  • The Square Deal
    Teddy Roosevelt - The Trust Buster Teddy Roosevelt was one American who believed a revolution was coming. He believed Wall Street financiers and powerful trust titans to be acting foolishly. He believed that large trusts and monopolies were harmful to the economy and especially to the consumer. While they were eating off fancy china on mahogany tables in marble dining rooms, the masses were roughing it. There seemed to be no limit to greed. If docking wages would increase profits, it was done. If higher railroad rates put more gold in their coffers, it was done. How much was enough, Roosevelt wondered? The President's weapon was the Sherman Antitrust Act, passed by Congress in 1890. This law declared illegal all combinations "in restraint of trade." For the first twelve years of its existence, the Sherman Act was a paper tiger. United States courts routinely sided with business when any enforcement of the Act was attempted. 1. What belief guided President Theodore Roosevelt’s efforts as a trustbuster? 2. What is a monopoly? Why are they harmful to the economy and to the consumer? 3. What piece of legislation did Roosevelt use to break up monopolies? The Square Deal The Square Deal was Roosevelt's domestic program formed on three basic ideas: conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection. In general, the Square Deal attacked plutocracy and bad trusts while simultaneously protecting businesses from the most extreme demands of organized labor. In contrast to his predecessor William McKinley, Roosevelt believed that such government action was necessary to mitigate social evil, and as president denounced “the representatives of predatory wealth” as guilty of “all forms of iniquity from the oppression of wage workers to defrauding the public." Trusts and monopolies became the primary target of Square Deal legislation.

HANSEN Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: June 21, 2004 Copyright 2005 ADST Q: Today June 21, 2004. This is an interview with Ruth E. Hansen. Let's start at the beginning. Could you tell me when and where you were born and then we'll talk a little bit about your family, your parents. HANSEN: I was born in 1946 in Chicago. My family is originally from Chicago, both parents born there. My father was raised on the West Side, in the Austin neighborhood, and my mother on the South Side. On my father's side, his family on his father's side came from Norway, immigrants who came to the United States in the mid-1800s, I guess. I have heard the story of his grandmother coming as a 13-year-old and going into service with a Chicago family. His own father was a high school principal in Chicago. His father and all his uncles graduated from Northwestern University and went into a variety of professioneducation, law, pharmacy. Q: With an immigrant family, this is sort of remarkable that they would be within a relatively short time going to Northwestern, being a high school principal and in other professions. What was the secret of their getting into that position? Interview with Ruth E. Hansen http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001358 Library of Congress HANSEN: I don't know if there was a secret.

July 28, 1975 Dear Colleague: We would like to call to your attention Amendment 681 to the State Department Appropriations bill. This amendment, which will be raised on the floor by Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr., would prevent any of the funds being appropriated by the bill to be spent to negotiate "the surrender or relinquishment of any U.S. rights in the Panama Canal Zone." Such language was added on the floor of the House to H.R. 8121 by Congressman M.G. Snyder, of Kentucky, but was deleted by the Senate Appropriations Committee in the full committee mark-up last week. In our view, the Byrd-Snyder Amendment is a clear infringement upon the power of the Executive Branch to conduct treaty negotiations. Under the Constitution, this power is granted solely to the Executive Branch. Congressional power with respect to treaties comes into force after the treaty is presented to the Senate for ratification. Senators who may oppose a new Panama Canal treaty can have an opportunity t o voice their objections to it after its timely submission to Congress for review.

  • Rear Admiral Ellis Zacharias
    Rear Admiral Ellis Zacharias In the early 1950s, until his untimely death in Springfield, June 27, 1961, Adm. Ellis Zacharias (Ret'd) and his wife Claire, joined the summer colony in Springfield. They purchased the cottage built by Kirk Heath on the pine and hemlock covered point near the Adams/Nulsen boathouse on Lake Kolelemook. The house is now owned by Stephen and Daphene Klein. The Zacharias' loved their "get away home" in Springfield . In their Christmas letter of 1953, he tells of arriving in New Hampshire by train in late June. The first thing they did after arriving in Springfield was to jump into Lake Kolelemook! Ellis Zacharias was born in Jacksonville, Florida, 1 January 1890. He graduated from the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD in 1912. During WWI, he served as a line officer aboard the USS Pitsburgh. In 1920, Admiral Zacharias became interested in intelligence as a young officer, when given a three year assignment to go to Japan as a language student. He learned to speak Japanese and became familiar with the Japanese people and their culture. He also began to realize that they were very interested in him and what he was doing. Toward the end of his tour of duty, he happened to be on a pier in Yokohama, 1 September 1923 when an earthquake destroyed the city and surrounding areas. It was quite a harrowing experience. He helped with the rescue efforts before leaving the area. When he arrived back in Washington, the powers that be would have been better served if they had paid more attention to the report he made of his observations and how the Japanese were reacting to the Naval Conference that limited their sea power in the 1920s.

  • What Roosevelt Took: the Economic Impact of the Panama Canal, 1903-37
    Paper 06-041 What Roosevelt Took: The Economic Impact of the Panama Canal, 1903-37 Noel Maurer Carlos Yu Copyright © 2006 Noel Maurer, Carlos Yu Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. What Roosevelt Took Noel Maurer Carlos Yu What Roosevelt Took: The Economic Impact of the Panama Canal, 1903-37 Abstract The Panama Canal was one of the largest public investments of its time. In the first decade of its op- eration, the Canal produced significant social returns for the United States. Most of these returns were due to the transportation of petroleum from California to the East Coast. Few of these returns, however, accrued to the Panamanian population or government. U.S. policy operated to minimize the effects of the Canal on the Panamanian economy. The major exception to this policy was the American anti-malarial campaign, which improved health conditions in the port cities. “I took the Isthmus.” –President Theodore Roosevelt, 1904. “Why, it’s ours, we stole it fair and square.” –Senator Samuel Hayakawa, 1977. Modern economic historians have been skeptical of the Canal’s economic benefits to the United States. Stanley Lebergott, for example, noted that the Canal “gave equal advantage to any nation that chose to use the Canal,” and the benefits for coast-to-coast shipping accrued “in the same proportion as American railroads were injured.”1 Early boosters of the Panama Canal, however, had no such doubts.
