Le Président des Etats-Unis, W. Wilson, au Chef du Département politique, F. Calonder1

I received your communication of the 22nd of March2 in which you make official offer to the League of Nations of the hospitality of Switzerland and invite the League to establish its seat in Switzerland. On Saturday I had the pleasure of reading your letter to the members of the Commission on the League of Nations which is sitting under the authority of the Peace Conference. No discussion of the matter took place but I was authorized to appoint a small committee to take the whole matter of the determination of the seat of the League under careful consideration, and I shall take real pleasure in placing your letter in the hands of that committee.

In the meantime may I not express warm appreciation of this generous offer on the part of the Swiss Government and people?
