Secretary Lansing tells Senate of open door policy at issue
Secretary Lansing testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the American draft for a league of nations was not pressed at Versailles and may no longer exist, and that a copy could be in President Wilson's possession. He discussed the Shantung matter, the Lansing Ishii agreement, and the open door policy with Japan and China, noting secrecy and limitations on disclosures. He said the United States sought no secret understandings and that expenses of the league would be set by Congress.
