Summary
  • In December 1918, soon after the end of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson sailed to France to participate in the Versailles peace conference, while fervent opposition to his proposal for a League of Nations coalesced in the U.S. Senate.
  • Uncle Sam is standing at a church altar with a bride labeled Foreign Entanglements. The altar is labeled Peace Proceedings. The minister reads from a book labeled League of Nations. A man labeled U.S. Senate breaks through the church window holding a scroll labeled "Constitutional Rights."
