Excerpt from The Hoover War Collection at Stanford University, California, 1921: A Report and an Analysis Looking over the field Of work, it was evident that the immediate problem was not the war, but the Peace Conference, then drawing toward a close. Paris was crowded with dele gations, representing not merely nations having seats at the Peace Conference, or, if not members, having claims to pre sent to that conference, but also delegations from peoples desir ing to be established as states on the principle Of self-deter mination. In most cases existing states were represented in Paris both by the customary diplomatic Officials and by a dele gation, but for some of the lesser states the two functions were combined in the hands of the regular diplomats. A visit to the library of the American delegation at the Hotel Crillon showed that the great bulk Of the material gathered by Cap tain Gilchrist, in charge of that library, consisted of what was called delegation propaganda, intended to present claims and in uence decisions. Captain Gilchrist stated that many Of the earlier issues of such propaganda were already very difficult to Obtain, and he generously Offered to us such duplicates as might come to his shelves. This Offer was accepted, and throughout the work in Paris Captain Gilchrist showed himself a very generous and suggestive counselor.
