Saturday, January 25, 1919. The League of Nations Formed.

Lots of distressing news about, but perhaps time to relax on a cold Saturday with a copy of the latest weekly journals.



Those journals, I suppose, gave the readers a hot and cold option.

The assembly of nations meeting in Paris elected, on this day, for the option of establishing a League of Nations, an idea that had been much discussed in the concluding months of the Great War and which President Wilson supported.


Of course, as it would turn out, the U.S. Senate didn't support the League, and the U.S. never joined it.
