1. Free Beer on Fridays. This really pissed off the Temperance Movement.
Actually it was Plank #6, about evacuating Russia and letting them sort out their own affairs. Wilson knew a quagmire when he saw one.

But also #3 (removal of trade barriers) and #4 (reduction of arms) got short shrift.
Hmmm... they weren't too wild about #1, open agreements and rejection of secret deals.
