And We Believe Them:” The Establishment of the United States Information Agency, 1953 by Matthew J. Logan B.A., University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Jason M. Colby, Supervisor (Department of History) Dr. Greg Blue, Departmental Member (Department of History) iii Supervisory Committee Dr. Jason M. Colby, Supervisor (Department of History) Dr. Greg Blue, Departmental Member (Department of History) Abstract As the world became at once more interconnected and more polarized during the twentieth century, the need for the major powers to effectively communicate their perspective to the rest of the world through propaganda grew stronger. However, although the United States was undeniably gaining prestige and influence by the late 1930s, the upstart global power struggled to implement a lasting and successful propaganda program. In the years immediately preceding the Second World War, when the United States was targeted by both Axis and Soviet propaganda, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt proved reluctant to implement a peacetime state- sponsored propaganda program. Roosevelt’s successor Harry Truman, on the other hand, did not share this reluctance and throughout the first years of the Cold War sanctioned the establishment of several peacetime programs. However, because of Truman’s lack of understanding of and personal commitment to the use of propaganda, U.S. efforts in this field were uncoordinated, expensive, and largely ineffective. As a result, the highly centralized Soviet propaganda iv machine constantly tried to divide the United States and its allies and draw more countries into the communist camp. It was not until Dwight Eisenhower, arguably the first true psychological warrior to become president, took office in 1953 that U.S. Cold War propagandists began to match the efforts of their Soviet counterparts. Eisenhower used his organizational talents and military experiences with psychological warfare to restructure U.S. foreign information services into highly coordinated, cost-effective, and efficient Cold War weapons. With the establishment of the United States Information Agency in October 1953, the United States gained more control of its image abroad, casting both U.S. domestic and foreign policies in as favourable a light as possible while simultaneously condemning communists as disingenuous, autocratic imperialists. While U.S. officials struggled to implement effective psychological warfare programs, they were inevitably forced to confront difficult questions concerning the role of propaganda in a democratic society. Whereas a majority of Americans in the interwar period regarded propaganda as anathema, and a tool to which only fascists and communists resorted, by the time Eisenhower took office a growing number of officials had concluded that the stakes in the Cold War were simply too high to leave anything to chance. As a result, these officials argued, it was imperative that the U.S. government target not only international, but also domestic audiences with state-sponsored propaganda in order to ‘educate’ the public on U.S. Cold War objectives and the perils of communism. v Table of Contents Supervisory Committee .................................................................................................................. ii Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents………………………………………………………………………………….v List of Figures ................................................................................................................................ vi List of Abbreviations .................................................................................................................... vii Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................................... viii A Word on Terminology ................................................................................................................. x Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Chapter 1: New Beginnings (1940-1945) ..................................................................................... 11 Chapter 2: New Beginnings Redux (1945-1952).......................................................................... 36 Chapter 3: “Skillful and Constant Use of the Power of Truth” .................................................... 63 Afterword ……………………………………………………………………..……………..... 101 Bibliography ............................................................................................................................... 107 vi List of Figures Figure 1.

Thanks especially to my graduate advisor, Dr. Perry Biddiscombe, and Heather Waterlander for all their time and advice. I consider myself fortunate to have completed my studies in a department full of such interesting, charismatic, and genuinely supportive professors. I would like to acknowledge a few professors in particular who have had a tremendous and positive impact on me: Dr. Martin Bunton, for your enthusiasm and support as you guided me through my undergraduate “Long Thesis.” Dr. Greg Blue, thanks for your patience and encouragement, and for making historiography as painless as a non-theoretical historian like me could have hoped. That said, ‘Foucault’ remains the worst ‘F’ word I can think of! Dr. Rachel Cleves, I wish I could say I had some idea of the role of gender in U.S. history prior to our seminar together, but I think we can both honestly say that I had no idea. I appreciate your honest and direct approach in opening my eyes to an important aspect of a field I have spent so much time studying. For their financial support, I would like to thank the Faculty of Graduate Studies at the University of Victoria. I am grateful for the kind assistance I received from Christopher Abraham, Kevin Bailey, Catherine Cain, and Chalsea Millner at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library & Museum in Abilene, Kansas. Thanks to my fellow graduate students or, as Tylor would say, my colleagues. Our lunch hour chats, though brief, offered a welcome and much-needed respite from the solitude of McPherson. I wish you all the very best in the future. Special thanks to my crew and friends at Chetwynd NIFAC. I’m lucky to have had such great times fighting fires and _______ with you ix every summer for the past three years. Every spring I look forward to getting far away from the history books: “Once more unto the fiery breach, dear friends, once more!” I wish to express my sincerest

  • Allen W. Dulles and the CIA
    THE GILDED AGE Allen W. Dulles and the CIA Allen W. Dulles spent his tenure as the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) entrenched in secret power struggles that would ensure his ultimate power over the foreign and domestic aff airs for the United States. Th roughout his childhood, Dulles learned to use political power in order to get ahead, and to use secrecy to make unilateral deci- sions. Aft er analyzing examples of his treatment of various foreign aff airs disasters, as well as his manipulation of American media and politicians, Dulles is exposed as a man whose legacy lives in the CIA, as a legendary fi gure who is in fact much more of a craft ed legend than a man of truth.

Stewart ‘16 Princeton University of the CIA’s own making, the product of the publicity and the political propaganda Allen Dulles manufactured in the 1950s.”4 How, though, did Dulles craft a fl awless, genius im- age for the CIA? What methods did Dulles use to manipulate the press, the public, and even the other branches of govern- ment to bring forth an agency with “a great reputation and a terrible record?”5 Dulles made the CIA seem like an elite agency full of top agents resulting in high risk, high reward missions—how is this reconciled with the reality of the CIA under Dulles’ reign?

    Review of "Legacy of Ashes: The History of CIA" — Central Intelligence Agency https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/... Search CSI Review of "Legacy of Ashes: The History of CIA" Tim Weiner. New York: Doubleday, 2007. 516 pages. Notes and index. Nicholas Dujmovic Legacy of Ashes is not the definitive history of the CIA that it purports to be. Tim Weiner’s Legacy of Ashes is not the definitive history of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that it purports to be. Nor is it the well researched work that many reviewers say it is. It is odd, in fact, that much of the hype surrounding the book concerns its alleged mastery of available sources. Weiner and his favorable reviewers—most, like Weiner, journalists—have cited the plethora of his sources as if the fact of their variety and number by themselves make the narrative impervious to criticism. But the thing about scholarship is that one must use sources honestly, and one doesn’t get a pass on this even if he is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the New York Times. Starting with a title that is based on a gross distortion of events, the book is a 600-page op-ed piece masquerading as serious history; it is the advocacy of a particularly dark point of view under the guise of scholarship. Weiner has allowed his agenda to drive his research and writing, which is, of course, exactly backwards. History, fairly done, is all about context, motivations, and realistic expectations in addition to the accurate portrayal of events.
