  • Flight from Inflation the Monetary Alternative
    Flight from Inflation The Monetary Alternative by E.C. Riegel Edited By Spencer Heath MacCallum and George Morton ∞∞∞∞∞ THE HEATHER FOUNDATION Los Angeles California Copyright ©© 2003 The Heather Foundation Selected Correspondence Omitted Editorial Preface I MET E. C. RIEGEL in New York in 1953, on a visit up from Princeton where I was an undergraduate. "Uncle Ned", as his intimates called him, was a friend of my grandfather, Spencer Heath, and both were residents of Greenwich Village. Occasionally they would meet at the apartment of Mr. Riegel's friends, Major and Mrs. Ivan Firth. Here I met him, some months before his death. He suffered from the effects of Parkinson's disease, which made him appear older and more frail than his 74 years. My grandfather regarded Mr. Riegel as a genius for his understanding of the nature and functioning of money as a human and social institution. It was clear, however, that this old man had not revolutionized the world with his ideas and could not now do so. The idea formed and grew in my mind that I should keep in touch with Mr. Riegel and the Firths, who were not much younger than he, in order to preserve his papers from being lost after his death. As to what might be done with them, I had no idea at the time. An intuition told me that they should be preserved. When "Uncle Ned" died some months later, his papers went to his friends, Ivan and Gladys Firth. I kept in touch with the Firths through my grandfather for the next ten years.

Our Last Best Hope About the Author INTRODUCTION The Fearful Master , concisely written and well documented, sets forth the double standard which guides the UN through its devious and treacherous path toward world domination. The author, Mr. G. Edward Griffin, has performed an outstanding service in giving the people of the free world a picture of what has happened, is happening, and will happen in the very near future--if we continue our course of strategic surrender to international forces. The book opens with the story of Katanga and reveals the broken promises which the UN made to Moise Tshombe in order to deceive him, and to turn over to the central government the only province of the Congo where law and order had prevailed and where freedom was the watchword of its leaders. The murder, pillaging and rape practiced by the UN forces in Katanga can happen to any country that surrenders to UN control.

  • Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960
    Soviet Spies and the Fear of Communism in America Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960 Mémoire Brigitte Rainville Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Brigitte Rainville, 2013 Résumé Le but de ce mémoire est de mettre en évidence la réaction des membres du Congrès des États-Unis dans le cadre de l'affaire Alger Hiss de 1948 à 1960. Selon notre source principale, le Congressional Record, nous avons pu faire ressortir les divergences d'opinions qui existaient entre les partisans des partis démocrate et républicain. En ce qui concerne les démocrates du Nord, nous avons établi leur tendance à nier le fait de l'infiltration soviétique dans le département d'État américain. De leur côté, les républicains ont profité du cas de Hiss pour démontrer l'incompétence du président Truman dans la gestion des affaires d'État. Il est intéressant de noter que, à la suite de l'avènement du républicain Dwight D. Eisenhower à la présidence en 1953, un changement marqué d'opinions quant à l'affaire Hiss s'opère ainsi que l'attitude des deux partis envers le communisme. Les démocrates, en fait, se mettent à accuser l'administration en place d'inaptitude dans l'éradication des espions et des communistes. En ayant recours à une stratégie similaire à celle utilisée par les républicains à l'époque Truman, ceux-ci n'entachent toutefois guère la réputation d'Eisenhower. Nous terminons en montrant que le nom d'Alger Hiss, vers la fin de la présidence Eisenhower, s'avère le symbole de la corruption soviétique et de l'espionnage durant cette période marquante de la Guerre Froide.

Shively ********* Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of History Union College June, 2015 Chapter 1: Spies Before the War The Soviet Union and the United States have always had a complicated relationship. When the Bolshevik Revolution of 1921 brought the communist party to power in Russia, the United States government did not recognize the new regime. The communist ideologies of the newly established state did not line up well with the democratic ideals of the United States. These new communist principles threatened the strength of the American system, as labor disputes and the Great Depression gave citizens reason to question capitalism’s effectiveness. The fear of this system grew as the world progressed through the twentieth century when the Soviet Union shifted from ally to enemy in all but a few years.

Excerpt Identifier: JRM_1950_09_22_Hyattsville_MD_excpt.wav TRANSCRIPT OF EXCERPT Senator McCarthy speaking: Now let’s, let’s briefly shift, let’s briefly shift to the master planner for disaster, Dean Gooderham Acheson. This is the Acheson, ladies and gentlemen, who in 1939 – that’s over 10 years ago – that’s before Hiss had done all of his damage at Yalta, before all of his treasonable activities in the State Department, when Whittaker Chambers named him as part of his espionage ring. Then Adolph Berle, the undersecretary, went to Acheson. He said how about this? What should we do? Here is one of our top men named as a member of an espionage ring. And what do you think Acheson said? We can quote him. He said “Don’t investigate Hiss. I will vouch for him completely.” The other Hiss brother also was named – Donald Hiss. Where do you think Donald Hiss is today? Donald Hiss is in the Acheson law firm as of tonight. This is the, this is the same Hiss -- this is the same Acheson -- who said about Hiss after Hiss’s conviction, after ten years of treasonable activity, he said I will never turn my back on Alger Hiss. That wouldn’t be so bad if that were merely an expression about this one traitor, but ladies and gentlemen, that was, that was a notification to all of the Hisses, all of the Marzanis, all of the Wadleighs, all of the Remingtons, that when they were caught that then their boss’s back would not be turned upon them either.
