“Now we are asked, in the making of peace, to sacrifice our sovereignty in important respects, to involve ourselves almost without limit in the
affairs of other nations and to yield up policies and rights which we
have maintained throughout our history. We are asked to incur

which no man can measure. I think it is not only our right but our duty
to determine how far we shall go. Not only must we look carefully to
see where we are being led into endless disputes and entanglements,
but we must not forget that we have in this country millions of people
of foreign birth and parentage."
Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, "The League of Nations Must Be Revised," 1919

his argument?

as a result, the citizens unanimously voted to boycott all british-made goods.
