Woodrow Wilson Papers

President Wilson to the Special Representative ( House )

11. On second thought it occurs to me that Versailles may be the best place for the peace conference where friendly influences and authorities are in control rather than Switzerland which is saturated with every poisonous element and open to every hostile influence in Europe.1

Referring to your number 572 your reply to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs about Austrian forces in the Ukraine I altogether approve.
