Wilson warns reservations to Article X threaten treaty
President Wilson in Cheyenne argues that adopting any Senate reserve on Article X would amount to rejecting the treaty and pursuing a separate peace with Germany. He condemns “empty noise” from pro-China friendship advocates and urges a definitive stand on the league covenant amid looming showdown. He warns failure to join now risks exclusion from the pact and displacement of U.S. obligations.
