Bradford Committee Members, Ralph Adams Terrence Hoagwood John C. Lenihan Brian Linn Head of Department, Walter Buenger May 2011 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT “The Fourth Dimension of Naval Tactics”: The U.S. Navy and Public Relations, 1919- 1939. (May 2011) Ryan David Wadle, B.A., Iowa State University; M.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. James C. Bradford Prior to 1917, the United States Navy only utilized public relations techniques during times of war or to attract recruits into naval service. Following World I, the Navy confronted several daunting problems, including the postwar demobilization of naval assets, the proposed creation of an independent air service, and a public desire for naval arms limitation which many officers believed would endanger the Navy‟s ability to fulfill its missions. These issues threatened the generous support that the Navy had received from Congress for a quarter of a century, and also hampered the service‟s attempts to incorporate new weapons systems into its arsenal and recruit high-quality manpower. In response to these challenges, the Navy developed a peacetime public relations capability during the interwar period, despite the fact that many senior naval officials placed a low priority on public relations. Their attitude led subordinates in different parts of the Navy Department to perform public relations tasks despite lacking official orders to carry out such work. Such efforts were haphazard, redundant, handicapped by tradition, and dependent largely upon individual initiative. iv To augment its meager capabilities, the Navy relied upon external groups, such as the Navy League, to lobby the public for naval expansion. The service also developed formal and informal ties to the mass media, particularly the rapidly expanding motion picture industry. These disparate elements attempted to convince the public that the Navy was a haven for morally upright masculine behavior, a service able to integrate aircraft and submarines into its force structure and keep their operators safe, and a vital national asset with value beyond basic national defense. During the interwar period, the Navy expanded and reorganized the ways in which it courted public opinion. By forging ties with motion picture studios, radio broadcasters, and the print media, it was able to improve the image of the service, attract high quality recruits, and gained the public support for its drive to gain the resources needed to modernize and expand the fleet. During the same era, naval officials became more adept at minimizing the negative impact of the accidents linked to the development of aviation and submarines. Developments of the era laid the foundation for the institutional development of public relations and enhanced media relations during World War II and in the decades that followed. v To Jenny, who makes all of this worth it. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr. James C. Bradford, for the time, the support, and the patience that he invested in my project. His critical eye and sound advice aided me throughout the process, and the finished result is as much his as mine. Dr. Brian Linn, Dr. John Lenihan, Dr. Terrence Hoagwood, and Dr. Ralph Adams saw this project through from conception to completion and contributed valuable ideas and editorial assistance at several critical junctures. I am in their debt. Completion of this project would not have been possible without the John D. Hayes Pre-Doctoral Fellowship in Naval History I received from the Naval History and Heritage Command. Dr. John Sherwood and Dr. Sarandis Papadopoulos have given me excellent career and research advice, and Dr. Michael Crawford tirelessly worked on my behalf to secure funding. The Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research also supported my research through a stipendiary fellowship and a research matching grant. In particular, I thank Dr. James Rosenheim for the Center‟s generous financial support over the past few years. I would also like to thank the Naval War College Foundation, particularly Dr. John Hattendorf and Edward S. Miller, for awarding me with the Edward S. Miller Research Fellowship to examine the extensive sources at the Naval War College Library in June 2009. vii The projected required extensive research in a number of different archives scattered throughout the country, and the staffs at each facility contributed to the success of my research. I thank the staffs of the Houghton Library at Harvard University, the Warner Brothers Archive at the University of Southern California, the Bancroft Library at the University of California-Berkeley, and the Library of Congress for their research assistance. I want to single out Charles Johnson and Nate Patch at the National Archives, Dr. Evelyn Cherpak at the Naval War College Library, Barbara Hall at the Margaret Herrick Library, Dr. David Chapman at Texas A&M‟s Cushing Library, and Mark Quigley at the UCLA Film and Television Archive for their valuable assistance in locating new and valuable sources that I incorporated into this project. I must mention the support given me by my friends and family during the time it took to complete this dissertation. I thank Larry Burke for his invaluable assistance during the research phase of the project, Emily Hoeflinger and Paul Springer for opening their homes to a weary researcher, and my frequent late night writing companion, Albert the Cat. My graduate school colleagues at Texas A&M, especially Roger Horky, Jessica Herzogenrath, and Jon Beall, provided several valuable insights and critiques of this project. Michael Beauchamp and Sudina Paungpetch allowed me to bend their ears and were always available as dinner hosts and guests. Finally, thanks to my wife, Jenny, for serving, at various times, as an editor, a sounding board, a fair critic, and a source of encouragement. This project could not have been completed without her patience and love. I accept responsibility for any errors found in the text of this dissertation. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. iii DEDICATION .......................................................................................................... v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...................................................................................... vi TABLE OF CONTENTS .......................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................... x CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERWAR NAVY PUBLIC RELATIONS ........................................................................ 1 II FROM THE SIX FRIGATES TO THE NEW NAVALISM: NAVY PUBLIC RELATIONS, 1794-1918 ..................................................... 16 III DISARMAMENT, AVIATION, AND THE BIG NAVY BOYS: THE POLITICAL AND CULTURAL MILIEU OF POSTWAR NAVY PUBLIC RELATIONS, 1919-1922 ......................................... 52 IV A SUSTAINED PUBLICITY: NAVY PUBLIC RELATIONS, 1919- 1939 ...................................................................................................... 90 V FIRST RATE IDEAS: THE NAVY AND LOBBYING AND HISTORICAL ORGANIZATIONS, 1919-1939 ................................. 137 ix CHAPTER Page VI OFFICERS AND MOGULS: THE NAVY AND THE MEDIA, 1919- 1939 ...................................................................................................... 173 VII “THE FINEST QUALITIES OF AMERICAN MANHOOD”: THE IDEAL SAILOR, RECRUITING, AND MASCULINITY, 1919-1939 223 VIII REPLACING THE FAMILIAR WITH THE NEW: PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF NAVAL TRANSFORMATION, 1919-1939 ..... 266 IX “NATIONAL INSURANCE”: PUBLIC DEFINITIONS OF THE NAVY‟S MISSION, 1922-1939 .......................................................... 315 X CONCLUSIONS: EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NAVY PUBLIC RELATIONS ON THE EVE OF WAR ................... 357 REFERENCES .......................................................................................................... 379 VITA ......................................................................................................................... 398 x LIST OF FIGURES FIGURE Page 1 Still Frames from Film Trailer Intended for the Recruitment of African- Americans, 1936 ......................................................................................... 229 2 “Navy Ships Visit Many Lands,” 1921 ...................................................... 234 3 Closing Shot of Our Navy in the Near East, 1923 ..................................... 236 4 “Fellowship of the Sea,” 1924 ...................................................................

    Economist Was a Workhorse for the Confederacy and Her Owners, the Trenholm Firms, John Fraser & Co

    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM Nassau, Bahamas (Illustrated London News Feb. 10, 1864) By Ethel Nepveux During the war, the Economist was a workhorse for the Confederacy and her owners, the Trenholm firms, John Fraser & Co. of Charleston, South Carolina, and Fraser, Trenholm & Co. of Liverpool, England, and British Nassau and Bermuda. The story of the ship comes from bits and pieces of scattered information. She first appears in Savannah, Georgia, where the Confederate network (conspiracy) used her in their efforts to obtain war materials of every kind from England. President Davis sent Captain James Bulloch to England to buy an entire navy. Davis also sent Caleb Huse to purchase armaments and send them back home. Both checked in to the Fraser, Trenholm office in Liverpool which gave them office space and the Trenholm manager Charles Prioleau furnished credit for their contracts and purchases. Neither the men nor their government had money or credit. George Trenholm (last Secretary of the Treasury of the Confederacy) bought and Prioleau loaded a ship, the Bermuda, to test the Federal blockade that had been set up to keep the South from getting supplies from abroad. They sent the ship to Savannah, Georgia, in September 1861. The trip was so successful that the Confederates bought a ship, the Fingal. Huse bought the cargo and Captain Bulloch took her himself to Savannah where he had been born and was familiar with the harbor. The ship carried the largest store of armaments that had ever crossed the ocean. Bulloch left all his monetary affairs in the hands of Fraser, Trenholm & Co.

    ADDRESS BY THE HONORABLE EDWARD H. LEVI ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES AT THE DEDICATION CEREMONIES OF THE JOHN EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING 11:00 A.M. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1975 J. EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING WASHINGTON, D. C. We have come together to dedicate this new building as the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is a proper moment to look back to the tradition of this law enforcement organization as well as to look forward to t.he future it will meet in this new place. It was under Theodore Roosevelt that the predecessor of the FBI was founded. There was resistance to its creation. For varied reasons -- noble and base -- some feared the idea of a federal' criminal investigative agency within the Justice Department. But through'the persistence of Attorney General Charles Joseph Bonaparte the organization was formed. The resistance did not crumble when Bonaparte's idea was accompli-shed. There were bad years to follow for the Bureau. It did not escape the tarnish of the Teapot Dome era. The Justice Department and the Bureau were criticized for failing to attack official corruption with sufficient vigor. From this period the' Bureau emerged with a new beginning under the man to whose memory this new building is dedicated. John Edgar Hoover was 29 years old when Attorney General Harlan Fiske Stone appointed him acting director of the Bureau in May of 1924. Hoover's reputation of scrupulous honesty had been commended to Stone. Such a man was needed. Hoover set about reforming the Bureau to meet the demanding requirements of a more complicated era.

Several other artists, architects, and museum person- nel did the same. In December 1942, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Francis Taylor, heard about the possibility of serving on a team of specialists to protect monuments in war zones. He wrote : “I do not know yet how the Federal Government will decide to organize this, but one thing is crystal clear; that we will be called upon for professional service, either in civilian or military capacity. I personally have ofered my services, and am ready for either.” Do you think it was a good use of U.S. resources to protect art? What kinds of arguments could be advanced for and against the creation of the MFAA? Arguments for the creation of the MFAA: Arguments against the creation of the MFAA: Walter Huchthausen lost his life trying to salvage an altarpiece in the Ruhr Valley, Germany.

    Review by Howard J. Fuller University of Wolverhampton Department of War Studies

    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History August 2009 Volume 8 Number 2 Ari Hoogenboom, Gustavus Vasa Fox of the Union Navy: A Biography. Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008. 408 pp. 9 halftones, 10 line drawings. Review by Howard J. Fuller University of Wolverhampton Department of War Studies ________________________________________________________________________ Over a thousand pages long, the 1896 Naval History of the United States, by Willis J. Abbot, typically does not even mention Fox. “The story of the naval operations of the civil war is a record of wonderful energy and inventive skill in improving and building war vessels,” the story goes, and by the end of the conflict “the navy of the United States consisted of six hundred and seventy-one vessels. No nation of the world had such a naval power. The stern lessons of the great war had taught shipbuilders that wooden ships were a thing of the past. The little ‘Monitor’ had by one afternoon’s battle proved to all the sovereigns of Europe that their massive ships were useless,” (685-7). Of course the perception here is deterministic; it was a matter of American ‘destiny’ that the North would triumph, or even that the Union Navy would become a leading ironclad power—whatever that meant. Heroic naval admirals like Farragut, Porter and Du Pont seemed to operate under orders issued from behind a mysterious curtain back in Washington, D.C. We don’t see those hidden, historic actors who actually designed and launched the fine naval force Union officers wielded throughout the Civil War (often with mixed results).

    Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale

    Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale 2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey J. Michael McMurtrey IPMS-USA 1746 Carrollton, TX [email protected] As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes. This is an updated version of an article I prepared for the 75th Anniversary of US naval aviation and which was published in a 1986 issue of the old IPMS-USA Update. It’s amazing to compare the two and realize what developments have occurred, both in naval aeronautical technology and the scale modeling hobby, but especially the latter. My 1986 list included 168 specific aircraft types available in kit form from thirty- three manufacturers — some injected, some vacuum-formed — and only three conversion kits and no resin kits. Many of these names (Classic Plane, Contrails, Eagle’s Talon, Esci, Ertl, Formaplane, Frog, Griffin, Hawk, Matchbox, Monogram, Rareplane, Veeday, Victor 66) are no longer with us or have been absorbed by others. This update lists 345 aircraft types (including the original 168) from 192 different companies (including the original 33), many of which, especially the producers of resin kits, were not in existence in 1986, and some of which were unknown to me at the time.
