Wilson Asks Advice From Peace Delegates Before Senate
Aug 22 report from Washington details Professor T. Williams testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the Shantung settlement. Williams, once a Far Eastern expert, described urging against both proposed German-to-Japan transfers and urged protecting Chinese rights. He noted President Wilson discussed alternatives with Lloyd George and that a broker provision was proposed to return German rights in China. Williams cited his resignation from the peace commission as not due to any single cause and said he received only a note from the president’s secretary after submitting a memorandum.
