File No. 763.72119/967½
The Special Representative ( House) to President Wilson
I intend to offer this resolution for approval of the Inter-Allied Conference:
The Allies and the United States declare that they are not waging war for the purpose of aggression or indemnity. The sacrifices they are making are in order that militarism shall not continue to cast its shadow over the world and that nations shall have the right to lead their lives in the way that seems to them best for the development of their general welfare.
If you have any objections, please answer immediately. It is of vast importance that this be done, the British have agreed to vote for it.
