Paris Peace Conf. 183.9 Brazil/2: Telegram

The Commission to Negotiate Peace to the Acting Secretary of State

90. [From Lansing.] Your 89, December 21, 8 p.m. Please inform Brazilian Ambassador [Foreign Minister?] that I fully sympathize with his difficulties and embarrassment, and that the American Commissioners will be most happy to lend their good offices at the appropriate moment with a view to arranging if possible for Brazil’s representation at the Peace Conference. It would seem advisable for Brazil to send one or more delegates provisionally to Paris, as has been done by China and presumably by others of the less important allied countries. Lansing.
