Edward M. House Papers: Telegram
The Special Representative ( House ) to President Wilson
Paris
, October
28, 1918.
3. Things are moving so rapidly that the question of a place for the Peace Conference is upon us. The French are urging Paris. The Belgians, Brussels. The only objection to Paris is that if a sharp difference should arise between one of the Allies and the French it might be embarrassing. Otherwise it is desirable. Will you not advise me as to your preference.
The Supreme War Council will not meet until Wednesday.
Edward House
