The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in China ( Reinsch )
Washington
, December 13, 1918—2 p.m.
The Department is reliably informed that the Southern party desires that there be a delegate from the south on the peace delegation in order that the delegation may have a national aspect. Such a step might be a means of promoting closer relations between the north and the south and you may at your discretion mention the matter quite informally to the proper authorities.
