Haeremai, Te Waka! the 1925 United
Haeremai, Te Waka! THE 1925 UNITED STATES FLEET VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND AND ITS STRATEGIC CONTEXT 'THIS REMOTE outpost in the Pacific', the Evening Post wrote of New Zealand in 1925,'... looks upon the American fleet as a friend and protector.' Evoking memories of the Great White Fleet's voyage in 1908, this armada of US warships visited the Australasian dominions during July and August 1925, paying homage to that 'uncovenanted friendship between the British Empire and the United States which... is the strongest guarantee for the security of both parties and the peace of the world'.1 This impressive piece of seafaring, unlike the global cruise of the Great White Fleet, has not been fully analyzed.2 The absence of any published account of the New Zealand part of the visit creates an entirely false impression about its significance. This article is intended to rectify the situation not only by recounting the events of 1925, but also by examining the politico- strategic context of the voyage. The United States evolved a threefold policy towards the Far East in the period after the European war: exclusion of 'Asiatics'; maintenance of the 'Open Door' in China; and retention of the Philippines. The level of commitment which Washington displayed towards these goals both waxed and waned. An acrimon- ious debate broke out, too, about how effectively the US could safeguard its interests. With non-participation in the League of Nations confirmed, the defensive arm of American policy in the Far East was the US Navy, which relied, like the Royal Navy, upon Admiral Mahan's notion of a 'Fleet-in-Being' rather than on a regional presence. -

Security Without War a Post-Cold War Foreign Policy
SECURITY WITHOUT WAR A POST-COLD WAR FOREIGN POLICY Michael H. Shuman and Hal Harvey With a Foreward by Senator Paul Simon Westview Press Boulder • San Francisco • Oxford You will say at once that although the abolition of war has been the dream of man for centuries, every proposition to that end has been promptly discarded as impossible and fantastic. Every cynic, every pessimist, every adventurer, every swashbuckler in the world has always disclaimed its feasibility....But now the tremendous and present evolution of nuclear and other potentials of destruction has suddenly taken the problem away from its primary consideration as a moral and spiritual question and brought it abreast of scientific realism. It is no longer an ethical equation to be pondered solely by learned philosophers and ecclesiastics but a hard core one for the decision of the masses whose survival is the issue. – General Douglas MacArthur, 1955 CONTENTS Foreward, Senator Paul Simon Acknowledgments Introduction (n/a) Cold War Policies in a Post-Cold-War World Toward a New View of Security Organization of the Book Part I.

The Historic Deerfield Train Station
TH E HISTORIC DEERFIELD TRAIN STATION Deerfield, IL www.deerfieldlibrary.org 2018 text: Dylan Zavagno The first train station in Deerfield was built in 1871 by the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, known as the Milwaukee Road, which, as the name suggests, connected Chicago to the West on its main line. The first station was a simple boxcar located near Central Ave. Before train travel came to Deerfield, you’d have to take a horse and buggy to Chicago—or walk to the Highland Park train station. today appears it as station The Deerfield had long been a resting place for travelers between Chicago and Milwaukee. John Kinzie “Indian” Clark, would stop in the area on his Chicago-Milwaukee mail route, which followed Waukegan Rd., an old Native American trail. An early Deerfield settler, Lyman Wilmot, was an abolitionist whose home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Wilmot’s son reflected on the hangec to the town the railroad brought, writing in a diary entry on New Year’s Eve, 1874: “Now as I write the shades of the last evening...are gathering fast, the sky is cloudy & as I look out of the east windows of the dining room & About the author see the smoke from the engine of a long freight train rising as a cloud as Dylan Zavagno is the Adult Services Coordinator at the Deerfield ublicP Library where he hosts the Deerfield the train rushes on up the grain, we are now in a living moving world & Public Library Podcast, featuring interviews authors, artists, and other notable people. -
