Berlin treaty viewed differently by German and American press
The Vossische Zeitung calls the Berlin protocol a frame for future negotiations with Germany, while the German press welcomes it as a device to divide the United States from the Allies. The New York World argues Harding and Hughes used Harvey's Pilgrim Society speech to strip the pact of noble aims, claiming it settles why Americans died and justifies private German claims. Debates on ratification continue with Congress in recess and uncertain Democratic support.
