Biography or History
R. Emmet Condon was the secretary to Henry White, who was one of the five American Peace Commissioners at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Condon, a lieutenant in the armed forces, served in this role for ten months. Most of the correspondence and memoranda in this collection fits within that time period.
Scope and Content
The Condon Collection consists of correspondence, memoranda, telegrams, official documents, and photographs originating during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. The primary topic of concern is the issue of the Japanese acquisition of German rights and interests in the Shantung peninsula of China following World War I. A few papers in the collection involve the positioning of Greek troops in and around Smyrna.
