President Wilson to the Secretary of State
Washington,
22 March, 1918
.
My Dear Mr. Secretary: I am much obliged to you for sending these papers to me so promptly, but I do not find in them sufficient cause for altering our position. They still do not answer the question I have put to Lord Reading and to all others who argue in favour of intervention by Japan, namely, What is it to effect and how will it be efficacious in effecting it? The condition of Siberia furnishes no answer.
Faithfully Yours,
W. W.
