Wilson Will Kill Treaty With Lodge Article X
President Wilson intends to kill the peace treaty by opposing ratification with the Lodge Article X reservation. A Democratic Senator stated the strategy shaped Hitchcock’s shift to defeat rather than push ratification. The administration seeks to place responsibility on Republicans and avert full accountability for any failure. The Senate adjourned after a tense session amid disclosure of bipartisan plots to block the treaty, with calls to revive it if rejected.
