The Ambassador in Italy ( Page ) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 20—5 a.m.]
2380. The press states that the President and the Secretary of State are on their way to Paris. Learn also from members of Ministry here that they are informed from Paris that Mr. Wilson is coming to Europe. If he comes, he will be expected to visit Italy.
Both the King and Orlando have expressed great pleasure that he is coming and their belief that it be of great importance in enabling him to understand many problems.
His failure to visit Italy would have unfortunate and possibly serious effect upon our relations and would greatly increase existing tension between France and Italy.
Everyone here desirous of doing him all honor and all questions affecting official visits easily adjustable.
