1. TREASURER'S REPORT

As of 26 December 1975, there was a credit balance of $605.16. International dues of 500 Swiss francs ($190) for 1976 had been paid. The International Committee had advanced the American Committee $1400 to cover one half the expenses of the conference at San Francisco in August. The remainder, amounting to $703.46, was held in escrow pending a decision as to whether the Inter­ national Committee would partially subsidize publication of the papers.

2. SAN FRANCISCO MEETING IN AUGUST 1975

Concurrently with the Fifteenth International Congress of Historical Sciences, 22-29 August 1975, in San Francisco, there was a meeting of the International Committee on the History of the Second World War. The minutes of the business meeting on 27 August 1975, at which Professor Arthur L. Funk of the Univer­ sity of Florida, then Secretary, now Chairman of the American Committee, was elected Vice-President of the International Committee, are attached, together with the minutes of the subse­ quent meeting of the International Committee, held in Florence in March 1976. As noted above in the Treasurer's Report, funds were being held for dissemination of the papers delivered at the sessions of the International Committee in San Francisco. Prof. Funk explained the responsibility of the American Committee, as organizing committee, and was authorized to proceed with publica­ tion of the papers in coordination with the International

.------­ 3

Committee. (Copies of these papers are now--in August 1976--being printed for distribution.)

3. NEWSLETTER AND BULLETIN

In the future, the chairman announced, he hoped that the News Bulletin of the International Committee would alternate with the American Newsletter. Negotiations on methods of distributing the International Bulletin were in progress. During Prof. Rochat's term as secretary-general of the International Committee, he had mailed the International News Bulletin directly from Milan to some sixty members of the American Committee, leaving the rest to be supplied from a sometimes insufficient batch of copies sent to the American secretary in Gainesville. With the inter­ national and American secretariats having moved to Brussels and to Carbondale, respectively, some new arrangements would in any case have to be worked out, Prof. Funk observed. He hoped the eventual outcome would be that members of the American Committee would receive a copy either of the international bulletin or the ACHSWW newsletter every three or four months--each appearing twice a year, in other words, but representing, when taken together, the equivalent of a quarterly bulletin. (The present newsletter, No. 15, the first of 1976, is to be followed by the second, No. 16, later this autumn.)

4. PROJECTS

There was extended consideration of the proposal set forth in ACHSWW Newsletter No. 14 (October 1975) by Janet Ziegler of the UCLA Library. Compiler of a bibliography of books published in English between 1945 and 1965 (Hoover Institution Press, 1965), she was now addressing herself to the challenge of developing a comprehensive bibliography of the international periodical literature on the war. Also there was discussion of an undertaking, proposed by Vojtech Mastny of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to publish recently declassified documentation on the war; of the possibility, raised by Donald S. Detwiler of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, of establishing post-graduate historical internships in various archives and agencies; and of a University of Turin inventory of Resistance materials in American archives. A number of suggestions were made regarding these projects, but no formal action was called for or taken.

5. FORTHCOMING ACHSWW MEETINGS

It was resolved that the chairman appoint a committee to develop a proposal for a joint ACHSWVi-AHA session on intelligence, to be submitted to the AHA Program Committee for the December 1976 meeting in Washington, D.C., and it was also agreed--as the sense of the meeting, rather than as a formal resolution--that planning 4

for the 1977 meeting of the ACHSWW should be continued along lines defined by the chairman in his remarks on the subject. (Subsequent arrangements for both the 1976 joint session and the 1977 conference are reported immediately below.)

1976 JOINT ACHSWW-AHA MEETING IN WASHINGTON, D. C.

with the cooperation of the AHA Program and Local Arrange­ ments committees, the annual business meeting of the ACHSWW is scheduled for the Assembly Room of the Sheraton Hotel, 4:45-6:30 P.M., Tuesday, 28 December, and the joint ACHSWW­ AHA session is scheduled for the following morning, Wednesday, 29 December 1976:

CODEBREAKING AND INTELLIGENCE IN THE EUROPEAN THEATER, WORLD WAR II

CHAIR: Arthur 1. Funk, University of Florida

The Significance of Codebreaking and Intelligence in Allied Strategy and Tactics David Kahn, New York University

COMMENT: Telford Taylor, Columbia University Jurgen Rohwer, Director, Bibliothek fur Zeitgeschichte, Stuttgart Harold C. Deutsch, U.S. Army War College

1977 BIENNIAL CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON, D. C.

Following discussion of the question at the business meeting in Atlanta, the chairman requested the secretary to serve with two members of the ACHSWW Board of Directors as an organizing committee for the 1977 conference, Forrest C. Pogue, Director of the Smithsonian Institution's Dwight D. Eisenhower Institute for Historical Research, and Robert Wolfe, Chief of the Modern Military Branch of uhe National Archives (and director of the National Archives conference on captured records). Plans are being made, in coordination with the Eisenhower Institute, the MacArthur Memorial Library and Archives of Norfolk, and the George C. Marshall Research Library in Lexington, Va., for a conference in Washington, D. C., late in May, on U. S. Military Government in Germany and Japan, 1945-52. Seminars on the occupation of Germany and of Japan, respectively, have been held at the Marshall and the MacArthur libraries (for "The Occupation of Japan: The Proceedings of the Seminar on the Occupation of Japan and Its Legacy to the postwar World,~ send a check for $4.00, pay­ able to the Treasurer of the City of Norfolk, to the Director of the MacArthur Memorial Library, 198 Bank St., Norfolk, 5

Va. ,23510). Tentative arrangements for the forthcoming Washlngton conference call for registration on Thursday evening, 19 May, continuing the following morning, when the conference will formally begin. The sessions, the last of ·which is to end at noon on Sunday the 22nd, will be addressed to such problems as planning and implementation, economic reconstruction and political re-education" inter-Allied coor­ dination and conflict, and the state of historical writing and historical source materials'on the postwar American occu­ pation of Germany and Japan. Insofar as confirmations permit f the complete program will be announced in Newsletter No. 16.

THE LOUIS MORTON MEMORIAL FUND

Following the death, early this year, of Louis Morton, Daniel Webster Professor of History at Dartmouth College, a director of this committee, and one of the most distinguished historians of the Second World War, Dartmouth's Board of Trustees established the Louis Morton Fund for Historical Studies. Its purpose is to provide the means, through endowment income, for histor­ ians to visit Dartmouth, particularly those whose interests, values, and standards parallel Dr. Morton's own. The first visitor under Morton Memorial Fund sponsorship is to be one of America's leading military historians--anda director of this committee. The ACHS~VW contribution of $25.00 to the Morton Memorial Fund can serve only as a token, on behalf of the membership as a whole, of the esteem in which he was held, even by those who did not have the privilege of knowing Lou Morton well. Those who did, and who wish to make individual contributions, may send their checks, payable to the Dartmouth College Morton Memorial Fund, to the Department of History, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H. 03755.

BOOK REVIEW COORDINATION

On behalf of the American Committee, Robert Dallek of UCLA has for the past several years coordinated book review cover­ age of American works on the Second World War in the French journal on the history of the Second World War brought out by the president of the International Committee, Henri Michel. In connection with other pressing commitments, Prof. Dallek has now, at least temporarily, had to withdraw from this activity. Fortunately the bibliographer of the American Historical Association, James J. Dougherty, has consented to relieve him, enabling this coordination to continue. Dr. Dougherty, editor of RPA, the new periodical bibliography journal described below, is ideally suited for this liaison role, for he is a specialist in Franco-American relations during World War II. 6

BRITISH MICROFILM ON ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS, 1939-45

The Public Record Office in London is preparing to offer for sale relatively small sets of microfilm of key historic documents from the Second World War. Full runs of declas­ sified files have been available in microcopy for some time, but only at costs prohibitive for all but major research institutions. As a pilot project, an eight-reel compilation of material on Anglo~merican relations from 1939 to 1945 has now been selected from the Prime Minister's Private Office and Cabinet Office Papers. The reels, which it is anticipated will not be available separatelYr are to include documents from the following files:

PREM 3/455. Anglo-American combined committees, May 1943 - Jan. 1944

PREM 3/458/1-8. Arcadia conference, Dec. 1941 - Jan. 1942

PREM 3/459. Argonaut conference, 1942

PREM 3/467-473. Former Naval Person telegrams exchanged between Churchill and Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, 1939-45

PREM 3/478/1-6. Papers of the Joint Staff Mission in Washington

PREM 3/485/1~9. Riviera conference, Sept. 1941

PREM 3/486/1-3. Letters to President Roosevelt, 1940-42

CAB 122/1553. Papers on post-war planning: Anglo-American rela­ tions, 1944

CAB 122/1582. Telegrams and correspondence on the Joint Staff Mission, 1941-43

CAB 122/1583. Telegrams, various, 1941-45

CAB 87/60. War Cabinet minutes and memoranda on post-war external problems and Anglo-American cooperation, 1941-42

The very fact that it is a selection touching only on the high points, so to speak, may make this eight-reel set more suitable for undergraduate or master's-level instruction and student research assignments than complete files. Scholars who have not had occasion to use the orginal records may find the set useful for orientation on the documentation available in Lon­ don on Anglo-American relations during the Second World War. Because this is a pilot project, a strong response could lead to further offerings of comparable scope. Information on the eight-reel set, the price of which is anticipated to range from $150.00 to $200.00, is available from Mrs. Alice Prochaska, Public Record Office, Chancery Lane, London W.C.2. 7

AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION NEWS ITEMS

1. ESTABLISHMENT OF ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP CATEGORY

Earlier this year? the Council of· the American Historical Association established the new category of associate membership. Until this action, fees were based on income, ranging from $10.00 per year, for those annually·earning less than $10,000.,00 to $35.00 for those in the twenty~ to thirty-thousand-dollar range, and $40.00 for those earning more--except for joint membership for a spouse sharing joint mailings, and life membership at $650.00. Associate membership is now available at a flat rate of $20.00 per year for the !'non-historian," i.e., for the person-­ whatever his training or intelleetual commitment--whose actual professional activity does not primarily involve him in histor­ ical study, teaching, research, or writing. The intention of the associate membership category is to facilitate affiliation with the AHA,and the professional historical communit~ of adminis­ trators, archivists, businessmen, librarians, curators, publishers, lawyers, journalists, and, of course, academic colleagues in other academic disciplines than history. Associate members annually receive the five issues of the American Historical Review, the nine issues of the AHA Newsletter, the Program of the Annual Meeting, and, on request, the Annual Report. Just as in the case of regular membership, however, associate membership does not include subscriptions to the AHA publications discussed below.

2. RPA, THE PERIODICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE AHA

As noted in entry I.A.5 of the bibliography concluding this newsletter, Recently Published Articles, long a section of The American Historical Review, has now been expanded into a separately available journal appearing three times each year, in February, June, and October. Individual copies and subscriptions are $1. 75 and $5.00, respectively, for AHA members, $2.65 and $8.00, respectively, for non-members.

3. COMPLIMENTARY CHANGE REPORT ON TEACHING

Complimentary copies of the "Report on Teaching: I," The March 1976 issue (vol. 8, no. 2) of Change; The Magazine of Higher Learning, are available without charge from the AHA. A skill­ fully integrated series of readable articles, this report, prepared with support from the federal Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, deals with chemistry and psychology in addition to history--thereby affording comparative insight into three key disciplines as taught on American campuses today.

4. AHA EMPLOYMENT AND RECRUITMENT SUPPORT

Widespread concern in the academic community about difficulty 8

in placing even quite well-qualified graduates has led to various measures that may no less facilitate recruiting, for those with positions to fill, than placement, for those seeking employment. From the AHA a "Job Hunting Kit" is available, which includes The Guide to Departments of History, an over-400-page guide to more than 200 history departments and research institutes in the U.S. and Canada; The Directory of History, Department Chairmen for over 1800 departments in the U. S., Canada, Mexico, and Australia; and A Survival Manual for Women (and other) Historians IIdesigned to assist all historians with interviews, program presentations, contracts, and publications." Separately priced at a total of $8.00 for AHA members and $13.00 for non-members, these three publications are available together, when ordered prepaid as liThe Job Hunter's Kit," for $5.50 to members, $10.50 to non-members. In addition, the AHA publishes an Employment Information Bulletin four times annually (plus oceasiona1 supplementary mailings, as appropriate) on the basis of information on employment status solicited from over 1800 institutions. Utilization of this service can help historians seeking employ­ ment to avoid blind solicitation, while affording potential emp1oyers--inc1uding private enterprise and government agencies as well as academic institutions--ready access to a national pool of interested and qualified app1ieants. There is no charge for listing positions in the EIB. Subscription to the four annual issues, sent first-class mail, is $7.00 prepaid for members, $10.00 for non-members.

For complimentary copies of the Change report, and for associate membership applications, the "Job Hunting Kit," and subscriptions to BIB and RPA, write directly to the American Historical Asso­ ciation, 400 A Street, S. E., Washington, D. C. 20003.

NEWSLETTER FORMAT CHANGE

The discontinuation of the convenient pamphlet format of the newsletter utilized since the fifth number in 1971 is due to rising labor costs--specifically a sharp increase in the cost of assembling and folding individual copies by hand. It is now more economical--even taking into account additional postage for the additional weight of full-size rather than reduced and folded copies--to have the newsletter reproduced and assembled in a straightforward automatic operation. This change involves no sacrifice in the quality of reproduction, for the actual duplication process is the same that would otherwise have been used. 9

BIBLIOGRAPHY

The following compilation is based, with the exception of four entries, on Library of Congress HARC (machine-readable cataloging) data provided by Miss Janet Ziegler of the University Library of the University of California. Los Angeles. The support of the UCLA Library in this under­ taking is sincerely appreciated. The computer-generated list from which this bibliogr~phy has been drawn was re­ stricted to titles for which the Library of Congress Cata­ loging in Publication Data entry showed the subject heading "World War, 1939-1945." The four exceptions are noted below. Where available, Library of Congress call numbers are included in the entries.

I. Rapport d1activite

Le PRESIDENT rend compte des activites du Comite depuis sa derniere assemblee pleniere, tenue a Moscou en 1970. II souligne que Paction du Co­ mite slest developpee dans trois directions: - il slest elargi; - il a parrai­ ne des colloques; - il a contribue a des publications.

Le PRESIDENT rappel Ie la vocation mondiale du Comite. Depuis Ie Congres de Moscou, i I a recuei Iii 14 adhes ions nouvelles, de telle sorte qui i I compte maintenant des representants de 35 pays, situes dans tous les continents. Conformement aux statuts, les adhesions sont de trois sortes : a titre indivi­ duel, dljnstituts special ises, de comites nationaux. Les nouvelles adhesions se presentent comme suit: ALBANIE : M. Plasari, comite national; AUSTRA­ LIE: M. Turner, a titre individuel; BRESIL: M. Lacombe, comite national; CAMEROUN: M. Kuma NIDune, a titre individuel; COREE du SUD: M. Sun Keun Lee, comite national; FINLANDE : M. Venvilainen, comite national; INDE : MM. Sharma et Chakravorti, comite national; INDONESIE : M. Noto­ susanto, comite national; IRLANDE : M. Will iams, a titre individuel; JAPON: MM. Sarto et Kawano, comite national; GRAND DUCHE DE LUXEMBOURG: M. Spang, institution; MALAiS1E : M. Leong, a titre individuel; NOUVELLE ZELANDE : M. Wards, a titre individuel; SUEDE: M. Ekman, comite natio­ nal. En outre, des pourparlers sont en cours avec des historiens des pays arabes dlAfrique du Nord, dlEspagne, de Grece, du Portugal, de Suisse, du Mexique et de ia Coree du Nord.

1--­ (20) 2.

Le PRESIDENT rend compte qu'entre les Congres de Moscou et de San Francisco Ie Bureau s'est reuni a quatre reprises: a Paris, Ie 30 mars 1971; a Belgrade, Ie 19 juillet 1972; a Budapest, Ie 26 septembre 1973; a Paris, Ie 30 octobre 1974. Le Comite a saisi I'occasion de divers colloques pour tenir avec ses membres presents une serie de reunions dljnformation: a Washington, Ie 16 juin 1971; a Zamosc, en octobre 1972; a Budapest, Ie 26 septembre 1973; a Paris, Ie 30 octobre 1974; a Weimar, en mai 1975.

Le PRESIDENT insiste sur I'importance du Bulletin. II constitue Ie seul I ien dans I'intervalle des assemblees. Edite par les soins du secretaire gene­ ral, il a connu 9 numeros depuis 1970. Son tirage s'eleve a 2000 exemplaires, a raison d'une moitie en franc;rais et d'une moitie en anglais. Sa diffusion s'etend au monde entier et touche meme des historiens de pays qui ne sont pas encore representes au sein du Comite international.

Le PRESIDENT aborde alors la deuxieme dimension des activites du Comite: les colloques. II rappelle que Ie Comite lui-meme n'a pas res moyens d'orga­ niser des colloques. II donne son parrainage a des colloques organises par les Comites nationaux. En cinq ans, seize colloques multinationaux ont eu I ieu de I a sorte. II s ont ete de deux types. Les uns ont porte sur des themes d'histoire regionale. lis ont ete I'occas ion de rencontres de chercheurs spe­ cial ises dans I'etude de ce qui s'est passe dans une aire geographique restreinte. Les autres ont traite, au contraire, de themes de caractere tres general, permettant a tout Ie monde d'intervenir. Les deux formules ont leurs avantages. Ell es contribuent au progres des connai ssances. Le PRESIDENT demande aux organisateurs d'inviter tous les membres du Comi­ te international, car res colloques fournissent toujours J'occasion de ren­ contres tres fructueuses.

La troisieme voie des activites du Comite est les publications. Le Comite international ne publ ie pas I ui-meme. Le Comite franc;rais edite la REVUE D'HISTOIRE DE LA DEUXIEME GUERRE MONDIALE et la met a la disposi­ tion du Comite international pour accueillir des etudes a la seule condition qu'elles soient dans la ligne de la revue. Le PRESIDENT souligne I'interet que presente une diffusion sans cesse pi us I arge de cette revue de synthese et d'information. Elle devrait se trouver dans toutes les grandes bibl iothe­ ques et dans les universites. Dans Ie domaine des pub! ications, Ie PRESI­ DENT mentionne encore les actes des colloques publies plr les pays orga­ nisateurs. M. FUNK annonce la publ ication des actes du colloque tenu a Washington en 1971.

Le rapport d'activite presente par Ie President est adopte a Ilunanimite.

II. Rapport du Tresorier

Le PRESIDENT donne la parole a M. Vanwelkenhuyzen qui rend compte de la mission de contrale des comptes du Comite qu'il a faite a Amsterdam avec MM. Schumann et Werner. Cet examen a confirme la parfaite tenue de la comptabilite. La situation arretee par Ie Tresorier a la date du 31 juillet 1975 est conforme en tous points aux dossiers.

Le TRESORIER expose I'evolution de la situation financiere. Les avoirs du Comite international se sont accrus grace aux cotisations et aux interets produits. Les depenses ont ete reduites depuis que la decision a ete prise que les deplacements des membres du Bureau sont a charge des comites na­ tionaux. La plus grosse depense E. :-epresentee des lors par I'edition du 3.

Bulletin. Tenant compte des disponibi I ites, Ie Bureau a decide que Ie Comite paierait la moitie des frais causes par I'organisation de la reunion de San Francisco. En outre, les representants nationaux recevront 200 $ comme contribution a leurs frais de sejour. En conclusion de son expose, Ie TRE­ SORIER exprime son optimisme quant au financement des activites a venir du Comite et dit sa gratitude envers M. Bos qui, a Amsterdam, tient la comptabi lite du Comite.

Le PRESIDENT remercie Ie Tresorier, slassocie a ses paroles de recon­ naissance pour M. Bos et consulte les membres. Ceux-ci donnent a Iluna­ nimite decharge au Tresorier pour sa gestion des cinq annees ecoulees.

III. Nouvelles adhesions

Le PRESIDENT annonce qu1il a ete saisi de trois demandes d1adhesion : de IIEspagne, du Mexique et de la Suisse. Elles ont ete examinees par Ie Bu­ reau, qui a donne un avis favorable. Mais la decision appartient a Ilassem­ blee pleniere.

M. Eloy BENITO-RUANO, recteur de IIUniversite dlOviedo, vice-president du Comite national espagnol des Sciences historiques, dit ses raisons de souhaiter etre admis au sein du Comite international dlHistoire de la Deuxie­ me Guerre mondiale. Le PRESIDENT precise qu'il slagirait, pour commen­ cer, de Iladhesion d1une institution (Ie Departamento de Historia Contempo­ ranea de la Universidad de Oviedo) avec Ileventual ite d1un comite national.

Mme TORRES fait part du souhait du Professeur Lorenzo MEYER, de Mexico, de devenir membre du Comite a titre individuel. Le PRESIDENT soul igne I 'importance que revetirait sa participation aux activites du Comite et espere que Ilexemple du Mexique sera suivi par des historiens d1autres pays dlAme­ rique latine.

M. Louis ROULET, directeur de "Institut dlHistoire de I'Universite de Neuchatel, explique que "institution qu1il dirige a herite de la bibliotheque de Ilhistorien suisse Eddy Bauer, qui compte 8000 volumes. Une demi-dou­ zaine de theses sont en cours d1elaboration, qui traitent de la seconde guerre mondiale. Son intention est de mettre sur pied un comit~~ national suisse. Le PRESIDENT constate qu1il slagirait donc de "adhesion d1une institution avec possibilite de "elargir ulterieurement.

A Ilunanimite Ilassemblee se prononce en faveur de Ces trois nouvelles adhesions.

IV. Constitution du Bureau pour les cing annees a venir

Le PRESIDENT rappelle les statuts, a la fois souples et simples, du Comite. L1assemblee a Ie pouvoir de renouveler, de prolonger ou de modifier lacom­ position du Bureau. Le Bureau slest reuni pour faire des propositions. II slest efforce de concilier la continuite et Ie changement. Dans sa composition actuelle, Ie Bureau comporte un president, deux vice-presidents, un ,ecre­ taire general et un tresorier. M. Rochat a ecrit. II demande que son mandat ne soit pas renouvele. Les necessites de sa carriere vont I'eloigner de Milan. Or la fonction de secretaire general n1est possible qu1appuyee sur une organisation en place. M. de Jong ne desire pas non plus continuer ses fonctions. II veut se consacrer a la redaction de "histoire des Pays-Bas 4.

dans la seconde guerre mondiale. Son interet pour la cooperation interna­ tionale n1en demeurera pas moins ce qui" a toujours ete. Le PRESIDENT dit ses regrets. II est conscient du double apport de M. de Jong au Comite, par ses travaux personnel:-2t comme tresorier. II rend hommage a la ma­ niere dont M. Rochat a rempli son office de secretaire general. Mais I'un et Ilautre ont fait savoir que leur decision etait definitive. 11 en faut donc tenir compte. Les trois autres membres du Bureau sont prets, si telle est la volonte de I'assemblee, a continuer a sieger.

Le PRESIDENT declare que Ie Bureau siest penche sur Ie remplacement du secretaire general et du tresorier. II rappelle une formule envisagee a Moscou, en 1970, si Ie secretariat general n'avait pas pu etre etabl i en Italie. II propose de I'installer en Belgique et de designer M. Vanwelkenhuy­ zen pour succeder a M. Rochat. A Bruxelles existe un centre qui pourra prendre Ie relai de ce qui slest fait a Milan pendant cinq ans. Quant au suc­ cesseur de M. de Jong, comme tresorier, ce pourrait etre M. Paape. De la sorte, la comptabilite ne quitterait pas Amsterdam ou elle a toujours ete tenue a I a sati sfacti on genel~ale, dans un pays qui a une monna i e forte.

Le PRESIDENT ajoute que Ie Bureau slest preoccupe d'autre part du carac­ tere excl us ivement europeen de sa compos ition. Elle faci lite les rencontres. Mais I'extension mondiale prise par Ie Comite justifie i1elargissement du Bureau par un vice-president non europeen, etant entendu que, dans la suite, d'autres elargissements devraient etre envisages. Au surplus, Ie colloque a ete organise par Ie Comite americain et celui-ci compte 350 membres. D'accord avec M. Delzell, Ie Bureau propose a i'assemblee la designation de M. Arthur Funk, !lactif secretaire du Comite americain, comme troisieme vi ce-pres ident.

Le PRESIDENT insiste sur Ie fait que Ie Bureau ne fait toutefois que pre­ senter des suggestions. crest a Ilassemblee qulil appartient de prendre les decisions. II lui demande donc si elle a, de son cote, des candidatures a faire valoir pour Ie Bureau. Comme la reponse est negative, Ie PRESIDENT consulte Ilassembiee sur Ie mode de vote: global ou par poste ? L'assemblee sletant prononcee pour un vote global, elle repond a une nouvelle question du president en choisissant de voter a main levee et adopte de cette maniere, a Ilunanimite, I es propositions du Bureau.

Le Bureau est des lors compose de la maniere suivante :President :M.Michel; vice-presidents : MM. General Ji! ine, Marjanovi c, Funk; secretaire general: M. Vanwelkenhuyzen; tresorier: M. Paape.

Le PRESIDENT fait observer que la nouvelle composition du Bureau amene a modifier I'article 3 des statuts. Celui-ci stipule que Ie Bureau "est forme de : un president, deux vice-presidents, ... ". Le nouveau texte devrait etre: "un president, plusieurs vice-presidents, .•. iI.

La modification proposee est adoptee a Ilunanimite.

Le PRESIDENT signale une autre modification que Pexperience recommande d1apporter aux statuts. L'articie 5 precise qu'il appartient a la Commission executive de fixer les cotisations annueiles. Le PRESiDENT rappelle que ia Commission executive a ete creee pour que Ie Bureau ne reste pas isole en­ tre les reunions plenieres o Le mandat des membres de ladite commission est de 2 ans 1/2. Mais Ie Bureau se reunit plus facilement et sans frais. Ii pa­ ralt donc pius pratique de donner au Bureau Ie soin de fixer les cotisations et de modifier, par consequent, I'article 5 comme suit: IlLes frais de fonc­ 5. (23) tionnement du Comite sont assures par les cotisations annuelles de sesmem­ bres fixees par Ie Bureau selon les circonstances et selon les besoins, ••• ".

La modification proposee est adoptee a Ilunanimite.

V. Composition de la Commission executive

Le PRESIDENT rappelle que la Commission executive a une raison d'etre. Aux termes de I'article 6 des statuts, elle tranche les litiges en deuxieme instance. Le cas ne s'est jamais presentee Mais il faut maintenir la commis­ sion et donc la composer. II convient de Ie faire, au surplus, en veillant a ce qu'elle comporte toujours un representant d1une ai re geographique donnee.

De la deliberation qui suit sedegage la composition que voici des deux com­ missions successives : a) Commission executive pour la periode du 27 aout 1975 au 31 decembre 1977: CariEida;-Fic;ngrlEi~-fncre~-Ita1re,-Norvege,-poTogne;-R-:F.-A:-~-RoumanlEi:---­ b) Commission executive pour la periode du 1er janvier 1978 a aout 1980 : A16anre,-AutrlcFiEi~-aresn~-Bulgarre,-CoreeClU-5uef,-Flnrande,--rrrande­ Bretagne, Indonesie, R. D. A., Suede, Tchecoslovaquie, Turquie.

Ces dispositions sont adoptees a Ilunanimite.

VI. Projets de travaux

Le PRESIDENT donne lecture d1une lettre de M. Rochat au sujet du Bulletin. Celui-ci ne contient que ce qui est adresse au secretaire general. \I depend des informations fournies par les comites nationaux. De la I 'importance d'informations regulieres pour alimenter les deux livraisons annuelles. La diffusion depend egalement des comites nationaux et leurs besoins determi­ nent Ie tirage. Le Bulletin est envoye dans 46 pays differents.

Le PRESIDENT passe alors aux projets de colloques. j I rappel Ie qu'il est difficile d'en tenir plus de deux par an, Pun au printem'Js, I'autre en autom­ nee Le prochain est prevu a Florence, en novembre 19'/5 1 et traitera du Gouvernement Parri (~Id. Le suivant aura lieu a Oslo du 15 au 19 aout 1976. Le Comite polonais a prevu, de son cote, un colloque en 1977.

M. SKODVIN apporte des precisions sur Ie colloque dlOslo. Son sujet sera ilLes grandes puissances et les Etats scandinaves en 1939-1940". II sera organise par Ie Comite norvegien avec les autres comites scandinaves et en coli aboration avec I es differents comi tes d1h istoire mil itaire et avec les services historiques des forces armees. Comme des I imitations s'imposent, la priorite sera accordee aux specialistes qui ont des informations aapporter.

M. JEDRUSZCZAK explique que Ie colloque organise par Ie Comite polonais aura lieu probablement en septembre 1977. II traitera de liLa cui ture pendant la seconde guerre mondiale". Les organisateurs esperent recueillir a I'avance une dizaine de rapports de 20 a 25 pages dactylographiees en pro_ venance de divers pays. L'ensemble sera publie avant Ie colloque etservira

(*) N. D. L. R. Aux dernieres nouvelles, des raisons d1organisation ont oblige Ie Comite itaiien a reporter Ie colloque de Florence au printemos 1976. II aura lieu les 26, 27 et 28 mars 1976. 6. (24) de base de di scuss ion. Un rapport general suivra, oeuvre de M. Madajczyk, qui fournira, lui aussi, une base de discussion. La publication se fera au­ tant que possible dans la langue d'origine : allemand, anglais, espagnol, franc;;ais, ital ien, russe.

M. FUNK rappelle qu'en vertu de ses statuts Ie Comite amerlcain organise un colloque tous les deux ans. Les prochains se situeront donc en 1977 et en 1979.

M. RANKI annonce I'intention du Comite hongrois d1organiser, en 1978, un colloque qui abordera simultanement deux themes: d1une part "L 1exploita­ tion economique des pays occupes" et, d1autre part, "Le role de la presse cI andestine". Les travaux se derouleront separement.

M. ELAZAR fait savoir que Ie Comite bulgare se propose d'organiser, en avril ou en mai 1977, un colloque sur liLa Resistance antifasciste dans les pays satell ites de I 'Allemagne" •

M. DOUGLAS declare qu1au printemps de 1977 un colloque sur Dieppe aura I ieu au Canada. Le parrainage du Comite international est envisage.

M. ZAHARIA rappel Ie que XVeme Congres international des Sciences his­ toriques se tiendra en Roumanie, en aoOt 1980. A cette occasion, Ie Comite roumain organisera une ou deux journees consacrees a I'histoire de la seconde guerre mondiale.

Le PRESIDENT fait part des reflexions du Bureau au sujet d'un theme a proposer pour Ie congres de 1980. Le Bureau a songe a un theme assez large pour que tout Ie monde puisse presenter des rapports. II suggere : liLa propagande pendant I a guerre : ses moyens, ses methodes, I' image de Ilennemi, ses resultats ll •

Le theme propose est adopte a I 'unanimite.

Le PRESIDENT dit son espoir que des colloques seront organises encore ailieurs qu'en Europe et en Amerique.

M. SAITO repond que Ie Japon, la Coree du Sud et I'lndon'§sie envisagent d'organiser en commun un colloque qui aurait I ieu en 1978.

I. Communication du President

Le PRESIDENT remercie M. Francovich de son hospi~al ite. II, rappel I.e que Ie Comite international profite des colloques po~r tenlr des reunions mfor:­ melles. II fait les presentations et saisit lIoccas 1•o n .pour, rend~e hommag.e.a l'ancien secretaire general, M. G. Rochat, dont II tlent a SOUllgne~.la dl.II­ gence. II salue la presence de Mme D. Dontas, qui represente le~ .I~torlens grecs. Ceux-ci ont ete longtemps empeches de particip~r. aux actlvlt,es du Comite international. II n1y a donc pas de nouvelle adhesion demandee.

II. Publication des actes de San Francisco

Le SECRETAIRE .GENERAL rappel Ie qu'en principe Ie Comite inte~~a~ional ne fait pas de publications. Celles-ci sont faites sous la resp:,nsab'llt~ des auteurs ou des comites nationaux. Le Comite americain co~nal~ toutefols une situation particuliere. II n'a d'autre ressource que les cot~satlO,ns ~e ses membres. Or it serait dommage que les commun}cation~ p,resentees-c,~t~~n(' Francisco no soicnt pas rassemblecs sous une ,orme a~sement con:::~I','j.I:. ~ Des echanges de vucs sont donc en cours, qui slachem I nent ver.s u~c -::;.1, t I ~)r, peu onereuse, en offprint, limitee aux rapports principau.x et dls~r'buee p:lr les soins des comites nationaux. La formule en vue est 11Imp.re,sslon de 1. ~OO copies. Elle coOterait 1000 $. La moitie de \a depense seralt a la charge du Comite americain. 2.

Le PRESIDENT explique que Ie Comite international s'est trouve devant un chr)i.y. : ou bien laisser les actes se perdre ou faire une exception a la regie. II a eu ensuite a considerer Ie coOt de !'operation. La formule envisagee est celie qui comporte Ie moindre engagement. Toutefois rien n'est encore decide. Le secretaire general interrogera les membres du Comite international. Le tirage envisage ne depassera pas les 1.500 exemplaires. Pour sa part, Ie Comite fran

III. Prochains collogues

Le SECRETAIRE GENERAL enumere les projets de colloque dont il a connais­ sance et qui seront parraines par Ie Comite international: Varsovie, au prin­ temps 1977: "La vie culturelle pendant la seconde guerre mondiale"; en Bulga­ riel en 1977 a une date a determiner, liLa Resistance antifasciste dans les pays satellites de I'Allemagne"; a Budapest, en 1978 a une date a determiner, "Le role de la presse clandestine"; en Roumanie, en aoOt 1980, a 1I0ccasion du XVeme Congres international des Sciences historiques, liLa propagande pendant I a guerre: ses moyens, ses methodes, ('image de "ennemi, ses resul­ tats". D1autre part, un colloque se tiendra du 15 au 19 aoOt 1976 a Oslo. II aura pour theme ilLes grandes puissances et les Etats scandinaves en 1939­ 1940". II ne se placera toutefois pas sous Ie parrainage du Comite international. Enfi n, des projets sont a !'etude. L 'un aurait I ieu en Grande-Bretagne et con­ gernerait ilLes gouvernements en exi I a Londres de 1939 a 1945 1' et I'autre, organise aParis, traiterait de "La defaite de la Francell • Mais ce ne sont la encore que de s impl es projets. M. SIERPOWSKI confirme que Ie colloque prevu a Varsovie aura lieu au prin• temps 1977. M. BOJINOV precise que,le colloque annonce en Bulgarie se tien• dra en octobre 1977 a Sofia ou a Varna. Le Comite bulgare espere editer les actes du colloque. Son titre sera "Le mouvement antifasciste dans les pays du pacte tripartite". Ce nouvel intitule fait toutefois Ilobjet dlun echange de vues dont il ressort que Ie theme envisage gagnerait sans doute a etre quelque peu precise. M. GYULA expose que Ie Comite hongrois a I 'intention d'organiser au printemps 1978 Ie colloque sur "La presse illegale pendant la deuxieme guerre mondi al e". II s loccupera tant du rol e de I a presse cl andestine que des probl e• mes de methodologie que son etude impl ique.

Le PRESIDENT signale qu'il a rec;;u du Commander Douglas une lettre au sujet d1une conference sur Dieppe qui aura I ieu au Canada. M. LAVOIE precise qu1elle sera organisee par Ie Comite canadien en collaboration avec Ie College militaire royal du Can~da. Le raid d1aoOt 1942 a Dieppe appelle encore des eclaircissements. Les archives permettent d'en revoir l'interpretation. II sera question egalement de la resonance de Iloperation dans les pays anglo-saxons. La conference est prevue pour Ie printemps 1977.

Le PRESIDENT expose qu'il y a trois types de colloques : ceux qui traitent dlun theme general permettant a tout Ie monde d'intervenir; ceux quiabordent des sujets moins larges, concernant un groupe de pays; ceux, enfin, qui etu­ dient un point precis. Toutes ces formules ont leur interet. Le PRESIDENT constate par ailleurs qu'il est malaise de prevoir plus de deux colloques par an. Lljdeal est que I'un se tienne au printemps et I'autre en automne. II sugSJ(~r'e donc que les Comites canadien et polonais slentendent pour prevoir un inter­ valle suffisant entre leurs manifestations. En outre, il signale qu'il a ete saisi dlune proposition du Comite turc. Elle devrait se realiser en septembre lY'/b. 3. Sa nature exacte reste toutefois a preciser. Le Comite bresil ien, de son cote, envisage un colloque en 1977. La aussi il faut attendre de plu'; amples informations. Enfin, Ie Comite suisse examine la possibilite dlorganiser, au plus tot pour Ilautomne 1978, un colloque sur liLa neutral ite pendant la guerre". Le programme slannonce donc charge. Dans ces conditions, si Ie Com.ite bri­ tannique retient son projet, il conviendrait qu'il se realise en 1978 ou en 1979. Le Com i te franc;;ai s, pour sa part, caresse I 'espoi r d'organiser un coil oque sur liLa defaite de la France", qui aurait lieu en 1979 ou 1980. II etudierait les problemes institutionnels, demographiques, voire militaires de Ilentre­ deux-guerres et se pencherait aussi sur les consequences de la campagne de mai-juin 1940, notamment sur la societe franc;;aise au lendemain de la defaite. Et Ie PRESIDENT de conclure que cette abondance de projets atteste la vita­ lite du Comite international.

Le PRESIDENT regrette que Ie colloque dlOslo ne pourra pas se derouler sous Ie parrainage du Comite international. Mais les conditions de son orga­ nisation ne Ie permettent pas. A I'encontre de la tradition, ses promoteurs ne prennent pas en charge Ie sejour des membres du Comi te international. II s leur demandent au contraire un droit d'inscription. Enfin, la seule langue prevue est Ilanglais. II en resulte qulil nly aura pas de rapport franc;;ais. Dans ces circonstances, et tout en Ie deplorant, Ie Comite international a estime ne pas pouvoir accorder son parrainage au colloque d'Oslo.

IV. Parution du Bulletin de Nouvelles

Le SECRETAIRE GENERAL expl ique les raisons pour lesquelles Ie Bulletin n'a pas encore paru. Des absences dans Ie personnel ont empeche II impres­ sion. La redaction sera revue pour tenir compte du congres de Florence. r--­ (28)

V. Cotisation des membres a titre individuel

Le PRESIDENT rappelle que seuls les comites ou les institutions membres paient jusqu I a present une cot isation. Les membres a ti tre individuel benefi­ cient pourtant eux aussi des services offerts par Ie Comite international. 11 n'est donc que juste qu'ils contribuent egalement a son financement. Mais crest la un point qui ne pourra etre regie qu1au cours d'une reunion plus represen­ tative.

VI. Divers

A I'invitation du President, M. Gustave MALAN rend compte des activites quljl a developpees au sein de I'lnstitut universitaire d'Etudes europeennes de Tu­ rin. II a deja publ ie un guide introductif de la documentation americaine sur la Resistance europeenne. L'objet de lljnstitution turinoise est en effet de recher­ cher les sources extra-europeennes. Son propos n'est pas de les mettre ei le­ meme en oeuvre. Elle veut seulement fournir de la documentation aux histo­ riens. Son ambition est d'etendre son action a la collecte de sources orales. II se propose du reste d'organiser cet ete, a Pral i, des journees consacree~ aux problemes poses par l'histoil1'e orale.

Le PRESIDENT soul igne que Ie Comite international ne revendique aucun monopole. II est ouvert a toutes les initiatives. Une preuve en est erlL.lJ( <;; I ... presence de M. Paolo Gobetti. 4. M. GOBETTI expl ique qu'une nouvelle orientation de ses activites est Ie deve­ loppement de I 'histoire orale au plan audio-visuel par I'usage du magnetoscope. Son emploi confere une dimension supplementaire aux temoignages et pose d'ailleurs des problemes de methode specifiques.

Le PRESIDENT cons tate qu1une des missions du Bulletin du Comite interna­ tional peut etre precisement de faire connaftre ces diverses activites.

M. KUM'A N'DUMBE signale quljl serait heureux de prendre contact avec des chercheurs ayant travai lie sur les problemes coloniaux pendant la seconde guerre mondiale. II fera parvenir une courte note dans ce sens pour qu'elle soH inseree dans un prochaih BUlletin.

La seance est I evee a 19 h 35.
