I see it this way. (Just my opinion)
It wasn’t for Wilson to say yay or nay on the war and he knew it. Back then, Congress held that power. Furthermore, when war broke out in 1914, Wilson began his machinations for trapping the USA into the conflict and any presentations he may have made in favor of neutrality were contrived and false.

I believe you are right as that is how it turned out. Interesti8ng thing I thought when reading about this again this year... Wouldn’t Biden love to take over all private manufacturing like this and ruin Christmas?
