Colonel E. M. House to the Secretary of State
Dear Mr. Lansing:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In reply of yours of April 4th, I believe I would show Mr. W. J. Curtis’ letter to the President if a favorable opportunity presents itself. It is in line with what I have been saying to him.
One of the best parts of the President’s address was his statement in regard to democracy being essential to permanent peace and I know you are gratified beyond measure to have your idea brought to the fore so prominently at this time.
I am sorry I did not have a chance to talk with you and hope for better luck next time.
Sincerely yours,
[Received April 6.]
