treaty of peace"-with Germany
and the scheme of the League of
Nations was bound up in this.
The resolution of ratification
was known as the Lodge resolu

This ; resolution accepted r the
League of Nations but amended
it in such ways as to make con

President -Wilson has stated
several times that he did not ' ap
prove of thechange and most of
the, Democratic Senators voted
against ; , the Lodge resolution.
A few Republicans" voted
against it also because they wert
absolutely opposed to the League
