Changes in German treaty text reduce scope of reparations
The revised reparations section is largely verbal with few material changes. The main shifts involve interpretative assurances rather than terms, keeping Germany liable to compensate Allied states for civilian damage during wartime, while excluding Lusitania-specific reparations. The publication process remains state guarded, with copies limited and routed via unofficial channels to the Senate committee.
