To help discussion along and guide it along a couple paths I have not seen it go on before, I have enumerated a list components of Wilsonianism:

What would a Hughes Administration position be on:


a) Mexico


b) Separate AEF or amalgamation w/Allied unit


c) Armistice or unconditional surrender



d) Anything like the 14 points


There would still be indigenous demand for ethnic successor states, there might be similar domestic political benefits to be seen supportive of ethnic demands, France wants to create a string of potential eastern allies against Germany [but are some ethnic groups more affordable to offend than others?]


e) Differences in final settlement in terms of borders



f) Differences in terms of US ratifying treaty

g) Differences in partisan dynamic

h) U.S. amenability to a postwar alliance with one or more powers

i) Differences over Russian revolution and support for Whites

j) Differences over Far Eastern aspects at Versailles and also later on

k) Differences over Italian territorial claims

l) Possibility of more sanguine view of Japanese effort in Russian Far East, Qingdao, Manchuria,

m) How curmudgeonly would TR be about Hughes Administration policy?

n) differences over the disposition of Yap and Micronesia?

o) differences over the existence and founding charter of a League
