GARBER - REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT To THE MEMBERS OF THE CORPORATION: It is my duty at this time to submit to you a report on the affairs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The basic problems and welfare of the Institute cannot be con- sidered except in relation to the general economic and social background of the country as a whole. The country is now in a period of transition from depression to at least relative pros- perity - from the necessity of enforced contraction to the pos- sibility of expansion and progress. This would imply also a transition period for the Institute, with a shift in the major emphasis of administrative efforts corresponding with the change in the general situation. I shall therefore follow an unusual outline in my report to you today, dividing it into three parts: (i) the year's operations; (2) review of the depres- sion period; (3) the next period - a program of objectives. THE YEAR'S OPERATIONS Personnel. It is a source of much regret to me that each

    THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Jarrow March

    Jarrow March

    80th Anniversary of the Jarrow March 5-31 October 1936 The March After suffering years of high unemployment and deprived social conditions, it was decided by the Jarrow Borough Council on 20 July 1936 to present a petition to Parliament asking for the re-establishment of industry in the town. To deliver it, a deputation of 200 men from Jarrow would march 300 miles to London, raising awareness of the town’s situation. The march was referred to as a “crusade”, partly to emphasise the seriousness of the situation and partly to distinguish themselves from the “hunger marches” carried out by the National Unemployed Worker’s Movement during the 1920s and 30s. The NUWM had Communist connections, and the Jarrow crusade was firmly non-partisan. The march attracted broad local support, including that of the local political parties (Labour, Conservative and Liberal), and the marchers included Labour, Liberal, Conservative and Communist supporters. The town could not spend taxpayers’ money on the demonstration, but about 200,000 letters were sent to other corporations, trade unions and cooperative societies, raising money for a march fund. The initial target was £800; by 13 October the fund contained £850, and ultimately nearly double the target amount was raised. The marchers left Jarrow on 5 October 1936. They carried blue and white banners and the petition, bearing 11,000 signatures, bound in blue hand- tooled leather and kept in an oak box with gold lettering. Only men were appointed to march, having first been medically checked by the Local Medical Officer; however, they were accompanied for much of the journey by the MP for Jarrow, Ellen Wilkinson.

    Trade and Crisis in the Making of Political Institutions

    GLOBALIZATION AND STATE DEVELOPMENT: TRADE AND CRISIS IN THE MAKING OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Don R. Leonard January, 2014 © 2014 Don R. Leonard GLOBALIZATION AND STATE DEVELOPMENT: TRADE AND CRISIS IN THE MAKING OF POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS Don R. Leonard, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 Political institutions have been shown to play a key role in determining economic outcomes. Where do these institutions come from, and how do they change over time? Examining the puzzle of institutional divergence on the island of Hispaniola, this dissertation identifies conditions under which international economic crises lead to the emergence of a developmental state. Haiti adjusted to the global economic crisis of the 1930s through rent-seeking policies that reinforced existing patterns of state predation and economic decay. Why, despite many similarities with Haiti including geography, regime type, and agro-export dependency, did the Dominican Republic pursue developmentalist policies of import substitution when adjusting to the same crisis— policies that transformed the economic purpose of state institutions and culminated in the fastest growing economy in Latin America over the second half of the twentieth century? Among non-industrialized countries I find that the costs of a prolonged foreign exchange crisis, and the import scarcities that ensue, are borne disproportionately by the middle classes. I also find that the ability of markets in non-industrialized countries to replace foreign imports with domestically produced substitutes is constrained by investment coordination problems.

    The Labour Party and the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939

    1 Britain and the Basque Campaign of 1937: The Government, the Royal Navy, the Labour Party and the Press. To a large extent, the reaction of foreign powers dictated both the course and the outcome of the Civil War. The policies of four of the five major protagonists, Britain, France, Germany and Italy were substantially influenced by hostility to the fifth, the Soviet Union. Suspicion of the Soviet Union had been a major determinant of the international diplomacy of the Western powers since the revolution of October 1917. The Spanish conflict was the most recent battle in a European civil war. The early tolerance shown to both Hitler and Mussolini in the international arena was a tacit sign of approval of their policies towards the left in general and towards communism in particular. During the Spanish Civil War, it became apparent that this British and French complaisance regarding Italian and German social policies was accompanied by myopia regarding Fascist and Nazi determination to alter the international balance of power. Yet even when such ambitions could no longer be ignored, the residual sympathy for fascism of British policy-makers ensured that their first response would be simply to try to divert such ambitions in an anti-communist, and therefore Eastwards, direction.1 Within that broad aim, the Conservative government adopted a general policy of appeasement with the primary objective of reaching a rapprochement with Fascist Italy to divert Mussolini from aligning with a potentially hostile Nazi Germany and Japan. Given the scale of British imperial commitments, both financial and military, there would be no possibility of confronting all three at the same time.

    The Spanish Civil War (1936–39)

    12 CIVIL WAR CASE STUDY 1: THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR (1936–39) ‘A civil war is not a war but a sickness,’ wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. ‘The enemy is within. One fights almost against oneself.’ Yet Spain’s tragedy in 1936 was even greater. It had become enmeshed in the international civil war, which started in earnest with the Bolshevik revolution. From Antony Beevor, The Battle for Spain: The Spanish Civil War 1936–1939 , 2006 The Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 after more than a century of social, economic and political division. Half a million people died in this conflict between 1936 and 1939. As you read through this chapter, consider the following essay questions: Ģ Why did a civil war break out in Spain in 1936? Ģ How significant was the impact of foreign involvement on the outcome of the Spanish Civil War? General Francisco Franco, the Ģ What were the key effects of the Spanish Civil War? leader who took Nationalist forces to victory in the Spanish Civil War.

The army intervenes to defeat the Carlists, who nevertheless remain a strong conservative force in Spanish politics (see Interesting Facts box) 1833–69 The army’s influence in national politics increases during the ‘rule of the Queens’ 1869–70 Anarchist revolts take place against the state 1870–71 The monarchy is overthrown and the First Republic is established 1871 The army restores a constitutional monarchy 1875–1918 During this period the constitutional monarchy allows for democratic elections.
