SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Eleanor Lansing Dulles, author, teacher and government employee, was a member of a diplomatic dynasty which spanned three generations. Her grandfather, John Watson Foster, served as Secretary of State under President Benjamin Harrison. Her mother’s sister was the wife of Robert Lansing, Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson. Her oldest brother, John Foster Dulles, was Secretary of State under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, while another brother, Allen Welsh Dulles, served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency during the Eisenhower Administration. Eleanor, herself, spent twenty-six years in government service. Although she never reached a Cabinet-level post, her background in economics and her familiarity with European affairs enabled her to fill many important positions. Eleanor was born in Watertown, New York, in 1895. After graduating from Byrn Mawr College in 1917 she went to France where she spent two years working for refugee relief organizations in Paris. When World War I ended she returned to the United States to continue her schooling and eventually received a Ph.D. degree in 1926. For the next ten years she taught economics at various colleges. As a student and college professor she made many trips to Europe to study and conduct research on European financial matters. In 1936 Eleanor entered government service. Her first position was at the Social Security Board where she studied the economic aspects of financing the social security program. In 1942 she transferred twice. Her first move was to the Board of Economic Warfare where she spent five months studying various types of international economic matters. Then, in September 1942, she went to the Department of State where she worked for almost twenty years. During her first three years at the State Department, Eleanor was involved in post-war economic planning. She helped determine the U.S. position on international financial cooperation, and participated in the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944 at which the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development were established. After the end of World War II, Eleanor went to Europe where she became involved in the reconstruction of the Austrian economy. In 1949 Eleanor transferred to the German Desk where she took an active interest in the affairs of Berlin. She made many trips to Berlin and was involved in planning the construction of the Berlin Congress Hall and the Berlin Medical Center. Her interest in Germany and Berlin continued even after she left the State Department in 1962. In 1967 she represented the United States at the funeral of Konrad Adenauer. She also wrote several books describing conditions in Germany. In 1959 Eleanor transferred from the German Desk to the Office of Intelligence and Research. At the latter post she became involved in a study of economic conditions in underdeveloped countries. As part of the study she traveled extensively in Africa, Latin America and South Asia. After leaving the State Department in 1962, Eleanor returned to teaching, first at Duke University and then at Georgetown University. She wrote several books on U.S. foreign policy and continued her trips abroad, frequently on her own but sometimes as a representative of the U.S. government. The papers of Eleanor Lansing Dulles reflect her official government activities, her college teaching, her writings on U.S. foreign policy, and the activities of many members of her family. The papers were received at the Eisenhower Library in four large shipments and two small accretions between 1971 and 1985. When they were received the papers were in no apparent order so the processing archivists arranged them into nine series. The first series, the Dulles-Foster-Lansing Papers, consists of diaries and letters written by the ancestors of Eleanor Lansing Dulles. Most of the material was originated by Eleanor’s grandmother, Mary Foster, her aunt Eleanor Lansing, and her parents Allen Macy and Edith Foster Dulles. The documents pertain primarily to the social life of the family and contain no information on the official government activities of John W. Foster. There is a notebook kept by Ms. Dulles’ uncle, Robert Lansing, while working for the State Department in 1892 on negotiations between the United States and Great Britain under a Treaty of Arbitration. At issue was the need to protect the seal herd in Alaska. The second series contains official reports and correspondence pertaining to Eleanor’s work for the U.S. government. The material is arranged chronologically and covers most aspects of her work. Especially well documented are her studies of financing the social security program, her studies of international economics for the Board of Economic Warfare, and her interest in post- World War II economic conditions in Europe. There is some information on her activities in Berlin but very little concerning her studies of economic aid to underdeveloped countries. This series does include some reports and notes on Berlin in the 1970s, reports on East and West Germany, and a report on Europe in the 1960s. More information on these subjects is located in the Trips Series. The third series consists of Eleanor’s personal correspondence and diaries, as well as printed material, memorabilia and some correspondence pertaining to her brothers John Foster Dulles and Allen Welsh Dulles and members of their families. Of particular interest in this series are Eleanor’s diaries and the letters she wrote to her family during her trips to Europe. These contain much information on her relief activities in France during World War I and her activities in Europe following World War I and World War II. The next two series contain information on the speeches and trips of Eleanor Lansing Dulles. Most of her speeches and trips were made as an official of the State Department and the speech files contain many State Department press releases giving the texts of her speeches. Many of Eleanor’s official trips took her to Germany so the Trips Series is a major source of information on her work in Berlin. The series also contains useful information on her trips to Latin America and Asia for her study of economic conditions in developing countries. The sixth series contains correspondence, research notes and drafts for many of Eleanor’s books and articles. It is divided into six subseries, five of which pertain to individual books. The first subseries concerns John Foster Dulles: The Final Year, and contains reports, clippings and other printed material on the activities of John Foster Dulles. Of particular interest are Eleanor’s notes of a 1962 interview with Dwight D. Eisenhower in which the former president discussed the work of John Foster Dulles. The second subseries contains detailed information on the U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic in 1965. The third subseries contains information on the development of U.S. foreign policy, and how the U.S. acted in selected Cold War crises. The fourth subseries consists of drafts, notes, and correspondence relating to her memoirs, Eleanor Lansing Dulles--Chances of a Lifetime, and the fifth subseries has drafts and notes relating to Ms. Dulles’ book, The Wall: A Tragedy in Three Acts. The sixth subseries concerns many of the other books and articles which Eleanor wrote, most of which pertain to economic matters and events in Germany. The seventh series contains information on the college courses taught by Eleanor Lansing Dulles at Duke University and Georgetown University. The material includes lecture notes, class schedules, student papers, and some administrative papers relating to university matters. The eighth series contains articles, clippings and research notes on a wide range of foreign policy and economic matters. This material was collected by Eleanor Lansing Dulles for use in her writings and college lectures. The bulk of the material dates from the 1960s, although the series also contains a set of economic notebooks which Eleanor compiled between 1929 and 1936. The ninth series contains an assortment of materials, including interviews, notes and correspondence relating to Berlin, reviews of Eleanor Lansing Dulles’ books, and papers and articles by other individuals on such subjects as social security, the State Department, and the Berlin Wall.

  • The American Experience with Diplomacy and Military Restraint I
    PART I: THE AmERICAN EXPERIENCE WITH DIPLOMACY AND MILITARY RESTRAINT i. Orphaned Diplomats: The American Struggle to Match Diplomacy with Power Jeremi Suri E. Gordon Fox Professor of History and Director, European Union Center of Excellence, University of Wisconsin, Madison Benjamin Franklin spent the American Revolution in Paris. He had helped to draft the Declaration of Independence in the summer of 1776, one of the most radical documents of the eighteenth century—sparking rebellion on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Serving as a representative for the Continental Congress in France during the next decade, Franklin became a celebrity. He was the enlightened idealist from the frontier, the man of principled action who enthralled onlookers in the rigid European class societies of the 1770s and ’80s. Franklin embodied the American critique of Old World society, economy, and diplomacy. He was one of many American revolutionaries to take aim at the degenerate world of powdered wigs, fancy uniforms, and silver-service dinners where the great men of Europe decided the fate of distant societies. Franklin was a representative of the enduring American urge to replace the diplomacy of aristocrats with the openness and freedom of democrats.1 Despite his radical criticisms of aristocracy, Franklin was also a prominent participant in Parisian salons. To the consternation of John Adams and John Jay, he dined most evenings with the most conservative elements of French high society. Unlike Adams, he did not refuse to dress the part. For all his frontiers- man claims, Franklin relished high-society silver-service meals, especially if generous portions of wine were available for the guests.

  • APPENDIX .A. Note on the Present Position of the Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938
    APPENDIX .A. Note on the Present Position of the Munich Agreement of 29 September 1938 THE Munich Agreement, concluded between Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy for the cession of the Sudeten German territory by Czecho­ slovakia, although officially dated 29 September 1938, was in reality signed in the small hours of the morning of 30 September. l To it was annexed a declaration by the British and French Governments guaranteeing the new boundaries of the Czechoslovak state against unprovoked aggression. Germany and Italy also agreed to give a similar guarantee to Czechoslovakia 'when the question of the Polish and Hungarian minorities in Czechoslovakia had been settled'. It was further declared that the problems of these minorities in Czechoslovakia, if not settled within three months by agreement between the respective Governments, 'shall form the subject of another meeting of the Heads of the Governments of the four Powers here present'. Because of its nature, the Munich Agreement was not subject to the usual forms of ratification, and no provision for such procedure was included in its text. Parliamentary approval was accorded to Mr Chamberlain and to M. Daladier, on 6 and 5 October respectively, by means of votes of confidence but by the time these had been given in the House of Commons and the Chamber of Deputies the terms of the Munich Agreement were already a fait accompli. On 2 November 1938 the German and Italian Foreign Ministers, Ribben­ trop and Ciano, handed down the First Vienna Award, which, without consultation with, or reference to, the British and French Governments, adjudicated the fate of the Polish and Hungarian minorities in Czechoslovakia, in violation of the annexe to the Munich Agreement.2 The structure set up by the Munich Agreement was destroyed on 15 March 1939 when Hitler proclaimed that 'Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist'.

Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Gleason, Mark C. From Associates to Antagonists: The United States, Great Britain, the First World War, and the Origins of WAR PLAN RED, 1914-1919. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 178 pp., bibliography, 144 titles. American military plans for a war with the British Empire, first discussed in 1919, have received varied treatment since their declassification. The most common theme among historians in their appraisals of WAR PLAN RED is that of an oddity. Lack of a detailed study of Anglo- American relations in the immediate post-First World War years makes a right understanding of the difficult relationship between the United States and Britain after the War problematic. As a result of divergent aims and policies, the United States and Great Britain did not find the diplomatic and social unity so many on both sides of the Atlantic aspired to during and immediately after the First World War. Instead, United States’ civil and military organizations came to see the British Empire as a fierce and potentially dangerous rival, worthy of suspicion, and planned accordingly. Less than a year after the end of the War, internal debates and notes discussed and circulated between the most influential members of the United States Government, coalesced around a premise that became the rationale for WAR PLAN RED.

    CHAPTER 1 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS: Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 CHAPTER 1 8 SPECIAL AGENTS, SPECIAL THREATS Creating the Office of the Chief Special Agent, 1914-1933 World War I created a diplomatic security crisis for the United States. Under Secretary of State Joseph C. Grew afterwards would describe the era before the war as “diplomatic serenity – a fool’s paradise.” In retrospect, Grew’s observation indicates more the degree to which World War I altered how U.S. officials perceived diplomatic security than the actual state of pre-war security.1 During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Department had developed an effective set of security measures; however, those measures were developed during a long era of trans-Atlantic peace (there had been no major multi-national wars since Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo in 1814). Moreover, those measures were developed for a nation that was a regional power, not a world power exercising influence in multiple parts of the world. World War I fundamentally altered international politics, global economics, and diplomatic relations and thrust the United States onto the world stage as a key world power. Consequently, U.S. policymakers and diplomats developed a profound sense of insecurity regarding the content of U.S. Government information. The sharp contrast between the pre- and post-World War I eras led U.S. diplomats like Grew to cast the pre-war era in near-idyllic, carefree terms, when in fact the Department had developed several diplomatic security measures to counter acknowledged threats.
