Wilson secret urged on Paris peace in 1919 by Col House
An account from Col. Edward M House recounts a 1924 visit in which he discussed Russia and Lenin with Davis and Kohlsaat. House described Wilson’s distant mood at the peace talks and noted Wilson’s illness. He recalled a June 1919 meeting with Clemenceau and Lloyd George and Wilson’s choice to bow out of a conversation with George. He claimed no personal grievance with Wilson and urged reelecting the administration as he saw fit.
