  • The Ftc from 1925 to 1929
    THE WILLIAM HUMPHREY AND ABRAM MYERS YEARS: THE FTC FROM 1925 TO 1929 MARC WINERMAN WILLIAM E. KOVACIC* The Federal Trade Commission is one of the oldest U.S. experiments with a multi-member federal regulatory body. To formulate coherent programs and establish a respectable institutional brand, such bodies benefit from a basic level of consensus and internal harmony. Though uniformity of perspective within the board is neither attainable nor healthy, a core commonality of pur- pose and fidelity to collegiality are highly desirable. Attaining such common cause depends heavily on the backgrounds, philosophies, and personal sensi- bilities of the board’s members. During President Calvin Coolidge’s second term (and first full term), the FTC Commissioners shared neither the requisite commonality nor collegial- ity, as William Humphrey served as a protagonist in two successive splits among the Commissioners. The first, triggered by his arrival, was a partisan confrontation. The Republicans had controlled the White House and Congress since 1921, but first controlled a majority of Commission seats in June 1924 and first began to change the agency’s direction aggressively when Humphrey arrived in February 1925. Though Humphrey was not a Presidentially desig- nated Chairman (he arrived a quarter century before the President could desig- nate the Chairman1), he was a boisterous man and a clamorous public official. He dominated the agency for a time by the force of his personality, and he continues to dominate discussions about FTC history between his arrival in * Marc Winerman is an attorney in the Office of International Affairs at the FTC and for- merly an attorney advisor to Commissioner Kovacic.

  • Thrift, Sacrifice, and the World War II Bond Campaigns
    Saving for Democracy University Press Scholarship Online Oxford Scholarship Online Thrift and Thriving in America: Capitalism and Moral Order from the Puritans to the Present Joshua Yates and James Davison Hunter Print publication date: 2011 Print ISBN-13: 9780199769063 Published to Oxford Scholarship Online: May 2012 DOI: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199769063.001.0001 Saving for Democracy Thrift, Sacrifice, and the World War II Bond Campaigns Kiku Adatto DOI:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199769063.003.0016 Abstract and Keywords This chapter recounts the war bond campaign of the Second World War, illustrating a notion of thrift fully embedded in a social attempt to serve the greater good. Saving money was equated directly with service to the nation and was pitched as a duty of sacrifice to support the war effort. One of the central characteristics of this campaign was that it enabled everyone down to newspaper boys to participate in a society-wide thrift movement. As such, the World War II war bond effort put thrift in the service of democracy, both in the sense that it directly supported the war being fought for democratic ideals and in the sense that it allowed the participation of all sectors in the American war effort. This national ethic of collective thrift for the greater good largely died in the prosperity that followed World War II, and it has not been restored even during subsequent wars in the latter part of the 20th century. Keywords: Second World War, war bonds, thrift, democracy, war effort Page 1 of 56 PRINTED FROM OXFORD SCHOLARSHIP ONLINE (www.oxfordscholarship.com).

  • America Between the Wars: the Seventh Form American Option
    America Between the Wars THE SEVENTH FORM AMERICAN OPTION REVISED THE reading list for the seventh form American option, published in the Education Gazette of 1 June 1977, is as passe as John Kennedy's narrow silver ties and Ivy League suits, which were contemporaries of the more re- cent books on the reading list. Worse still, the list of suggested books has always been inadequate. It fails to reflect important recent trends in historical writing, such as the interpretative challenge raised by the New Left or the questions posed by the new social history. One finds little or nothing in the suggested readings about blacks, women, or workers. America is not made up exclusively of white, Protestant, male politicians, generals, and diplomats. However, those educated in the present seventh form prescription would have no way of knowing that. In an era of declining enrolments in history, it is more imperative than ever to make the material come alive, to avoid making the study of history a bore. In actuality, history is not boring; one needs to work hard to make it seem so. Yet the emphasis of the reading list on political institutions suc- ceeds in making history seem lifeless and dull. This is all the more tragic, because recent scholarship has opened up exciting new areas of inquiry which, if incorporated into the syllabus, would enrich and enliven the study of history in the schools. How people lived, how families interacted, how people made a living, how minorities assimilated into American society (or failed to), how parents raised children, how Freudian psychology and con- traception affected relations betwen men and women are but a few topics that historians have investigated; and they are important elements of the historical past.

  • Law, Politics, and the New Deal(S)
    Law, Politics, and the New Deal(s) Laura Kalman I. INTRODUCTION The metaphor of fatigue permeates the debate over the constitutional history of the New Deal. Prior to the publication of Bruce Ackerman's We the People: Transformations, the disagreement pitted "internalist" law professors, such as Barry Cushman and Richard Friedman,1 against "externalist" historians, such as William E. Leuchtenburg and myself.2 Now comes Ackerman, who, picking up on the metaphor of fatigue used by some of the participants,3 urges us to drop "the old and tired debate." 4 t Professor of History, University of California, Santa Barbara. I am very grateful to Bruce Ackerman, John Morton Blum, W. Elliot Brownlee, Barry Cushman, James Fleming, Barry Friedman, W. Randall Garr, John Jordan, Pnina Lahav, John Henry Schlegel, Gregory Silbert, and G. Edward White for their help with this Article.

History/Individual Interdisciplinary Program The Forgotten Man: The Rhetorical Construction of Class and Classlessness in Depression Era Media (206 pp.) Co-Directors of Dissertation: Katherine Jellison and Raymie McKerrow The following study is an analysis of visual and narrative cultural discourses during the interwar years of 1920-1941. These years, specifically those of the 1930s, represent a significant transitional point in American history regarding cultural identity and social class formation. This study seeks to present one profile of how the use of media contributed to a mythic cultural identity of the United States as both classless and middle-class simultaneously. The analysis is interdisciplinary by design and purports to highlight interaction between visual and oral rhetorical strategies used to construct and support the complex myths of class as they formed during this period in American history. I begin my argument with Franklin D.

  • Simply the Best: FDR As America's Number One President Tony Mcculloch in the Words of Tina Turner's Iconic Pop Song of the 1
    Simply the Best: FDR as America’s Number One President Tony McCulloch In the words of Tina Turner’s iconic pop song of the 1980s, to be “the best” is simply to be “better than all the rest.” While this is self-evidently the case, historians and political scientists who write about the institution of the U.S. presidency are obliged to justify their preferences and to produce a more detailed set of criteria against which the best presidents can be distinguished from “the worst” or from “the average” or from “the near great.” This is no easy task but the aim of this essay is more ambitious still – to distinguish between those presidents who are universally regarded as America’s greatest chief executives – George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt – and to justify FDR’s claim to be America’s number one President.1 The starting point for this quest is the survey undertaken by Professor Iwan Morgan, Director of the U.S. Presidency Centre (USPC) at the UCL Institute of the Americas, and published in January 2011. In this survey of British experts on the U.S. presidency, FDR was placed first, Lincoln second and Washington third. This result was in contrast to similar surveys in the United States that have usually chosen Lincoln to be the greatest, with FDR and Washington jostling for second and third position. The USPC survey therefore raises three main questions which it is the purpose of this chapter to answer. Firstly, why did a survey of U.S. presidents amongst British academics lead to a different result from that usually obtained in the United States? Secondly, what criteria would it be best to use in judging the greatness or otherwise of a U.S.

  • Franklin Roosevelt and Presidential Power
    Franklin Roosevelt and Presidential Power John Yoo* Along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt is considered by most scholars to be one of our nation's greatest presidents. FDR confronted challenges simultaneously that his predecessors had faced individually. Washington guided the nation's founding when doubts arose as to whether Americans could establish an effective government. FDR radically re-engineered the government into the modern administrative state when Americans doubted whether their government could provide them with economic security. Lincoln saved the country from the greatest threat to its national security, leading it through a war that cost more American lives than any other. FDR led a reluctant nation against perhaps its most dangerous foreign foe-an alliance of fascist powers that threatened to place Europe and Asia under totalitarian dictatorships. To bring the nation through both crises, FDR drew deeply upon the reservoir of executive power unlike any president before or since-reflected in his unique status as the only chief executive to break the two-term tradition. 1 * Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law; Visiting Scholar, American Enterprise Institute. Thanks to Jeffrey Senning for outstanding research assistance. 1 There are a great number of works on Roosevelt, with more appearing all the time.
