ABSTRACT

In Paris, the Peace Conference was over; and the German delegates were to sign the Peace Treaty at Versailles on the afternoon of June 28th. At 11 am that morning, the Council of Four, at their last meeting, again considered Churchill’s proposal about the Czech troops, and approved a draft wire to Kolchak, subject to the agreement of the Supreme War Council. If Kolchak agreed, the Allies would then ask the Prague Government to cooperate. ‘To avoid subsequent misunderstanding, it is pointed out that there can be no question of retaining any of the Czechoslovak troops once their junction with Archangel forces has been affected’, it was underlined.1
