Taft Attacks Senate Reservation On League Covenant
Senator Lodge’s second reservation to Article X is challenged as broader and more drastic than Hughes or McCumber proposals. The piece argues the clause eliminates Article XX and the mandatory Article XVI boycott, weakens Articles XVII and XVIII, and signals the United States will not bind itself to world peace. Voting for the reservation is equated with defeating the league, aligning against Knox Borah Johnson and the treaty. Copyright Public Ledger Co. 1919.
