Reichstag Votes Treaty Approval in Berlin
The Reichstag approved the peace treaty with the United States with debate curtailed. Communist Walter Stoecker denounced the pact as a mockery of Wilson's fourteen points and American capital's influence, while officials like Chancellor Wirth and Dr. Rosen observed the vote. The session showed little outward enthusiasm beyond Loebe's address.
