  • New Evidence on the Korean War
    176 COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT BULLETIN 11 New Evidence on the Korean War Editor’s note: The documents featured in this section of the Bulletin present new evidence on the allegations that the United States used bacteriological weapons during the Korean War. In the accompanying commentaries, historian Kathryn Weathersby and scientist Milton Leitenberg (University of Maryland) provide analysis, context and interpretation of these documents. Unlike other documents published in the Bulletin, these documents, first obtained and published (in Japanese) by the Japanese newspaper Sankei Shimbun, have not been authenticated by access to the archival originals (or even photocopies thereof). The documents were copied by hand in the Russian Presidential Archive in Moscow, then typed. Though both commentators believe them to be genuine based on textual analysis, questions about the authenticity of the documents, as the commentators note, will remain until the original documents become available in the archives. Copies of the typed transcription (in Russian) have been deposited at the National Security Archive, a non-governmental research institute and repository of declassified documents based at George Washington University (Gelman Library, Suite 701; 2130 H St., NW; Washington, DC 20037; tel: 202/994-7000; fax: 202/ 994-7005) and are accessible to researchers. CWIHP welcomes the discussion of these new findings and encourages the release of the originals and additional materials on the issue from Russian, Chinese, Korean and U.S. archives. Deceiving the Deceivers: Moscow, Beijing, Pyongyang, and the Allegations of Bacteriological Weapons Use in Korea By Kathryn Weathersby n January 1998 the Japanese newspaper Sankei raised by their irregular provenance? Their style and form Shimbun published excerpts from a collection of do not raise suspicion.

  • Dollar Shortage and Oil Surplus in 1949-1950
    ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE No. II, November 1950 DOLLAR SHORTAGE AND OIL SURPLUS IN 1949-1950 HORST MENDERSHAUSEN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE SECTION - DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Princeton, New Jersey The present essay is the eleventh in the series ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE published by the International Finance Section of the Department of Economics and Social Institutions in Princeton Uni- versity. The author, Dr. Horst Mendershausen, has been associated with the National Bureau of Economic Research, Bennington College, and the United States Military Government for Germany. He is now an economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Nothing in this study should be considered an expression of the views of that institution. While the Section sponsors the essays of this series, it takes no further responsibility for the opinions therein expressed. The writers are free to develop their topics as they will and their ideas may or may not be shared by the editorial committee of the Section or the members of the Department. • GARDNER PATTERSON, Director International Finance Section DOLLAR SHORTAGE AND OIL SURPLUS IN 1949-1950 BY HORST MENDERSHAUSEN* , I. SURVEY OF ISSUES ECOVERY from the effects of World War II led the Western European countries on to a broad issue: Should they seek eco- nomic viability in a progressive integration of the non-Soviet world or in narrower frameworks implying some discrimination against United States commerce? Since their dollar needs showed a persistent tendency to exceed dollar availabilities during the recovery period and their dollar reserves proved either too small or too volatile, many coun- tries, in particular Britain, found it necessary to make preparations for the latter alternative.

    on Women Workers * U. S. Department of Labor Women s Bureau ’ACTS Maurice J. Tobin, Secretary Frieda S. Miller, Director WASHINGTON 25, D. C. ............. library February 28, 1950 A. S M. COLLEGE OF TEXAS FMPLOIMENT OF WCMBN IN JANUAKT 1950 The woman labor force increased by more than 3/4 million from January 1949 to January 1950, according to figures issued by the U. S. Bureau of the Census. This increase represents a rise of 230,000 in the number employed and a rise of 565,000 in the number unemployed. The number of women employed in agriculture decreased considerably, while those in nonagricultural employment increased. Between December 1949 and January 1950 the woman labor force decreased, owing largely to the withdrawal of extra workers employed in stores during the holiday season and of unpaid workers who had been helping on family farms. _____________________ January 1950___________________________ Number of Percent women Change since Change since women of all persons December 1949 January 1949 Population (14 years and over) 56,096,000 50.9 ♦ 43,000 ♦ 637,000 Civilian labor force 17,712,000 28.8 - 568,000 ♦ 795,000 Employed 16,494,000 29.0 - 769,000 ♦ 230,000 In agriculture 625,000 10 a - 224,000 — 181,000 In nonagricultural industries 15,869,000 31.3 - 545,000 ♦ 411,000 Unemployed 1,218,000 27.2 ♦ 201,000 ♦ 565,000 Armed forces 21,000 1<5 None 4 6,000 Nonworkers 38,363,000 80.9 ♦ 616,000 - 164,000 (U.

  • Joseph Mccarthy: Democrats and Communists (1950)
    Joseph McCarthy: Democrats and Communists (1950) As suggested by the following speech delivered to a Republican women's club in Wheeling, West Virginia, Senator Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin became a master at making outlandish charges about domestic subversion – and getting away with it. He declared that the United States was losing the cold war because the Truman administration was infested with scores of known communists; moreover, he claimed to have the names of205 of them. Those who questioned his methods found themselves the subject of vicious attacks and smear campaigns. In July 1950 a Senate subcommittee chaired by Maryland Democrat Millard Tydings dismissed McCarthy's charges as "a fraud and a hoax." McCarthy thereupon turned on Tydings and helped undermine his reelection campaign. From Congressional Record, 31st Cong., 2nd sess., 12 February 1950, pp. 1954-1957. Today we are engaged in a final all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity. The modern champions of communism have selected this as the time, and ladies and gentlemen, the chips are down-they are truly down.... Five years after a world war has been won, men's hearts should anticipate a long peace, and men's minds should be free from the heavy weight that comes with war. But this is not such a period – for this is not a period of peace. This is a time of the "cold war." This is a time when all the world is split into two vast, increasingly hostile camps – a time of a great armaments race.... At war's end we were physically the strongest nation on earth-and at least potentially the most powerful intellectually and morally.
