ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the events of the Paris Peace Conference, the meeting of Allied victors following the end of World War I to set peace terms. The Supreme Control at the Preliminary Paris Peace Conference had been handled from January 12th to March 24th that is to say for twelve-weeks by the Council of Ten with competence and with a considerable degree of success. The matter is more germane to the chapter than appears at first sight for, after discussions with highly placed friends in London and in Paris, the author discovered that, if he was accepted as prospective Secretary-General, he should have to relinquish his work with the Council of Four, which was very promising, and join House and Robert Cecil in working out the details of the organization of the League. The author came to the conclusion that he could make a greater contribution to peace and security by continuing my services to the Supreme Control in Paris.
