1 drawing. World War I cartoon shows a gentleman (labeled "U.S. Senate") gazing in some perplexity at an enormous scroll (labeled "Peace Treaty") that has been left on his desk by President Wilson. After six months of negotiation at the Paris Peace Conference, President Wilson returned to Washington with the Treaty of Versailles for consideration and ratification by the United States Senate. The Treaty concluded the war with Germany and established a League of Nations. Because the president had not included any Senators in the American delegation, and the Republicans had regained control of the Senate in the 1918 elections, the prospects for ratification of the treaty were cloudy, and indeed in November 1919, the Senate rejected the treaty. No known restrictions on publication. (DLC/PP-1945.R1.91) Probably published in: The Evening star (Washington, D.C.) Wilson, Woodrow, 1856-1924 United States. Congress.
