Paris Peace Conf. 182/18: Telegram

The Secretary of State to the Acting Secretary of State 19

U. S. S. “George Washington ,” December 8, 1918—5 p.m.

6. Your Number 7, 11 a.m.20 For Colonel House. The President requests that final conclusions with regard to all the resolutions taken at the Conference in London on the 2d of Dec. 11 a.m., be withheld until his arrival in Paris and regards this as imperative to prevent misunderstandings.

He is satisfied with your position with regard to the resolutions passed at the subsequent meetings of the Conference except that he reserves judgment as to restricting labour conference to a neutral country where hostile influences are more likely to have free access.
