MRS.W|LSONNAMES
BIOGRAPHY AUTHOR
Ray Stannard Baker to Have
Unfettered Access to All
Records.
By the Associated Press.


Woodrow Wilson's life and letters
the long awaited authorized biog-
raphy and compilation of papers of
the great war President-will be done
by Ray Stannard Baker of Amherst,
Mass. although the work will begin
Immediately it may require several
years before it is ready for publica-
tion.
Mrs. Wilson, in making her de-
cision as the former Presidents
executor was fortified by the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Wilson himself prob
ably would have selected Mr.. Baker
for the work had he lived long
enough to arrange II.
For among Mr.. Wilson's papers was
found the last letter he wrote before
his final illness came upon him, and
it was addressed to Mr.. Baker, prac-
tically promising him access to the
precious papers which comprise the
inside story" of the great war the
peace at Paris and Mr.. Wilson's life
itself. The letter never was sent.
It was dictated on January 25, 1924,
when Mr.. Wilson already was be-
ginning to fail, and on February 3
he died.
Text of Letter.
The letter read as follows;
Every time that you disclose your
mind to me you increase my admira-
tion and affection for you.
Il always dislike to make or even
intimate a promise until I have at
least taken some step to facilitate
my keeping it. l am glad to promise
you that with regard to my personal
correspond ence and similar papers, |
oba ri 9 r T cd
creditor, and shall expect to afford
you the first-and if necessary ex-
Clusive-acCess to those papers.
But l have it on my conscience
that you should know that | have
not made the smallest beginning to-
wards accumulating and making ac-
cessible the papers we have in mind.
I would rather have your interpEe1
tation of them than that of anybody
else ! know, and ! trust that you
will not think it unrea sonable that
I should ask you to- accept these
promises in lieu of others which
would be more satisfactory but which
| for the present would be without
practical value.
Pray accept assurances of my un-
qualified confidence and affectionate
regard
Baker Apprised OF Plans.
Mrs. Wilson said yesterday that, un-
til after she had completed arrange
ments to do the work, Mr.. Baker was
not aware of the existence of the un-
sent letter.
The material TO be placed in Mr..
Bakers hands," said Mrs. Wilson,
contains the entire private record
in letters and documents of Mr.. Will
sons service as President, which in
cludes two of the greatest events in
| history-the war and the peace. Part
! of this record is the immense private
| correspondence of the presidency,
some 10000 letters and other innu-
merable documents. There are many
| of Mr.. Wilson's own memoranda,
! som times written In shorthand
which he used in making his notes.
and many written by him on his own
! typewriter These notes will indi-
! cate the origin of many of his
! speeches and illuminate many of his

Prophets Disappointed.

The obvious peaceable adjournment
of the Chamber, without the breaking
of the expected storm, caused discom-
future mostly to the dozens of foreign
correspondents, who had rushed to
Italy few days ago to be on hand
to describe the wreckage of the Mus
solini regime.
The impending disaster had been
advertised widely for more than a
| month by the would-be politically
weather-wise. who thought they saw
on the horizon signs of a breakup
The opposition press began by re-
porting disorders which, the Fascist
claim, were intended to reflect dis
credit on the Fascist. Then, at what
was considered the psychological mo-
ment, the famous Rossi Memorandum
was launched to the accompaniment
of considerable stage thunder, thus
working the public both in Italy and
abroad up to crescendo of excite
ment.

Fall Predicted.

The campaign became so intense
that Premier Mussolini stepped in
with a counter-attack by virtually
suppressing the opposition press and
taking extraordinary measures to
preserve order. AT about the same
time, the premier made a speech in
the Chamber, threatening to ami
hilate the opposition within As hours.
This move on Mussolinis part was
interpreted by the opposition as indi-
eating that the storm had broken,
consequently the much advertised fall
of the Fascist was described in a
number of cable dispatches as immi-
nent.
The session of the Chamber, how
ever, came and went without the
spectacle of Mussolini's falling, so
the special writer's have begun to
trickle out of-the country, one by one.
How long the political atmosphere
will remain tranquil is an, open con-
lecture, but impartial observers are
inclined to lay wagers that Mussolini
will remain at his post for many
moons to come.
For the first time since Premier
Mussolini presented in the Chamber
of Deputies his measure dealing with
secret societies.. the Observatore
Romano the official Vatican organ
comments today on the bill, denying
the assertion that the Holy See was
