Wilson Leaves England Quiet Over Clemenceau Attitude
President Wilson departed England seemingly unshaken by Clemenceau's stance on balance of power and planned to respond at the proper time. He telegraphed King George to thank him for hospitality and wish joint happiness and prosperity for Britain, while analysts see Clemenceau ready to concede points in the interest of peace. An Italian French deal had Italy to receive about 75 percent and France 25 percent of the Austrian mercantile marine to be used for food and supplies, flown under the International Merchant fleet with mixed crews. Foreign Secretary Balfour met Colonel House in Paris to discuss peace deliberations organization.
