Questions to Wilson ask about peace and league powers
Senator Fall’s questions to President Wilson probe whether the executive can proclaim peace, how war ends with Germany, treaty effects, consular moves, and league formation. Wilson replies that he lacks power to declare peace by proclamation before treaty ratification and stresses honoring allies, restoring production, and cautious steps toward the league, with notes on ratification and overseas dispositions.
