From the Paper:

"During the period of 1919-1923, Ho became quite an activist for the Communist Movement then afoot throughout Europe and other places such as his native Asia, specifically Vietnam. He was in fact one of the founders of the French Communist Party. He studied, wrote, lectured, and organized on several fronts. He, in 1919 when President Wilson was in Paris for the Versailles Peace Conference, tried to meet with the President. He was totally rebuffed and Isolationist United States did not even consider his proposals for Vietnam's independence. A mistake which costs us dearly in the not too distant future as we all are aware of in so many ways."
