Politically...yes.
The dumping of the 'League of Nations' the main feature of the Treaty for the US did in fact reflect the ending of progressivism as being dominant in US politics. it reflected the country 'turning inward', turning it's back on the outside world and the return to political power of the conservative/ right wing/ old fashioned republicans. It also was the political end of Woodrow Wilson (who was due to retire anyway).
However....progressivism....continued in fashion, morals, art, literature, technology, inventions... during the... 'roaring 1920's'.... despite official disapproval of the dour republican government.
*Yes...the treaty was progressive in creating a world 'League of Nations' sponsored by the US, that was the only main part of the Treaty to effect the US, so in that way it 'was' progressive....for the US and those countries in the 'League'. The Treaty's repressive features were all set in Europe over US objection.
No. It reflected the end of Woodrow Wilson, politically and his brand of Progressivism. It was vigorously revived by FDR in 1932. The Treaty was more repressive than progressive.
