THE LEAGUE RUNS INTO TROUBLE 195 in presuming that he still could make everything work by setting up the League of Nations as drafted, Woodrow Wilson was compromising with his own intelligence. On the same day that the treaty was signed, Colonel House wrote in his diary: My last conversation with the President yesterday was not reassuring. I urged him to meet the Senate in a conciliatory spirit; if he treated them with the same consideration he had used with his foreign colleagues here, all would be well. The Peace Conference had opened informally in Paris on January 12, 19 19. Peace was signed at Versailles on June 28 by the treaty plenipotentiaries of Germany and the Allied Powers. President Wilson presented the treaty to the Senate in July and in the same month it was ratified by the National Assembly of Germany. By the end of October it was ratified by the governments of Great Britain, Italy, France, and Japan. It was defeated in the United States Senate on November 19. There lies a vital phase of our story.
