Smallest possible delegation to pace peace conference favored
Washington reports say allies favor a minimal plenipotentiary count, with not more than two or three delegates per power and perhaps a single representative per nation. Officials foresee a five member body or a one per nation commission to speed business, aiming for early session and a U.S. presentation by President Wilson’s staff. The push centers on forming the league of nations while maps and central power arrangements await final decisions.
