Excerpt from Woodrow Wilson and World Settlement Written, Vol. 3: From His Unpublished, and Personal Material This volume, it is hoped, will contribute vitally to the documentary record of America at Paris, illuminating not only the inside history of the Peace Conference, but exhibiting in the form of original letters, memoranda, and minutes, the underlying processes through which the final decisions were reached. Nothing could more clearly present the workings of the President's mind, or his intimate relationships with his advisers, than many of these documents; here are exposed the veritable procedures by which the Americans worked out their policies and came to their decisions. Relatively few of the sixty-nine documents here included have been published before; and all are referred to or quoted from in Volumes I and II of this book. They are all from Woodrow Wilson's private files, his own records preserved at Paris, except the following: From Norman H. Davis: Documents 49, 54, 55. From Bernard M. Baruch: Documents 29, 47, 60. From Professor Douglas Johnson: Documents 31, 32, 40. From Dr. Isaiah Bowman: Document 36. From Major General Mason M. Patrick: Document 61. From Ray Stannard Baker: Documents 4, 5, 6, 16, 21, 35, 38, 39, 43, 68, 69. It is a matter of great regret that the minutes of the Councils of Four, Ten, and Five, upon which so much of the narrative in Volumes I and II is based, have not yet been published.
