patricia: right. the europeans, they just could not believe a second world war would come, because the first one had been so horrible. so, he you know, we watched the british, the notion of appeasement. just give him learn one more thing. one more thing and he will quit because we cannot have another world war. well, fdr was a committed internationalist and some people on did and started over inthing designing the u.n. i look at it as the u.n. was wilson 2.0. that fdr took what he felt was workable and saved it. there is a lot of language in the u.n. charter that come straight from the league of nations covenant in terms of aspirations for peace in the world. but then he also realized, and he had a lot of help tanking this through. wilson basically wanted to think it through on his own. it was his baby. and, someone in fdr's circle thought the league of nations had been asked to shoulder too many responsibil andities,f you had a new international organization, there should be other international organ

patricia: 1923. brian: after he was shown the correspondence between her and wilson, which they tried unsuccessfully to publish, bragdon did not use them but preserved them in his interview files. who are all those characters and why could she not get them published? patricia: people were scared of it. they invoked the principal of the letters of someone are the property of that person. i mean that has stood in the way , of other attempts to do this. it was a famous aspect of the biography of salinger. someone wanted to publish the letters, this guy had collected them from hither and yon. it was very soon after wilson had died. i don't know how many publishers she showed it to. i believe harper and brothers was one of them, but it was turned down. it was thought not dignified. even though there was nothing and. -- nothing inflammatory. brian: have you thought about putting out a little book of them? patricia: someone could probably do that, princeton could do that. that is probably the logical person
