Dear Mr. Gilbert:

I am writing you to inquire whether you might agree to
serve on a panel on Wilsonian diplomacy sponsored by the
American Political Science Convention which meets in Washington
from September 6 to 8.

At this meeting two discussion leaders will present
papers and it will be the task of the panel to make comments
on them. The discussion leaders will be Quincy Wright and
McGeorge Bundy. I had hoped that I might induce you to serve
on the panel in the session at which McGeorge Bundy will read
his paper. What is involved is that sometime around July we
will send you the paper by Dean Bundy and I will call on the
members of the panel first to comment on his presentation. If
you would like to join both panels that would ease my task even
more.

Since the program is going to press in about two weeks,
I wonder whether you would be good enough to let me know as soon
as possible whether we can count on you for one or both of the
panels.

AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION

To: APSA Program Committee, Panel Chairman, and Authors of Panel Papers

From: Earl Latham, Amherst College

Subject: Procedures for Reproducing and Distributing Panel Papers

Following the 1954 Annual Meeting, the National Office of the Association distributed a questionnaire to members of political science departments concerning the duplication and sale of panel papers. An overwhelming percentage of those answering the questionnaire agreed that the practice of duplicating and selling panel papers at recent annual meetings should be repeated in the future.

We realize that it is occasionally difficult for the author of a panel paper to find the facilities to have his paper cut on a stencil, but only in this way can sufficient copies be made available to panel members and the stencil be available for running off additional copies to be sold. In order to insure a better format for the panel papers, and to get them distributed on time, the following procedure would seem desirable:

1. Authors of panel papers are requested to cut stencils for their papers, run off and distribute copies to panel members, and then mail the stencils to (The American Political Science Association, 1726 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington 6, D.C.; on or before August 1, 1956.)

2. To enable authors of papers to distribute copies to panel members, panel chairmen should provide authors of papers with a complete list of names and addresses of panel members prior to August 1, 1956.

3. Any mimeograph stencils will be provided they are of the long rather than the short variety. Panel papers should be cut single space and in a fashion so that they will reproduce on regular size (not legal size) paper.

4. It will not be possible to run off copies of stencils received after August 1, 1956. If the author of a panel paper finds it impossible to complete his paper prior to that date, it is requested that the author run off sufficient copies at the Annual Meeting. In such circumstances, the author will be reimbursed to the extent that proceeds from paper sales meet the expenses of reproducing the paper.

Almost all of those answering the questionnaire on panel papers in the November Newsletter agreed that panel papers should be sold for fifty cents plus an additional twenty-five cents per order to cover mailing after the Annual Meeting. Since all panel papers will not be sold in the same quantities and demand for the panel papers will differ, some papers will not yield as large a return as others. In any event, the charge of fifty cents should meet the cost of reproducing all of the papers and is not designed to return a profit to the Association.

Dear McGeorge:

In an unguarded moment I have promised Bill Fox that I would chair the meeting of the American Political Science Convention dealing with Wilsonian diplomacy.

I understand that part of my duties is to find discussion leaders as well as panel participants. The task of the discussion leader will be to prepare a paper on a topic that he considers significant. He should take about a half hour to present his paper and the rest of the time should be taken up by discussion. Possible foci of papers would be "Secret vs. Open Diplomacy," "The function of Summit meetings," and "The conduct of diplomacy through Messianic appeal." (Any other aspect that you find significant would be most acceptable, however.)

I would, therefore, like to take this opportunity to invite you to act as discussion leader and to present a paper to the panel on Wilsonian diplomacy. Quincy Wright has also agreed to supply a paper for one of the panels. If you do not wish to undertake this, perhaps you would agree to attend as a member of the panel. I am told that the program is going to press in ten days, so that I would appreciate hearing from you about this fairly soon. I hope you can make it.

Best regards.

April 2, 1956

Dear Mac:

That chairing political scientists is not my forte can
be seen by the fact that I neglected to give you either the
time or the place for the Political Science Convention. But
your surmise was correct. The meeting is in Washington from
September 6 to 8.

I am delighted, of course, that you have agreed to be
discussion leader. Since editors never do anything without
ulterior motives, I must warn you now that, in a little while,
I shall probably start harassing you about getting the paper
for *Confluence*. As you know, we have a symposium on Wilson
which includes Langer, Milton Katz, Adolph Berle, August
Heckcher, Carlo Schmid, and others.

Kind regards.

P. S. Did you receive an article I sent you called "Reflections on American Diplomacy?" I am asking only because I mailed it during the blizzard and, in retrospect, I am not clear whether the receptacle I threw it into was a mailbox.

Dear McGeorge:

I thought you might like to know about the other members who will be serving on your panel at the Political Science Convention. They are: William G. Carleton, University of Florida; Louis L. Gerson, University of Connecticut; Arno J. Mayer, Brandeis University; Rev. Brian A. McGrath, S. J., Georgetown University; Paul Seabury, University of California; and Vernon Van Dyke, University of Iowa. I have been urged by the program committee to attempt to obtain the papers by July 1st so that they can be mimeographed and distributed in advance of the meeting. I do not think that this is an absolute requirement, but it would be helpful if you would let me know when we can have your paper and also whether you have selected a title for it yet.

I may have told you that *Confluence* is planning a topic about Wilson in October and carrying through the next number. It promises to be one of the better things we have done. We already have articles from Langer, Milton Katz, Byron Dexter, Adolph Berle and August Heckcher, as well as from Carlo Schmid, Bertrand Jouvenel, Max Beloff and others. I would be very eager to have a contribution from you, either the paper which you are giving at the Political Science Convention or something else. Could you let me know about this?

I look forward to your talk here on the 22nd.

Kind regards.

Dear Henry:

I am glad to have your letter of May 10th, telling me who the other members of the panel at the Political Science Convention will be. But I do have to say that I see no chance whatever that I shall be able to prepare a paper by July 1st. The time between now and Commencement is even messier than usual for me, and within a week after that great day I hope to be sleeping soundly on the good Flandres, enroute to Europe for a short vacation. I had planned to do the paper in August, when I get back, and I had no idea that it would have to be mimeographed and distributed in advance of the meeting, though I can probably arrange to have it available for circulation to other members of the panel a week or so ahead of time.

I hope to see you when I come down to the Council next week, and when I get there we can perhaps have a word or two about the topic. I do not want to keep you in uncertainty if you have to know just what it's going to be, but I really have not thought about it very much yet. As for Confluence, if the paper turns out to meet your standards, I shall be glad to see it included among the distinguished company you have organized--but I fear it may well turn out that what I have to say is more for a Political Science Convention than for such a serious collection.

Dear McGeorge:

Thank you very much for your letter of May 23. I hope you do not think that I treated your participation on the panel of the American Political Science Convention too cavalierly. The fact is that I was laid up for four weeks with an unruly appendix which proved more complicated than these things usually are and that I had not been able to give any attention to this particular problem. You visited the Council during my second week back at the office and I may, for this reason, not have been too coherent about your topic.

I am still not sure that my suggestions will prove overly helpful. For whatever it is worth, I might tell you what would interest me were I asked to do a paper on Wilson. One topic that has seemed to me worth exploring is whether Wilson was so much of an idealist as is usually claimed, or whether his idealism did not represent the more "real" factors of the American scene. Byron Dexter hinted at some of this in an article he wrote for *Confluence* a few years ago and if you are interested, I shall be glad to send you a copy. Another possible focus might be a discussion of the function of negotiations in the 20th century. It could be argued that Wilson was one of the first to use negotiations as a forum to define a moral symbol rather than as a means to devise formulae to achieve agreement with the protagonist at the conference table. Another possible topic might be the problem of the war aims and the limits they put on the possibility of constructing a stable post-war international order. A final thought which is related to my first suggestion would be a piece about domestic notions of legitimacy and the impact they have on the conduct of foreign policy. The only topic that I know is preempted is "Wilson and the League of Nations" on which Quincy Wright is writing a paper.

Henry V. Klaasiger

Sincerely yours,

Kind regards,

I hope you will have a splendid time.
I was delighted to hear that you are going to Europe.

I highly recommend to any friend of mine.

Dear Henry:

1. I regret very much that a long-planned junket to Trinidad, where I am delivering myself of some lectures, makes it impossible for me to lunch with you on Monday. I seem to be having bad luck in this line, and I hope that the future may do me better.

2. Having sinned by non-attendance in past years I am planning to attend the APSA session at Washington. Such being the case I would be delighted to join your panel and comment on Quincy Wright - whose Study of International Relations I have just reviewed in slightly less than wholly flattering terms, but with due respect for an elder statesman. As for the second panel I am a little hesitant to commit myself, in total ignorance as to what the program and schedule will shape up to.

3. I have read (or re-read) your leading piece in Foreign Affairs with real pleasure and illumination. It continues to strike me as a very thoughtful and suggestive article which should lead on to much further thought and planning. It leads me, by natural progression, on to

4. which does no more than to applaud your suggestion that your move to Chicago should bring about no breach in contact between us. In particular, I very much hope that you will continue me on your mailing list for such further materials as you may be preparing and have available for circulation. I always find them stimulating and opening up interesting vistas of speculation.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

At long last, and having returned from my travels to Carlisle, I am in a position to write about the American Political Science Association panel sessions on Wilsonian diplomacy. The APSA meeting will be in Washington from September 6-8. Two sessions are planned on the topic "Wilsonian Diplomacy." Quincy Wright has agreed to prepare a paper for one of them. We have left it a little up in the air as to whether you have agreed to prepare the other paper or to preside over the two sessions. If the latter is your choice, then you will want to proceed in the very near future to select somebody to do the other paper. If, on the other hand, you choose to write the paper, I hope that you will let me know so that I can begin to shop around for another chairman. I understand from Earl Latham, the chairman of the APSA Program Committee, that the preliminary program is to go to press two weeks from today.

Three topics have struck me as possibly worthy of discussion, but the list is meant to be suggestive rather than restrictive. They are: (1) secret vs. open diplomacy; (2) summit meetings; and (3) diplomacy by messianic appeal to world opinion. Professor Wright has not indicated to me just what aspect of Wilsonian diplomacy he proposes to discuss, but I suppose the possibility of significant overlap is not very great. If you decide that you would rather not undertake to write a paper yourself, I have a number of suggestions of people whom you might wish to consider asking, but I will not bother you with these suggestions at this point.

However long a paper is in manuscript, not more than about twenty-five minutes of it ought to be read in the panel sessions. Four or five panel participants ought to be selected in advance so that they may have a chance to read the manuscript and be prepared to take the lead in discussing it. They should, however, be discouraged from preparing set papers which would be almost as long and almost as formal as the paper being discussed. If the panel participants are to have their names appear in the preliminary program, they too would have to be selected within the next two weeks.

The APSA will compile and distribute copies of the papers if they receive the typed stencils by July 1. Copies will be sent to panel participants and I suppose other interested parties in advance.

Any information which you can give me within the next ten
days on the progress you are making in organizing the panel
sessions for our international relations discussions at the
Washington American Political Science Association meeting in
September will be very much appreciated. The preliminary ed-
tion of the program goes to press on March 26 and I am anxious
to have this in as complete form as possible.

It is generally not considered desirable to use the same
person for more than one assignment. One practical reason is
that several of these sessions will run concurrently and com-
mitments to participate in more than one of them may turn out
to be incompatible. There is also, of course, the additional
consideration that it is desirable to broaden the base of part-
icipation.

In order to see what is being done with the other panel
sessions, I am enclosing a list of chairmen, paper-writers, and
panel participants. Under the heading "panel participants" I
have included not only those who have formally accepted but
also those who have been invited or whose invitation has been
discussed with the various panel chairmen. Where a person has
not formally accepted, I have put his name in parentheses.

It would also improve the appearance of the preliminary
program if the exact titles of the papers could be furnished.
Names and institutional affiliations should also be exact.

session at which McGeorge Bundy will read his paper. What is
involved is that sometime around July we will send you the paper
by Dean Bundy and I would call on the members of the panel
first to comment on his presentation. If you would like to join
both panels that would ease my task even more.

Best regards.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

My reply to your letter of April 2
has been delayed by out-of-town meetings and
pressing matters here at the University.

I shall be happy to serve on both
panels at the American Political Science Conven-
tion in September. I shall await further details
as the program progresses.

Looking forward to seeing you in the
not too distant future, I am

Dear Henry:

That would be good fun to be on Bundy's panel. I'll be glad to do it. I have no desire to make a double appearance, but I'll join Wright's group if you can't find anyone else.

Next week I hope to send you Part III of my manuscript. It's about as long as Parts I and II put together. During this month I expect to find time to write a concluding chapter, but I can only send you an outline of it when I send the other four chapters of Part III. I dislike this fragmentation, but it is the only way I can hope to get this work completed and read in time for the publisher. However, it would be foolish for you to break your neck reading the thing on that account. You have your own problems; so don't let my haste superimpose mine on yours. Just keep your head above the bureaucratic maelstrom.

Dear Bob:

This is just a note to tell you how delighted I am
that you have agreed to serve on the Bundy panel. As
it stands now I have been discouraged to put the same
people on two panels unless we get into a jam. Therefore,
I will not call on you for the Wright panel unless an
unexpected crisis develops.

As for your manuscript, everything seems to conspire
to prevent me from giving it the attention I would like
to give it and which it deserves. I had read half of it
three weeks ago when I was laid up with an unruly appendix
which proved somewhat more complicated than these things
usually are. I am just getting back on my feet and you can
count on having a letter about it by the end of next week.

With kind personal regards.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

In response to your invitation of April 2, I
will be glad to serve on the panel at one of the
sessions to be devoted to Wilsonian diplomacy at
the American Political Science Convention next
September.

Believing that this kind of honor or duty
should be passed around, I think it would be best
if I were to confine myself to one panel. I have
no basis for choosing between them at the moment,
so will be glad to accept your preference in the
matter.

This is just a note to tell you how delighted I am that you have agreed to serve on a panel on Wilsonian diplomacy. As it turns out, I have put you on the Bundy panel since we have a pretty full group for the other one.

Dear Mr. Wright:

In an unguarded moment I promised Bill Fox that I
would chair the sessions of the American Political Science
Convention dealing with Wilsonian diplomacy.

I understand that you have already agreed to do one
of the papers. Since our program has to go to press in
about ten days, I would very much appreciate it if you
would let me have the exact title of your talk. Also if
you can get the paper to us by July 1st, we will have the
paper mimeographed and distributed to the other panel parti-
cipants.

It was a great pleasure to meet you the other day and
I look forward to renewing our acquaintance soon.

Kind regards.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I have corresponded with Bill Fox about the paper for The American Political Science Association meeting. You might label my contribution "Wilson and The League of Nations." I will deal with his transition from conceptions of neutrality to conceptions of collective security, and with the main points which he thought essential for the League.

I will try to get you a paper by July first.

Dear Mr. Wright:

The American Political Science Association has just
sent me the following instructions for the reproduction and
distribution of panel papers:

"Authors of panel papers are requested to cut stencils
for their papers, run off and distribute copies to panel
members and then mail the stencils to the American Poli-
tical Science Association (1726 Massachusetts Avenue, N. W.
Washington 6, D. C.) on or before August 1, 1956.

"Any mimeograph stencils will do provided they are of
the long rather than the short variety. Panel papers
should be cut single space and in a fashion so that they
will reproduce on regular size (not legal size) paper."

I understand that the Association wants to have the stencils
so that they can run off more copies which will then be sold
at the conference.

I am enclosing the list of names and addresses of members
on your panel.

I look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Best regards.
