President Wilson to the Secretary of State

My Dear Mr. Secretary: Thank you for sending me Mr. Phillips’ memorandum about the question put by Mr. de Laboulaye.47

I think that it would be a mistake for the British and French Governments to address the Japanese Government with the request that Japan should send troops to the West Front next spring and summer, but, of course, I do not wish to press the objection and think it would be unwise to raise one.

Cordially and sincerely yours,

Woodrow Wilson
