JOSEPH FRENCH JOHNSON Dean of the School of Commerce and Finance, New York University HON. ROBERT L. 0wEN Senator from Oklahoma; Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency HON. FRANK A. VANDERLIP Formerly Assistant Secretary of the Treasury; Presi­ dent of the National City Bank HON. CARTER GLASS Congressman from Virginia; Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency JAMES SPEYER, Presiding President of the Club 2 FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS IN BANKING AND CURRENCY REFORM, WITH SPECIAL REFER­ ENCE TO THE CURRENCY BILL ADDRESSES INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY THE CHAIRMAN MR. ELY: Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me pleasure to ask the President of the Club, Mr. Speyer, to take the chair. (Applause.) MR. SPEYER: Ladies and Gentlemen: Before start­ ing the regular proceedings, I wish to say a special word of welcome to our foreign guests who are not going to speak to-night. We are glad to see here to-night two German exchange professors, as well as two distinguished English visitors. We are particularly glad to see these Englishmen and Germans sitting side by side (laughter), which we like to consider not only as a visible proof of their interests in our affairs, but also as a token of the improved relations which now exist between these two great nations, and which mean so much for world peace. We hope they will continue to grow stronger. These strangers have just witnessed and heard the din of a New York municipal campaign, but I know that they have sufficient sense of proportion and breadth of view to look below the swface and to realize 3 4 THE ECONOMIC CLUB OF NEW YORK that however much appearances may differ in different countries, the old saying is still true: "They cook with water everywhere"; even if some of our newspapers, and some people here do make an awful lot of noise while the cooking is going on. (Laughter.) The result in the inn has been very satisfactory and assures to our city a continuance of honest, intelligent, and efficient municipal government. (Applause.) After all, gentle­ men, public opinion is not so much expressed and formed, as strangers might think, in the market-place, as it is by a gathering of such men as are here to-night. Members of the Economic Club: This is our twenty­ fifth dinner, and the distinguished speakers and the large attendance are sufficient proof that our Club is filling a useful place in our civic and national life. Our membership list of twelve hundred is full, and we also have a waiting list. I will not delay the proceedings by reading to you a list of the members who now compose your committees, which it has been my privilege to appoint. You have the printed list on your bill of fare, and you will notice that they are all new men as far as your committee work is concerned, and Mr. Ely, our Secretary, assures me that never since our Club has existed have the mem­ bers of the committees and others taken such an active interest in the management of its affairs. Therefore, I think we may look forward to another successful season, and to many more if we remain true to our. policies not only to select important topics of the day for discussion, but also to see to it that these questions are discussed from all sides and listened to in a fair and non-partisan spirit. The subject selected for this evening is "Fundamen- INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY MR. JAMES SPEYER 5 ta1 Questions in Banking and Currency Reform,. with Special Reference to the Currency Bill, " and the Committee has specified these ql!estions as follows: I. Does the Owen-Glass Bill provide for government control or for government supervision, and what should be the qualifications and the tenure of office of the mem­ bers of the Federal Reserve Board? 2. Should the notes be issued and guaranteed by the government? Being somewhat of a banker myself and having very definite views on these questions, I feel sorely tempted to take off my coat and to take part in this discussion; but I am not going to take advantage of your kindness. There were, however, two things that I wanted to say to you with your permission, and I hope you will like them; but I am going to say them just the same. The first one is this: For reasons historic, geographic, and others which it is needless to mention, our city of New York has become, and is to-day, the commercial and financial center of our great country. We are part of it and want to and intend to keep this position. I predict that any at­ tempt to change this by legislation-if ever such were made-would fail and would bring disorder, if not dis­ aster to the whole country. (Applause.) You cannot hit New York without hurting the whole country. (Applause.) I only hope you are going to like this. (Laughter.) The only way that I can see by which we could lose, naturally and justly, our leadership or the influence that goes with it, would be if we of New York did not recognize in good time the legitimate aspirations and needs of our fellow citizens in other parts of our 6 THE ECONOMIC O.UB OF NEW YORE great and growing country (applause) and the duties and responsibilities which our position of supremacy entails on us towards the whole nation. Do not let us forget that New York can only prosper and be happy if the whole country prospers and is happy. Some of us may think that we here have a paramount or special interest in banking reform and are entitled to special consideration; but I think we are all bound in honor and entitled by self-interest to approach and help such new legislation in a broad and patriotic spirit as citizens of the whole country. (Applause.) Another thing that I would like to say with your permission is this: Of course, in framing a banking and currency bill, the suggestions of bankers of practical experience should be heard and heeded, and they surely have been given ample opportunity and consideration by the chairmen of the two committees of Congress to express their varying views. But not all bankers are approaching this subject free from local bias, and it is only human that supposed self-interests should influence some of them. The experience of this and of other countries shows that the detached student of history, the independent economist, the broad-minded man in touch with public affairs-that these frequently form an equally correct and reliable opinion, provided they take time to study the subject thoroughly and without partisan spirit. Therefore, I think it is a mistake to suppose or insist that in framing new banking or cur­ rency legislation the various views of bankers should be regarded as the only ones to be considered or heard. That is all I have to say. Our Club is honored to-night by the presence of two broad-minded men of public affairs and political ex- ADDRESS BY PROF. JOSEPH FRENCH JOHNSON 7 perience from Washington. I want to assure both Senator Owen and Representative Glass that we do appreciate their coming here to-night to speak to us at this time and at this juncture, when we know they are burdened with official work and responsibilities towards the whole country.

    THAT LIBERTY SHALL NOT PERISH: AMERICAN PROPAGANDA AND THE POLITICS OF FEAR, 1914-1919 by ZACHARY CHARLES SMITH (Under the Direction of John H. Morrow, Jr.) ABSTRACT This dissertation attempts to provide an understanding of the widespread anxiety, vigilantism, suppression of dissent, and violation of civil liberties that took place in the United States from 1917 to 1919 and argues that it can be found in some Americans‟ understanding of and reaction to racially-charged propaganda. As the United States inched toward war with Germany in 1915 and after declaring war in April 1917, many propagandists began referencing the allegedly inherent characteristics of Germans as evidence of German American disloyalty and the existence of a vast “Pan-German” plot to undercut or even destroy American democracy. The imagined conspiracy grew to encompass most of the fears that had plagued the Anglo Saxon middle-class since the 1870s – immigrant radicalism, race suicide, the capability of “racially inferior” immigrants to assimilate and self-govern, and the continued deference of African Americans. To many anxious Americans, Germany and German Americans became a very real entity to which these long-held fears could be transferred. American propaganda produced during the First World War, though, was not a cynical ploy to fool the American people into supporting intervention on the side of the Allies. Leading Americans – politicians, editors, and social elites – were convinced that a global German conspiracy threatened the security of the United States and hoped to enlist the American people in staving off the existential threat they believed racially degenerate Germany allegedly posed.

Membership Chair Martha Shivvers has assured us that, even though a stroke just two weeks after her 95th birthday threatened to limit drastically her activities, she has recovered sufficiently to be able to continue her unmatched service to The Fossils. We rejoice, not only because she would have been most difficult to replace, but more importantly, because she has made such marvelous recovery. I am certain that all of you are elated to receive this news. Another happy event was mine this February when at the behest of former student and long- time friend, Ken Metzgar, I ventured a visit to his home in Tempe, Arizona. Ken made certain that I was in Tucson on February 12 to celebrate with Louise Lincoln her 98th birthday. You will want to know that Louise is comfortable and happy with the care she receives in a beautiful assisted living residence. As a matter of fact her care givers invited Ken and me to share the occasion with a generous slice of Louise's red-ribbon birthday cake. At present Louise is working on another issue of her Kitchen Stove which she produces for members of NAPA. Also Ken arranged for me to visit with AAPA President Mike O'Connor in Fountain Hills where I was Mike's luncheon guest and later had the opportunity of examining his print shop and conversing face-to-face with Dean Rea by way of the internet.

"Citizens In The Making": Black Philadelphians, The Republican Party And Urban Reform, 1885-1913 Abstract “Citizens in the Making” broadens the scope of historical treatments of black politics at the end of the nineteenth century by shifting the focus of electoral battles away from the South, where states wrote disfranchisement into their constitutions. Philadelphia offers a municipal-level perspective on the relationship between African Americans, the Republican Party, and political and social reformers, but the implications of this study reach beyond one city to shed light on a nationwide effort to degrade and diminish black citizenship. I argue that black citizenship was constructed as alien and foreign in the urban North in the last decades of the nineteenth century and that this process operated in tension with and undermined the efforts of black Philadelphians to gain traction on their exercise of the franchise. For black Philadelphians at the end of the nineteenth century, the franchise did not seem doomed or secure anywhere in the nation.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
