The Ambassador in France ( Sharp ) to the Secretary of State

Paris , November 19, 1918—12 midnight.
[Received November 20—11:58 a.m.]

5920. Department’s number 6282, November 15th. Mr. Pichon informs me in principle the French Government is willing to have China represented on the Supreme War Council, whenever questions involving China are concerned, but that he felt permission should be formally granted only upon the joint recommendation of France, Italy, Great Britain and the United States. He expressed the belief there would be no objection.
