The Secretary of State to President Wilson

Washington, December 2, 1919.

My Dear Mr. President: I feel that I must call your attention to this telegram from Mr. Polk which reached me late last night.20

I do not think that it changes the matter in the least but in view of the last paragraph I feel a reply should be immediately sent to Mr. Polk saying that your decision of yesterday was final and that we expect the Commission to sail on the sixth as planned.

Will you please let me know at once if I am not correct in this so that I can telegraph Mr. Polk to that effect?

Faithfully yours,

Robert Lansing
