Dear Governor

I am enclosing you a copy of a letter which has just come from Ackerman and which I think is full of interest.

I have seen both Jusserand and Reading today. Jusserand already thought largely as we do in regard to the Japanese excursion into Russia, and I think I talked Reading out of his position and into ours. He tried to argue but could not maintain his position, and agreed to send a cable to his government this afternoon advising them to conform with your ideas in the matter.115 East 53rd Street, New York.March 6, 1918.P. S. I suggested to Frank Polk that he tell the Japanese Charge, when he delivered your note, that the position you take is the same position their representatives took at the Inter-allied Conference in Paris, and with whom I cordially agreed.

Affectionately yours,
EM House
