LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG CARD NUMBER: 5* 5361 TO MY FATHER AND BROTHER AND TO W. R. CASTLE Acknowledgment Many individuals have made this book pos sible. I am greatly indebted to William R. Castle, who as assistant secretary of state in 1927-29 had much to do with negotiation of the Kellogg pact; Mr. Castle most kindly per mitted use of his hitherto unpublished volu minous diary. The essay was originally written as a dis sertation for the degree of doctor of philosophy at Yale. William Weed Kaufmannes sugges tions and encouragement were very helpful. Hajo Holbom with patience and thorough ness aided toward understanding the European context of the Kellogg-Briand Pact. Harry R. Rudin first called my attention to the “new diplomacy” of the post-1918 era; it was his view of the origins of the Kellogg pact which led to this present study. Samuel Flagg Bemis has helped in so many ways that it is im possible to enumerate them; the essay would have progressed nowhere without his friend ship and criticism. The editor of the Yale Historical Series, Lewis P. Curtis, made many excellent sugges tions in preparing the manuscript for publica tion. Miss Jane Hartenstein of the Yale Uni versity Press likewise read the manuscript with a keen eye for error. It has been a pleasure to work with the editor of the Press, Eugene Davidson.
