Ralph Talcott Fisher Jr, Pattern for Soviet Youth (New York: Columbia University Press, 1959), p. 12. 2. The International Union of Socialist Youth Organizations (IUSYO) had been founded in Stuttgart in August 1907. It had been taken over by Miinzenberg during the First World War, while its leaders were absent. Under his direc­ tion, the IUS YO, renamed The International Centre of the Organizations of Socialist Youth (CIOJS), was to undergo profound structural changes. 3. E. H. Carr, The Bolshevik Revolution, 1917 to 1923 (London: Macmillan, 1952), p. 448. 4. His departure completed the total sovietization of the KIM. According to Margarete Huber-Neumann, from that time onwards Miinzenberg became aware of the danger the sovereign claims of the Russian party created for the international working-class movement. Cf. La revolution mondiale. L'his­ toire du Komintern ( 1919-1943), racontee par l'un de ses principaux temoins (Tournai: Casterman 1971). 5. Miinzenberg had all the talents of a captain of industry. Within a very short time he built up, independently of the international socialist organization, a chain of publishing houses, magazines, daily papers, a film company - in short a giant conglomerate that those within the Party called the 'Konzern Miinzenberg'. Heading this enormous financial empire, he devoted himself selflessly to the promotion of communism. Through his network of organiza­ tions, which stretched from England to Japan, he controlled a large number of periodicals (in Japan alone he edited, directly or indirectly, 19 publications in the 1930s), staged theatrical productions and produced films. It was through him that the products of the young Soviet film industry were distri­ buted in Europe. He arranged for masterpieces such as Battleship Potemkin, Mother, Storm over Asia and other famous films of great directors such as Eisenstein, Poudovkine, Ozep and so on, to be shown in Berlin and thus revealed to an enthusiastic Western public. 6.

Henri Barbusse, You are the Pioneers, Being a Report of the World Youth Congress Against Fascism and War (London: Utopia Press, 1933). 12. Jacques Varin in Jeunes comme JC, op. cit., records only the anti-fascist aspect of the Congress, systematically erasing all the antidemocratic, anti­ socialist and anti-League of Nations rhetoric. 13. In his work, Varin describes the Paris meeting as having taken place under the aegis of the League of Nations! 14. 'Build the united front of democratic countries against dictatorship? This is the most up-to-date manoeuvre of democratic imperialism: in reality it means the setting of one group against another, huge business wars, a flag covering a vast commercial bargaining, which will end as always in the crushing of the masses (Barbusse You are the Pioneers, op. cit., pp. II, 12). Note the slightly peculiar English of Barbusse. 15. 'The enemy is not a foreign one. It [sic] is not found in a distant land. The enemy attacks the workers' wages and conditions. It is here.

The real story of the War in Pictures (London, 1934 }, 17 pp. 16. Ibid. p. 16. 17. 'We will fight, but not for capitalism. Now we can see that the enemy is our own country. The question is to organize the fight. We reject the slogan of the Defence of the Fatherland. The fatherland of Vickers and Baldwin is not our Fatherland. We have no quarrels with the youth of foreign countries, but on the contrary we will fight in common with them', Hit Back - & Win: A call from the national youth against War and Fascism held at Sheffield on August 4th and 5th, 1934 (London: Youth Anti-War Council), p. 7. 18. I say 'seemed' because it has popularly been assumed (not least by Ribbentrop, then the obtuse German ambassador to the Court of StJames, who reported back to Hitler that the elite of British youth was riddled with pacifism) that all those who voted for that resolution were indeed pacifists. But some of those present at the debate recall that many supporters of the motion argued that 'King and Country' were indeed jingoistic and outdated concepts for which they would refuse to fight: but they would be prepared to fight for a noble cause- as indeed many of them would do when the war broke out. 19 Varin, Jeunes comme JC, op. cit., p. 153. 20.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe GREAT BRITAIN ix years of Socialist rule came to an end at the General Election of Octo- S ber 25, 1951. Britain, however, expressed only a narrow preferment for the Conservative Party and Prime Minister Winston Churchill's administra- tion had a lead of only sixteen seats in the House of Commons, as compared with Labor's rule during the preceding twenty months with a majority of six. Political commentators had foretold a landslide for the Conservative Party but Labor retained a plurality of the total votes cast. As in previous years, domestic issues were most persistent in the campaign; but while the cost of living and the housing problem were the dominant issues, the loss of prestige suffered by Britain in the Middle East as a result of the dispute with Iran and the denunciation by Egypt of its 1936 treaty with Great Britain were undoubtedly factors in terminating the Socialist regime. In its attitude to Germany and Western Europe, Conservative policy did not radically vary from its predecessor's, promising only limited participation in any scheme for European unity. The Labor Party voted against ratification of the Contrac- tual Agreement with the Bonn Government in July 1952 on the grounds that this agreement was premature, offering Germany rearmament that would per- manently divide the country and sharpen divisions with Russia before all possibilities of German unification had been explored. Nor was the Labor Party satisfied that Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had the full backing of the West German people. Issues affecting the Jews were absent from the 1951 election, and only a few minor anti-Semitic manifestations occurred during the campaign.

  • Does the Daily Paper Rule Britannia’:1 the British Press, British Public Opinion, and the End of Empire in Africa, 1957-60
    The London School of Economics and Political Science ‘Does the Daily Paper rule Britannia’:1 The British press, British public opinion, and the end of empire in Africa, 1957-60 Rosalind Coffey A thesis submitted to the International History Department of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, August 2015 1 Taken from a reader’s letter to the Nyasaland Times, quoted in an article on 2 February 1960, front page (hereafter fp). All newspaper articles which follow were consulted at The British Library Newspaper Library. 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99, 969 words. 2 Abstract This thesis examines the role of British newspaper coverage of Africa in the process of decolonisation between 1957 and 1960. It considers events in the Gold Coast/Ghana, Kenya, the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, South Africa, and the Belgian Congo/Congo.

  • Members of Parliament Disqualified Since 1900 This Document Provides Information About Members of Parliament Who Have Been Disqu
    Members of Parliament Disqualified since 1900 This document provides information about Members of Parliament who have been disqualified since 1900. It is impossible to provide an entirely exhaustive list, as in many cases, the disqualification of a Member is not directly recorded in the Journal. For example, in the case of Members being appointed 5 to an office of profit under the Crown, it has only recently become practice to record the appointment of a Member to such an office in the Journal. Prior to this, disqualification can only be inferred from the writ moved for the resulting by-election. It is possible that in some circumstances, an election could have occurred before the writ was moved, in which case there would be no record from which to infer the disqualification, however this is likely to have been a rare occurrence. This list is based on 10 the writs issued following disqualification and the reason given, such as appointments to an office of profit under the Crown; appointments to judicial office; election court rulings and expulsion. Appointment of a Member to an office of profit under the Crown in the Chiltern Hundreds or the Manor of Northstead is a device used to allow Members to resign their seats, as it is not possible to simply resign as a Member of Parliament, once elected. This is by far the most common means of 15 disqualification. There are a number of Members disqualified in the early part of the twentieth century for taking up Ministerial Office. Until the passage of the Re-Election of Ministers Act 1919, Members appointed to Ministerial Offices were disqualified and had to seek re-election.

  • Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution
    BANKSIDE POWER STATION: PLANNING, POLITICS AND POLLUTION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Stephen Andrew Murray Centre for Urban History University of Leicester 2014 Bankside Power Station ii Bankside Power Station: Planning, Politics and Pollution Stephen Andrew Murray Abstract Electricity has been a feature of the British urban landscape since the 1890s. Yet there are few accounts of urban electricity undertakings or their generating stations. This history of Bankside power station uses government and company records to analyse the supply, development and use of electricity in the City of London, and the political, economic and social contexts in which the power station was planned, designed and operated. The close-focus adopted reveals issues that are not identified in, or are qualifying or counter-examples to, the existing macro-scale accounts of the wider electricity industry. Contrary to the perceived backwardness of the industry in the inter-war period this study demonstrates that Bankside was part of an efficient and profitable private company which was increasingly subject to bureaucratic centralised control. Significant decision-making processes are examined including post-war urban planning by local and central government and technological decision-making in the electricity industry. The study contributes to the history of technology and the environment through an analysis of the technologies that were proposed or deployed at the post-war power station, including those intended to mitigate its impact, together with an examination of their long-term effectiveness. Bankside made a valuable contribution to electricity supplies in London until the 1973 Middle East oil crisis compromised its economic viability.

    BRIEFING PAPER Number 06579, 11 March 2020 Parliamentary Private Compiled by Secretaries to Prime Sarah Priddy Ministers since 1906 This List notes Parliamentary Private Secretaries to successive Prime Ministers since 1906. Alex Burghart was appointed PPS to Boris Johnson in July 2019 and Trudy Harrison appointed PPS in January 2020. Parliamentary Private Secretaries (PPSs) are not members of the Government although they do have responsibilities and restrictions as defined by the Ministerial Code available on the Cabinet Office website. A list of PPSs to Cabinet Ministers as at June 2019 is published on the Government’s transparency webpages. It is usual for the Leader of the Opposition to have a PPS; Tan Dhesi was appointed as Jeremy Corbyn’s PPS in January 2020. Further information The Commons Library briefing on Parliamentary Private Secretaries provides a history of the development of the position of Parliamentary Private Secretary in general and looks at the role and functions of the post and the limitations placed upon its holders.
