  • The Pink Lady and Tricky Dick: Communism's Role in the 1950 Senatorial Election” Was Written for Dr
    The Pink Lady and Tricky Dick: Communism’s Role in the 1950 Senatorial Election Michael Bird The shock had set in and the damage had been done. “I failed to take his attacks seriously enough.” That tricky man had struck quite low. What happened to “no name-calling, no smears, no misrepresentations in this campaign?” Is this politics? alifornia Republican Congressman Richard Nixon needed a C stage to stand on if he were to take the next step in politics during the 1950s. World War II left behind a world that was opportune for this next step. In the early days after the war, most Americans hoped for a continuation of cooperation between Americans and Soviets. However, that would change as a handful of individuals took to fighting Communism as one of their political weapons. Author Richard M. Fried suggests Communism “was the focal point of the careers of Wisconsin Senator Joseph R. McCarthy; of Richard Nixon during his tenure as Congressman, Senator” and “of several of Nixon’s colleagues on the House Committee on Un-American Activities.”1 The careers of these men,, both successful and unsuccessful, had roots in anticommunism. Characteristic of previous campaigns were the accomplishments and failures of each candidate. What appeared during the 1950 senatorial campaign in California was a politics largely focused on whether a candidate could be called soft on Michael Bird, who earned his BA in history in spring 2014, is from Villa Grove, Illinois. “The Pink Lady and Tricky Dick: Communism's Role in the 1950 Senatorial Election” was written for Dr.

  • A Case Study in the Mobilization of the Canadian Civil Liberties ~Overnent'
    Spies, Lies, and a Commission 53 Spies, Lies, and a Commission: A Case Study in the Mobilization of the Canadian Civil Liberties ~overnent' Dominique ClCment It was unnecessary to set up a Royal Commission to do apolice job, and a job that had already been done by the R.C.M.P. There is no Canadian precedent and no authority for setting up of a Royal Commission to sit in secret. There does not seem to be any authority for the action of the Commission in swearing witnesses to secrecy. The Commission refused to advise witnesses as to their rights, even when requested to do so. In many cases the Commission refused access to counsel at a time when the Commissioners well know that charges would be preferred against the person asking counsel. The Commissioners showed strong political bias and prejudice, and by the procedure they adopted they unfairly handicapped the defence of the ac~used.~ This remonstrance was part of a letter sent to Justice Minister J.L. Ilsley by the Civil Rights Union (Toronto) in February, 1947, and emphasizes what civil libertarians found most abhorrent about the Royal Commission on Espionage. The commission, from February to August, 1946, embarked on one of the most thorough abuses of individual rights ever conducted by an organ of the Canadian state.3 It was armed with extensive powers under the War Measures Act, Oficial SecretsAct and the Public InquiriesAct to determine the extent ofthe Soviet spy ring in Canada revealed by the defection of Igor ~ouzenko.~Coming on the heels of the deportation of Japanese Canadians in 1945-6 and extensive censorship under the Defence of Canada Regulations throughout World War Two (WWII), the commission provided civil libertarians with another powerful issue to remind the public of the vulnerability of individual's civil liberties to state abuse.5 The Royal Commission on Espionage played a key role in stimulating the early civil liberties movement in post-WWII Canada.

  • Onto the National Stage
    Onto the National Stage congresswomen in an age of crises, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. During this time the nation’s capital took on increasing importance in the everyday lives of average Americans. The Great Depression and the specter of global war transformed the role of the federal government, making it a provider and protector. Like their male counterparts, women in Congress legislated to provide economic relief to their constituents, debated the merits of government intervention to cure the economy, argued about America’s role in world affairs, and grappled with challenges and opportunities during wartime. Distinct trends persisted from the pioneer generation of women in Congress. Second-generation women still made up only a small fraction of the total congres- sional membership. At their peak, 15 women served in the 83rd Congress Senators Joseph T. Robinson (far left) and Hattie W. Caraway of Arkansas at the June 1936 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at which President Franklin Roosevelt was nominated to a second term. Caraway was a supporter of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal economic recovery programs, many of which benefited constituents in her agriculture-based state. image courtesy of the national archives and records administration (1953–1955)—about 2.8 percent.
