    F.L. McDougall: Éminence Grise of Australian Economic Diplomacy by Sean Turnell [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the principal economic ideas of F.L. McDougall, a largely forgotten sometime government official and ‘amateur’ economist who exercised an enigmatic influence upon Australia’s economic diplomacy in the inter-war years. Beginning with his conception of ‘sheltered markets’, the international manifestation of the Bruce Government’s vision for Australia of ‘men, money and markets’, the paper will explore McDougall’s later advocacy of a ‘nutrition approach’ to world agriculture and its extension into ‘economic appeasement’. McDougall’s ideas were theoretically unsophisticated, and realised little in the way of immediate achievements. In the longer run they could be viewed more favourably. Naïve perhaps and idealistic certainly, McDougall's ideas were part of a broader movement that, after the Second World War, redefined the role of international economic institutions. If nothing else, McDougall's active proselytising of his ideas lent Australia an unusual 'voice' in international forums at a time when it was scarcely heard. INTRODUCTION Rated by Hudson (1980, p.7) as ‘perhaps the most under-estimated man in twentieth-century Australian history’, Frank McDougall was (formally) merely a lobbyist on behalf of the Australian Government and certain agricultural interests in London in the inter-war years. Less formally, he was a more influential figure. The representative ‘face’ of Australia in imperial and international forums, McDougall was also the author of many of the positions Australia adopted to these forums and, in company with his patron and collaborator, the former Prime Minister and then High Commissioner in London, S.M.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The creation of an international organisation bringing together the needs of the hungry and the interests of farmers seems so logical that it is hard to imagine how revolutionary it was in the first half of the twentieth century. The idea of international organisation was itself new. Late nineteenth and early twentieth-century advances in communications had made it feasible. The advent of professional scientists and other experts meant it could become a means of pooling knowledge and experience. International congresses and societies to share expertise in medicine had existed from the mid nineteenth century. Efforts to stem epidemic diseases brought further cooperation, but it was only after World War I, when the newly created League of Nations Council called for an organisation that would fight disease but also strive to prevent it, that programs to promote better health on an international scale were envisaged. The League of Nations Health Organization (LNHO) undertook work on public hygiene. Scientific studies in various countries increasingly showed poor levels of nutrition in many social groups; the LNHO published its own authoritative report on the problem in 1935. Agricultural crises in the late nineteenth century provided a challenge, suggesting, for the first time, that international cooperation in agriculture might be desirable. The most notable response was the formation in 1905 of the International Institute of Agriculture, a body conceived as a world federation of farmers collecting and exchanging technological and market information to improve their own profitability. But in the crisis of the depression of the 1930s much more help was needed. In 1935 the ‘marriage of health and agriculture’ was first promulgated at the League of Nations.

  • Matters of Taste: the Politics of Food and Hunger in Divided Germany 1945-1971
    Matters of Taste: The Politics of Food and Hunger in Divided Germany 1945-1971 by Alice Autumn Weinreb A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Kathleen M. Canning, Co-Chair Associate Professor Scott D. Spector, Co-Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Alaina M. Lemon Acknowledgements The fact that I would become a German historian had never crossed my mind ten years ago – that the past decade has made me one is entirely due to the remarkable number of people who have helped me in ways that even now I cannot fully grasp. Nonetheless, I suppose that these acknowledgements are as good a place as any to start a lifetime's worth of thanking. It all began at Columbia, where Professor Lisa Tiersten suggested that I go abroad, a suggestion that sent me for the first time to Germany. Five years later, when I first considered going to graduate school, she was the person I turned to for advice; her advice, as always, was excellent – and resulted in my becoming a German historian. During my first chaotic and bizarre years in Berlin, Professors Christina von Braun and Renate Brosch went out of their way to help a confused and hapless young American integrate herself into Humboldt University and get a job to pay the admittedly ridiculously low rent of my coal-heated Kreuzberg apartment. Looking back, it still amazes me how their generosity and willingness to help completely transformed my future.

  • Preface and Acknowledgments
    Preface and Acknowledgments It is now some 30 years since I joined the Historical Documents Section of the Department of Foreign Affairs, to find that my first major task would be to edit a volume of letters written throughout the 1920s by Frank Lidgett McDougall to Australian Prime Minister Stanley Melbourne Bruce.1 I knew a little of Bruce, having read some of his papers concerning his wartime work as High Commissioner in London. The name McDougall had cropped up occasionally in those papers, attached to cables about wheat, but I knew nothing more of him. W. J. (Bill) Hudson, Editor of Historical Documents in the Department of Foreign Affairs, had begun a series of volumes on early Australian foreign policy by publishing R. G. Casey’s letters reporting to Bruce on political events in London.2 Having discovered that the Bruce papers included a similar file of letters from McDougall on trade and economic matters, he thought they would make a valuable complementary volume. He wrote to McDougall’s daughter Elisabeth, then working in the British Foreign Office, that ‘the Bruce papers now make it clear that much of Bruce’s most interesting and constructive ideas in fact were your father’s or were stimulated by him’. Elisabeth welcomed the proposal for publication and offered to have what papers she possessed copied at Australia House; a set was made for our use and another for the National Library of Australia.3 As we worked on the letters, my colleagues and I were awed by the energy and devotion McDougall brought to his work, and saddened to think that he remained so little known in Australia.

  • Présentation De Monsieur Jacques Attali Par Monsieur Edouard
    Présentation de Monsieur Jacques Attali par Monsieur Edouard Saouma Directeur général de l’organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture à la 17ème Conférence McDougall Rome, 9 novembre 1991 Monsieur le Président de la Conférence Monsieur le Président de la Banque européenne Excellences, Mesdames, Messieurs, Comme nous le savons tous, la Conférence McDougall fut instituée pour honorer et perpétuer le souvenir de l’un des pères fondateurs de l’Organisation, un grand pionnier de l’œuvre que nous poursuivons encore aujourd’hui. Les faits les plus marquants de sa longue carrière nous sont connus : avec John Boyd Orr, Stanley Bruce, André Mayer, Frank Lidgett McDougall fut l’un des premiers à comprendre le drame de la sous- alimentation et de la malnutrition au milieu d’une surabondance qui conduisait à la mévente et à la destruction des excédents; il fut aussi l’un des premiers à susciter, dans le cadre de la Société des Nations, une réaction internationale à la mesure de cette crise gigantesque. C’est lui qui fit comprendre au Président Roosevelt la nécessité de créer en vue de l’après-guerre un mécanisme international pour traiter des problèmes de l’alimentation et de l’agriculture, et le convainquit d’organiser en 1943 la Conférence de Hot Springs qui devait aboutir à la création de la FAO à Québec en 1945. Quand l’histoire nous rapporte des faits et gestes relevant à l’évidence d’une vocation prophétique, nous nous interrogeons toujours sur celui qui vécut une telle expérience, sur l’homme dont la lucidité et l’énergie le conduisirent à jouer un tel rôle.
