expressed that he assume the task OF Great

allied governments sitting in Paris to
execute the war policies OF the allied democ-
racfes. This can be achieved by the ap-
pointment of Secretary Lane or Colonel
House to advise with the prime ministers
OF all these governments. But thus far the
United States has held aoof from the present

follows:
