Description
Wilson's message of December 2, 1919 opens the year's first volume. America then walks away from the conference table. It refuses seats on the treaty's new commissions. The delegation sails home on December 9. Ambassador Wallace stays on as an observer. The first Labor Conference meets without that machinery. A second Pan American financial conference is prepared. Gold clearance fund conventions appear in the list.
Old treaties die under the Seamen's Act. Norway, Spain, and Sweden settle their terms in files. A mid-volume paper promotes a Chinese-American bank. Chinese and American groups reach a deal in principle. Hsu sails to America to close it. The volume mixes retreat and routine. Empires of paper shrink; banks still charter.
