Paris Peace Conference (1919-1920); World War, 1914-1918 -- Territorial questions
The published records of the Paris Conference are limited to the
official reports of the plenary sessions and the official text of the
treaties, in French and English, with authoritative maps, subject
to correction after the frontiers have been fixed on the spot. The
proceedings of the Council of Ten and the Council of Five were kept by
a regular secretariat, those of the Council of Four less officially
and systematically; these minutes were manifolded but not printed. The
minutes of the various commissions, while printed, have not been made
public.
The German and Austrian treaties and related documents are printed
as supplements to the _American Journal of International Law_ since
July 1919. The German treaty is also printed as a Senate Document
and as a publication of the American Association for International
Conciliation. The entire series of treaties is best available in
the British _Parliamentary Papers_, Treaty Series, 1919 and 1920. A
bibliographical list of all these treaties by Denys P. Myers is to be
published by the World Peace Foundation, _League of Nations Series_,
iii, no. 1. _Documents and Statements relating to Peace Proposals and
War Aims_, December 1916 to November 1918, have been edited by G.
Lowes Dickinson (London and New York, 1919).
There is as yet no memoir literature by members of the Conference.
Some confidential papers are printed in the _Hearings before
the Committee on Foreign Relations_ of the United States Senate
(Washington, 1919), but these do not concern territorial problems.
Some things touching France will be found in the report of the
Barthou committee to the Chamber of Deputies, supplemented by the
articles of A. Tardieu in _L’Illustration_ since February 1920. The
official German criticisms of the Treaty of Versailles were published
in various languages and have been freely reproduced by pro-German
writers in other countries. A _Kommentar_ in six volumes has been
prepared by one of the German delegates, Walter Schücking.
