The third step, of course, will be the Peace Congress
itself, which will take place at Versailles, with headquarters at Paris. The Congress will begin as early in January as possible. It is scarcely possible that all the British Dominions can be represented at the Congress, as the number of British representatives would then be in excess Of those of any other of the Allied nations. It is proposed tentatively that the British Empire should be represented by Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Boner Law, Mr. Balfour, Lord Reading, a Labour delegate, and a delegate or delegates of the Dominions. it is not unlikely that France will be represented by M. Clemenceau, M. Briand, M. Tardieu, and M. Bourgeois. As for the United States, the proposed delegates are President Wilson, Mr. Elihu Root, Mr. Lansing, and Colonel House.
