Balfour Warning on Lodge Reservations and League
Arthur Balfour, British representative and former League of Nations chairman, warned that Lodge reservations by the United States would undermine the league. He argued other nations would seek similar rights, weakening all obligations, and that America entering with reservations could trigger a wave of similar demands and a weakened, or dead, league. The piece contrasts this view with calls for the Senate to reject the reservations instead of pursuing a “round about” path.

Silver Exports to India and China Rise in 1919 Totals
For the first 11 months of 1919 the value of silver exported to India amounted to $109,180.78, while China's share (including Hong Kong) was $60,125,178. For the first seven months of 199 the proportion was $108,273,177 to India and $17,468,606 to China and Hong Kong. This shows rapid growth in Chinese demand while Indian demand grew slowly. The Pittman act of 1918 limited silver shipments to India, ceasing in May 1919, and part of this silver factors into the 1919 totals, per U S Bureau of Mines.
