles era legacy
Col. House served as President Wilson’s representative in the Supreme War Council at Versailles in 1917 and acted for the United States in the 1918 armistice negotiations. In later years he warned Roosevelt would not seek a third term and urged a strong merchant marine and navy to keep the world peaceful. He bookmarked the Treaty of Versailles as its last survivor among American signatories and remained a proponent of the League of Nations. His friendship with Wilson colored his view of wartime politics and the courtship of power.
