Paris Peace Conf. 184.82/7
The Assistant Secretary of the Commission to Negotiate Peace ( Harrison ) to the Secretary of the Commission to Negotiate Peace ( Grew )
I presented Mr. Baker’s request to the Commissioners at the meeting this morning, and Mr. Baker also spoke to them before their meeting with the newspaper correspondents.
It did not seem practical to have the newspaper correspondents attend the initial meeting of the Allied Delegates, if that is what was meant by Mr. Baker’s request. It is thought probable that provision would be made for the newspaper correspondents to be present at the first formal meeting of the Conference.
Mr. Baker has already been advised of the Commissioners’ views in this matter.
