What Does George Creel Mean In Chapter 4 Apush

1. George Creel: The Committee on Public Information was created to rally public support of war. It was headed by George Creel. His job was to sell America on the war and sell the world on Wilsonian war aims. The Creel organization employed thousands of workers around the world to spread war propaganda. The entire nation was as a result swept into war fever.
2. Eugene V. Debs: The Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 reflected fears about Germans and antiwar Americans. Kingpin Socialist Eugene V. Debs was convicted under the Espionage Act and sentenced to jail for ten years.
3. Bernard Baruch: In 1918, Wilson appointed Bernard Baruch to head the War Industries Board in order to impose some order on the economic confusion.
Herbert Hoover: Herbert C. Hoover led the Food Administration. Hoover rejected issuing ration cards and, to save food for export, he proclaimed wheatless Wednesdays and meatless Tuesdays, all on a voluntary basis.

National Woman’s party lead by Quaker activist Alice Paul were pacifists. The larger part of the suffrage movement, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, supported Wilson’s war—leaders echoed Wilson’s justification for fighting by arguing that women must take part in the war effort to earn a role in shaping the peace
Reduction of armament burdens was gratifying to taxpayers.
5. An adjustment of colonial claims in the interests of both native people and the colonizers was reassuring to the anti-imperialists.
The largest achievement, #14, foreshadowed the League of Nations - an international organization that Wilson dreamed would provide a system of collective security.
10. Article X: Senator Lodge and other critics were especially alarmed by Article X of the League of Nations because it morally bound the US to aid any member victimized by external aggression. A jealous Congress wanted to reserve for itself the constitutional war- declaring power.
11. Henry Cabot Lodge: Senator Lodge, a critic to the president, came up with fourteen reservations to the Treaty of Versailles. These safeguards reserved the rights of the U.S. under the Monroe Doctrine and the Constitution and otherwise sought to protect American sovereignty.
After the Senate rejected the Treaty twice, the Treaty of Versailles was defeated. The Lodge-Wilson personal feud, traditionalism, isolationism, disillusionment, and partisanship all contributed to the defeat of the
