ISBN 87 635 0012 4 Copyright © Museum Tusculanum Press Acknowledgements Researching and writing this book was most of the time a lonely pursuit. Yet, the task was lightened by the kindness and support shown by numerous individuals and institutions. It is indeed a pleasure to remember and acknowledge the many who made this reconstruction of the evolution of the FBI’s political role a possibility and a distinct pleasure. I received generous financial assistance from several institutions. A graduate scholarship at the Department of History, University of Copenhagen, in 1992 to 1995 enabled me to complete my Ph.D. dissertation, on which this book is based. A grant from the Fulbright Society financed a position as Visiting Researcher at Georgetown University in 1992 to 1993, which enabled me to conduct research into the FBI records at the National Archives in Washington, DC. Assistance from the Knud Højgaard Fond made it possible to visit a number of other archives and universities throughout the United States. Thepublication of this book is financed by a grant from the Danish Research Council for the Humanities. Visiting the United States, one is always struck by the helpfulness and aid given by the enthusiastic and efficient archivists and librarians everywhere. In particular, I would like to thank the following for as- sisting me during my visits to archives and libraries: John K. Van- dereedt of the Civil Reference Branch, National Archives, Washington, DC; James H. Hutson of the Manuscript Division, Library of Congress, Washington, DC; the staff of the Research Unit, Office of Public Affairs, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, DC; Phillip M. Runkel of the Marquette University Archives, Milwaukee, Wisconsin;Dwight Miller of the Herbert Hoover Library, West Branch, Iowa; Raymond Teichman of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library, Hyde Park, New York; and Gregory A. Johnson of the Alderman Library, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia.

  • When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919
    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

  • The Triumph and Anguish of the Russian Revolution: Bessie Beatty's
    The Triumph and Anguish of the Russian Revolution: Bessie Beatty’s Forgotten Chronicle Lyubov Ginzburg … only time will be able to attribute both the political and the social revolution their true values. Bessie Beatty, the Bulletin, 25 September 1917 The centennial of the Russian Revolution celebrated two and a half years ago has been marked by a pronounced revival of interest in its origins and impact upon modern history all over the globe. The occasion presented an opportunity to revisit the unprecedented social and political upheaval that convulsed the country in 1917, defined the world order for much of the twentieth century, and continues to reverberate in Russian national and international politics to this day. Along with countless newly revealed primary sources which have gradually found their way into the public domain, this event has been encrusted with novel meanings spawned within a growing number of discourses previously excluded from his- torical scrutiny. An example of such a disparity would be an unfortunate slight to gendered narratives in the understanding and interpretation of one of the most controversial social experiments in human history. In spite of the fact that, as with their male counterparts, foreign female correspondents became chroniclers, witnesses, and, in some instances, participants in the thrilling social drama, there have been few references to their representation of the Revolution(s) in its histori- ography.1 Meanwhile, compelled to understanding Russia, while informing com- 1 Although disproportionally less than their men-authored counterparts, women’s narratives have previously sparked some occasional interest among historians and scholars of journalism and women studies.

  • Legislative Investigations Into Propaganda Activities (1919–1941): the Tacit Collusion Between U.S. Politicians and the Press1
    ARTÍCULOS Historia y comunicación social ISSN: 1137-0734 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/hics.65273 Legislative Investigations into Propaganda Activities (1919–1941): The Tacit Collusion Between U.S. Politicians and the Press1 Dario Migliucci2 Recibido el: 2 de agosto de 2019 / Aceptado: 29 de junio de 2020 Abstract. The present work analyzes the complex relationship that was established during the interwar period between the American press and the legislative committees which investigated the propaganda activities of subversive movements and large private corporations during those years. The investigation is the result of the examination of journalistic sources and documentary evidence recently collected from various US federal and state archives. The main hypothesis is that the struggle against propaganda by both the press and the legislative committees became a new form of manipulation of public opinion, enabling politicians and reporters to exploit people’s aversion to the new persuasion techniques in order to satisfy their own personal interests and ideological purposes. Keywords: Journalism; American Press; Legislative Investigations; Propaganda; United States. [es] Investigaciones legislativas sobre propaganda (1919–1941): la colusión tácita entre los políticos estadounidenses y la prensa Resumen. El presente trabajo analiza la compleja relación que se estableció durante el periodo de entreguerras entre la prensa estadounidense y los comités legislativos que estaban investigando las actividades de propaganda. La investigación es el resultado del examen de fuentes periodísticas y evidencias documentales que han sido recientemente recopiladas en varios archivos federales y estatales de los Estados Unidos. La hipótesis principal es que la lucha contra la propaganda por parte de la prensa y de los comités legislativos se convirtió en una nueva forma de manipulación de la opinión pública, permitiendo a políticos y periodistas de explotar la aversión popular hacia las nuevas técnicas de persuasión con el fin de satisfacer sus intereses personales e ideológicos.

  • The Red Scare in the 1920S: Political Cartoons
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION * THE T WENTIES IN POLITICAL CARTOONS THE Eight political cartoons on the Red Scare are presented in this collection. Published in main- stream newspapers, they reflect the postwar RED SCARE anxiety fueled by anarchist bombings, nationwide labor strikes, radical activists, Communists in unions and liberal groups, and the murderous Bolshevik takeover of Russia in 1917. Americans wondered: Was a Communist-inspired revolu- tion imminent in America? Could it happen here? To analyze a political cartoon, consider its: CONTENT. First, basically describe what is drawn in the cartoon (without referring to the labels). What is depicted? What is happening? CONTEXT. Consider the timing. What is happening in national and world events at the time of the cartoon? Check the date: what occurred in the days and weeks before the cartoon appeared? LABELS. Read each label; look for labels that are not apparent at first, and for other written content in the cartoon. “The Cloud” The Atlanta Constitution, January 19, 1919 SYMBOLS. Name the symbols in the cartoons. What do they mean? How do they convey the cartoon’s meaning? TITLE. Study the title. Is it a statement, question, exclamation? Does it employ a well-known phrase, e.g., slang, song lyric, movie title, radio show, political or product slogan? How does it encapsulate and enhance the cartoonist’s point? TONE. Identify the tone of the cartoon. Is it satirical, comic, tragic, ironic, condemning, quizzical, imploring? What adjective describes the feeling of the cartoon? How do the visual elements in the drawing align with its tone? POINT.

    A MANUAL OF NORTH CAROLINA I SSU t -> BY THE NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION FOR THE USE OF Members of the General Assembly SESSION 1915 COMPILED AND EDITED BY R. D. W. CON NOR SECRETARY NORTH CAROLINa'hISTORICAL COM M ISSION RALEIGH EDWARDS^. BROUCHTON PRINTING COMPANY STATE PRI NTE RS 1915 1915 PREFACE. This volume is issued by the North Carolina Historical Commission in order to furnish to the members of the General Assembly of 1915, in convenient form, information about the State which otherwise would require much investigation in many different sources. It is also hoped that it may prove of value and service to others who desire to have in succinct form such data about North Carolina. Similar Manuals, issued in 1903, 1905, and 1907 by the Secretary of State, and in 1909, 1911, and 1913 by the North Carolina Historical Commission, have proven of very general utility and interest. Re- quests for copies have come not only from all over North Carolina, but from most of the States of the Union, and the demand for them has been so great that all of these editions except those for 1909 and 1913 have long been exhausted, and it is now extremely difficult to secure a copy. The Historical Commission trusts that the members of the General Assembly of 1915 will find this volume of service to them in their work. NORTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL COMMISSION. J.
