Wilson Explains League Covenant on Ireland and Self-Determination
On board the presidential special train President Wilson outlines his interpretation of the league of nations covenant. He says the covenant does not bind the United States to suppress rebellion abroad nor limit recognition of a people's independence. Ireland’s case is not within Versailles jurisdiction, and a league forum will hear self-determination claims likely to affect world peace. The Q A covers U S obligations on rebellion, recognizing governments, and extending self-determination beyond defeated empires, with Ireland’s issue noted as outside direct jurisdiction.
