France US pledge to aid France if attacked
President Wilson sent a special Franco American treaty to the Senate promising immediate US military aid to France in case of unprovoked German aggression. He framed it as a temporary supplement to the Versailles treaty and the league covenant, to be reviewed with the peace terms. The message, read in open session, noted allied promises and the need for rapid action without awaiting league advice.
