Ill 82d Congress ) SENATE ( Report U Session | ( No. 2050 INSTITUTE OF PACIFIC RELATIONS July 2 (legislative day, June 27), 1952.—Ordered to be printed Mr. McCarran, from the Committee on the Judiciar}", submitted the following REPORT [Pursuant to S. Res. 366, 81st Cong., 2d sess.] INTRODUCTION The Internal Security Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Com- mittee was empowered on December 21, 1950, under the terms of Senate Resolution 366 of the Eighty-first Congress, to make a com- plete and continuing study and investigation of— (1) The admmistration, operation, and enforcement of the Internal Security Act of 1950; (2) The administration, operation and enforcement of other laws relating to espionage, sabotage, and the protection of the internal security of the United States; and (3) The extent, nature and effects of subversive activities in the United States; its territories and possessions, including, but not limited to espionage, sabotage, and infiltration by persons who are or may be under the domination of the foreign government or organizations controlling the world Communist movement or any other movement seeking to overthrow the Government of the United States by force and violence. This authority subsequently was extended under Senate Resolution 7 of the Eighty-second Congress, until January 31, 1952.^ Section 2 of the Senate Resolution 7 is as follows: The committee, or any duly authorized subcommittee thereof, is authorized to sit and act at such places and times during the sessions, recesses, and adjourned periods of the Senate, to hold such hearings, to require by subpoenas or otherwise the attendance of such witnesses and the production of such boolvs, papers, and dociunents, to administer such oaths, to take such testimony, to procure such printing and binding, and, within the amount appropriated therefor, to make * such expenditures as it deems advisable. * * Subpoenas shall be issued by 1 And by S. Res. 198, S. Res. 314. 2 INSTITUTE OF PACIFIC RELATIONS the chairman of the committee or the subcommittee, and may be served by an person designated by such chairman. Acting on this authority, the subcommittee took possession of certain back files of the Institute of Pacific Relations, which were found on the Lee, Mass., farm of E. C. Carter, a trustee. The con- tents of these files became the preliminary basis for the committee's investigation. They were studied for 5 months before the first witness took the stand. Ultimately, the committee took public testimony from 66 witnesses. Twenty-eight of these had had some connection with IPR, according to a compilation prepared by the subcommittee staff. Two had helped found the Institute (p. 3850, exhibit 1382). Two had filled the post of secretary-general (p. 6, 1150). Four had occupied the executive secretaryship of IPR's American Coimcil (pp. 6, 80, 937, 2644). Thirteen were or had been trustees (pp. 264, 568, 713, 1313, 3969). Four had served in editorial capacities. Others were writers, research associates, and staff members. The great majority of these IPR witnesses may be classified as defenders of the Institute. Some appeared at their own instance. Some presented voluminous statements, which were accepted into the record by the subcommittee. Other witnesses included a former Vice President of the United States (p. 1297ff.), a former American Ambassador to the U. S. S. R. (p. 452 Iff.), former Chief of Intelligence of the Far Eastern Com- mand of the United States and the United Nations forces (p. 353), two former high officials of the Soviet Government (pp. 183, 4479), the director of a special investigation bureau of the Japanese Govern- ment (p. 499), the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, the wartime Chief of Staff to Admiral King, Admiral Charles M. Cooke (p. 1491ft'), and a number of State Department officials who had participated in America's far eastern affairs (pp. 703, 704, 1686, 1687). In addition, the staff examined about 20,000 documents, including books, magazine articles, letters, memoranda, minutes, reports, and some supplementary publications from Government sources. Approxi- mately 2,000 of these documents were put into the record as exhibits, to aid the subcommittee in reaching its conclusion. The object of this investigation was to determine— (a) Whether or to what extent the Institute of Pacific Rela- tions was infiltrated and influenced or controlled by agents of the communist world conspiracy; (6) Whether or to what extent these agents and their dupes worked through the Institute into the United States Govern- ment to the point where the}^ exerted an influence on United States far eastern policy; and if so, whether and to what extent they still exert such influence; (c) Whether or to what extent these agents and their dupes led or misled American public opinion, particularly with respect to far eastern policy. Hearings began July 25, 1951. They ended June 20, 1952. The printed record of hearings totals over 5,000 pages. INSTITUTE OF PACIFIC RELATIONS WHAT IS IPR? When W. L. Holland appeared before the Subcommittee on Internal Security, he declared : I am speaking as the executive officer of both the international IPR and the American IPR, and as a person who lias been closely connected with the institute's work and staff for a very long period (p. 1212). Mr. Holland then gave the subcommittee this description of the institute: The Institute of Pacific Relations is an association composed of national councils in 10 countries. Each national council is autonomous and carries on its own work in its own distinctive way. Together they cooperate in an international IPR program of research, publications, and conferences. This program is directed by a Pacific Council in which each national council is represented, and administered by a small international secretariat working in New York under the direction of the Pacific Council. The institute at present consists of the following independent national councils: American Institute of Pacific Relations, Inc. Australian Institute of International Affairs Canadian Institute of International Affairs Comitg d' Etudes des Problemes du Pacifique (France) Indian Council of World Affairs Japan Institute of Pacific Relations New Zealand Institute of International Affairs Pakistan Institute of International Affairs Philippine Council, Institute of Pacific Relations Ro.val Institute of International Affairs (Great Britain) The institute was founded in 1925 at a conference in Honolulu of religious leaders, scholars, and businessmen from various countries of the Pacific area, who, even then, realized the need for greater knowledge and frank discussion of the problems of Asia and the relations of Asia and the West. The impetus came in part from leaders of the YMCA. At the first conference it was realized that intelligent discussion was impossible on many subjects because many basic facts were lacking about the peoples, re- sources, trade, and pohtics of tlie Pacific area. This led to the inauguration by the international IPR of a large and continuing research program which subse- quently received generous support from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Corp. The IPR has played an important part in increasing available knowledge*******about Asia in the United States and other countries (p. 1215). The work of the

  • Sidney Webb: Utilitarianism, Positivism, and Social Democracy
    Sidney Webb: Utilitarianism, Positivism, and Social Democracy By Mark Bevir Reference: “Sidney Webb: Utilitarianism, Positivism, and Social Democracy”, Journal of Modern History 74 (2002), 217-252. I. Contact details Address: Department of Political Science, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720-1950. Email: [email protected] II. Biographical details Mark Bevir is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science, University of California at Berkeley. His publications include The Logic of the History of Ideas (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1999) 2 ABSTRACT Sidney Webb is often represented as a descendent of the utilitarians. Social democracy and the welfare state thus stand as the continuing development of Enlightenment rationalism. Alternatively, Webb appears as the representative of a new managerial and administrative class. Social democracy and the welfare state here stand as the elitist and bureaucratic expressions of the power of this class. In contrast to these conventional views, this paper locates Webb in the context of a radicalism, peculiar to the 1870s, composed of ethical positivism and evolutionary sociology. He became a socialist because of his positivist ethic. He defined his socialism in relation to an evolutionary philosophy. And he later adopted collectivism as a result of turning to positivist sociology. Webb’s collectivism, however, provided little assistance in dealing with the dilemmas of the inter-war years. His ethical positivism and evolutionary sociology led him to turn to solutions apparently offered by the Soviet Union. This reinterpretation of Webb suggests a new view of social democracy and the welfare state. We should see them as the changing products of particular ideational and political contexts such as those of the 1870s and 1930s.

  • 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.
