4 the AMERICAN and BRITISH CULTURAL APPROACHES The
4 THE AMERICAN AND BRITISH CULTURAL APPROACHES HOW DIFFERENT WAS Japan's cultural approach from those of the United States and Great Britain in the 1920S? Was the same pattern of Sino Japanese interaction reflected in Sino-American and Sino-British interaction during this period? In analyzing the American situation, the chapter first focuses on Sino-American interaction and then examines American views on how the remission could be best used. The British case is then examined in a similar fashion, followed by a comparison of the two ap proaches. THE AMERICAN APPROACH, 1924-1931 The Second American Remission and Sino-American Interaction In December 1908, the United States remitted a portion of its Boxer indem nity to support an educational program comprised of the Chinese Educa tional Mission and T singhua College. While this program continued into the 1920S, there were also calls for the United States to remit the remaining portion of its indemnity for similar purposes. This movement for total re mission was actively advocated by the chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee, Henry Cabot Lodge. With the backing of the State De partment, Lodge introduced a resolution for total remission in May 1921. Although the resolution was passed by the Senate in August, it was stalled The American and British Cultural Approaches 93 in the House, whose members feared that approving such an act might en courage the European powers involved in World War I to press the United States for a. similar waiving of their war debts.l When the fear of such a linkage gradually ebbed over the next two years, Lodge re-introduced the remission resolution into Congress in December 1923. -
Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba. -

DESCRIPTORS Communication 1m:search; Political Influences; *Presidents of the United States; *Public Speaking; *Rhetoric; *Social Values; *Symbolism IDENTIFIERS Johnson (Lyndon Baines); Kennedy (John F); Political Rhetoric; *Presidential Massages; Reagan (Ronald) ABSTRACT This paper presents an examination of United States presidents' names as symbols. In developing the analysis, the paper: (1) reviews multiple perspectives which suggest that allusions to past presidents (such as Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, or Franklin Roosevelt) are significant political symbols; (2) discusses how allasions to past presidents function in specific situatiors such as ceremonies and political rallies; and (3) briefly explores the presidencies of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Ronald Reagan via presidential allusions. The paper observes that for each of the three men, allusions to other presidents occurred most frequently in ceremonial situations, and may have reflected attempts to shape societal values by providing a symbol of praiseworthy action. The paper concludes that the study adds one more layer of detail for understanding the presidency as wel1 as American political culture. Sixty-four endnotes are included.

POLITICS AS USUAL: FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, THOMAS DEWEY AND THE WARTIME PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OF 1944 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael A.

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the U.S. wartime presidential campaign of 1944. In 1944, the United States was at war with the Axis Powers of World War II, and Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, already serving an unprecedented third term as President of the United States, was seeking a fourth. Roosevelt was a very able politician and-combined with his successful performance as wartime commander-in-chief-- waged an effective, and ultimately successful, reelection campaign. Republicans, meanwhile, rallied behind New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Dewey emerged as leader of the GOP at a critical time. Since the coming of the Great Depression -for which Republicans were blamed-the party had suffered a series of political setbacks. Republicans were demoralized, and by the early 1940s, divided into two general national factions: Robert Taft conservatives and Wendell WiIlkie "liberals." Believing his party's chances of victory over the skilled and wily commander-in-chiefto be slim, Dewey nevertheless committed himself to wage a competent and centrist campaign, to hold the Republican Party together, and to transform it into a relevant alternative within the postwar New Deal political order. -
Herbert Hoover, Partisan Conflict, and the Symbolic Appeal Of
P1: Vendor International Journal of Politics, Culture and Society [ijps] ph152-ijps-452810 October 1, 2002 19:7 Style file version Nov. 19th, 1999 International Journal of Politics, Culture and Society, Vol. 16, No. 2, Winter 2002 (C 2002) Legacies Versus Politics: Herbert Hoover, Partisan Conflict, and the Symbolic Appeal of Associationalism in the 1920s Andrew J. Polsky,‡ and Olesya Tkacheva† The concept of a policy legacy has come into widespread use among schol- ars in history and the social sciences, yet the concept has not been subject to close scrutiny. We suggest that policy legacies tend to underexplain outcomes and minimize conventional politics and historical contingencies. These ten- dencies are evident in the revisionist literature on American politics in the aftermath of the First World War. That work stresses continuities between wartime mobilization and postwar policy, especially under the auspices of Herbert Hoover and the Commerce Department. We maintain that a rupture marks the transition between the war and the Republican era that followed and that the emphasis on wartime legacies distorts the political realities of the Harding–Coolidge era. We conclude by noting the risks of policy legacy approaches in historical analysis. KEY WORDS: policy legacy; Herbert Hoover; Republican party; partisanship; associa- tionalism. INTRODUCTION: LEGACIES THICK AND THIN Policy history scholars refer often to the idea of a policy legacy to help explain the durability or recurrence of policy patterns. The term “legacy” connotes something that has been handed down from one generation to another, an inheritance. Later generations of policy makers will look to the past as they try to grasp problems or seek lessons about success and failure; Hunter College and the Graduate School, CUNY. -
