(21/10/77)tt From "Report of the Curator and Archivist" Cornell University, 1950-54. ".... There is no guide to the Warren Papers. They are arranged chronologically for the most part, with some subject matter cutting across a perfect chronological arrangement. Unfortunately the Warren Papers do not lend themselves to an easily defined and limited category that would cover his activities as economic adviser to President Roosevelt The Warren Papers include very little correspondence between Warren and others who were interested in governmental fiscal policies in the 1930's. Nor do they include any material that would present, such as a diary would, the "inside story" of Warren's relationship to tne Roosevelt Administration's fiscal policy. The Papers do contain copies of articles and speeches (mimeographed for the most part) that set forth Warren's views on currency and other economic matters. The Papers also include articles, speec'aes, open letters, editorials, and other such material relating to economic problems in the 1930's and which was sent to Warren as an individual concerned with such problems. For example, the Committee for the Nation to Rebuild Prices and Purchasing Power (J. H. Rand, Chairman) sent its reports and recommendations to Warren. Warren also kept a newspaper clipping file and a diary. The latter, however, is only an account of Warren's activities from July 1936 through 1937. The diary is simply a perfunctory record of Warren's public activities (speeches, for example) and not a detailed narrative of his non-public activities (unreported governmental economic talks for example). The newspaper clippings cover the years 1933 through 1937 and are quite extensive. They include reports on Warren's activities, editorials on Warren's recommendations, and comments on the economic problems of the 1930's generally. " From, letter of 4/27/56, from Phil E. Snyder, Asst. Archivist, Cornell University.
