As this volume opens, the Supreme War Council holds a long
session that results in an agreement on the military, naval, and
aerial terms to be imposed on Germany. The harmony of this meeting
is in stark contrast to the discord of the four heads of government
recorded in the balance of the volume. In the weeks covered by
these documents, controversy erupts over the disposition of the
Rhineland and demands by France to annex the Saar Basin. The fight
over reparations reaches a crescendo and is far from resolved as
the volume ends.
Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau, and Orlando agree to meet
secretly, away from the distractions of the Council of Ten, but
they are at another impasse by early April. Meanwhile Wilson
reconvenes the Commission on the League of Nations in order to
obtain amendments to the Covenant necessary for Senate approval of
a treaty that includes the Covenant. The statesmen in Paris
struggle with a host of difficulties, including the takeover of the
Hungarian government by the communist Bela Kun, and Wilson is faced
with problems in achieving de facto recognition of the Soviet
regime. In addition, he must deal with domestic controversy between
the Industrial Board and the Director General of Railroads.
