    1/3/2017 Center for the Study of the Pacific Northwest About Us Events Classroom Materials Pacific Northwest Resources Quarterly The Boeing Company and the Military­Metropolitan­Industrial Complex, 1945­1953 Richard S. Kirkendall Pacific Northwest Quarterly 85:4 (Oct. 1994), p. 137­149 This Boeing bomber embodies the transition to jet aircraft and the dependence on military that characterized company operations during the years following World War II. (Special Collections, University of Washington Libraries, Negative #10703. Photo by Boeing Company) The years of Harry Truman's presidency were crucial to the success of the Boeing Airplane Company. The president himself did not have close ties with the firm or great confidence in air power, but one part of the American state­­ the air force­­recognized Boeing's ability to serve air force interests and was in a stronger position than ever before to pursue those interests. Furthermore, the company now had another ally willing to enter the political arena on its behalf. This was Seattle. The people there had a new commitment to Boeing. Taking advantage of cold war fears, air force leaders lobbied for funds to be spent on bombers, and Seattle people worked to draw that money to their city by way of Boeing. As a consequence of the successes of these two groups in the Truman years, the company acquired the resources it needed to become the world leader in building commercial jets. In battling for Boeing, Seattle participated in what President Dwight D. Eisenhower later called the "military­ industrial complex." A historian, Roger Lotchin, recently proposed "metropolitan­military complex" as a substitute for Eisenhower's term.

    L. G. BALFOUR CO. ET AL. 425 345 Findings of Fact 232. Neither Myers nor any other "IRAC trustee" had anything to do with the preparation of the "new brochure " on registered trademarks. Myers had not even seen a copy of it during the three days he was with Balfour in Nassau. In fact, Myers did not even want to see it as long as it met with Mr. Balfour approval." Myers also suggested that copies be sent to each of the IRAC trustees so that they would know that "such pamphlet was available" (CX 517 A). 233. O' Leary (who had no offcial position in IRAC) indicated that it was "her thought" that "we might mail (the new brochureJ to all of the fraternities and sororities together with an additional bulletin listing the names of the fraternities and sororities who are properly registered as recorded in this offce (AttleboroJ" (CX 516A). IRAC apparently attached to this bulletin information that Mr. Doane, a Washington lawyer, would handle regis- tration of trademarks for fraternities for 3125 (CX 527, 528 , 529). 234, A Commission investigator picked up a bulletin on trade- marks in the offces of Delta Delta Delta in Evanston , Illinois, This bulletin, dated :varch 11 , 1955 , is apparently part of the trademark bulletin prepared by Balfour but circulated under the name of IRAC (CX 768). The bulletin states that "IRAC strongly recommends " that fraternities give trademark registration care- ful consideration (CX 768C). This bulletin, prepared by Balfour but distributed by and through IRAC, states to the fraternities that IRAC is concerned not over "the few sales" by competitors but because such sales represent a "definite threat" to the fra- ternity names and insignia.

  • Isolationism
    Isolationism Oxford Research Encyclopedia of American History Isolationism Justus D. Doenecke Subject: 20th Century: Post-1945, Foreign Relations and Foreign Policy Online Publication Date: Aug 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780199329175.013.49 Summary and Keywords For the United States, isolationism is best defined as avoidance of wars outside the Western Hemisphere, particularly in Europe; opposition to binding military alliances; and the unilateral freedom to act politically and commercially unrestrained by mandatory commitments to other nations. Until the controversy over American entry into the League of Nations, isolationism was never subject to debate. The United States could expand its territory, protect its commerce, and even fight foreign powers without violating its traditional tenets. Once President Woodrow Wilson sought membership in the League, however, Americans saw isolationism as a foreign policy option, not simply something taken for granted. A fundamental foreign policy tenet now became a faction, limited to a group of people branded as “isolationists.” Its high point came during the years 1934– 1937, when Congress, noting the challenge of the totalitarian nations to the international status quo, passed the neutrality acts to insulate the country from global entanglements. Once World War II broke out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt increasingly sought American participation on the side of the Allies. Isolationists unsuccessfully fought FDR’s legislative proposals, beginning with repeal of the arms embargo and ending with the convoying of supplies to Britain. The America First Committee (1940–1941), however, so effectively mobilized anti-interventionist opinion as to make the president more cautious in his diplomacy.

  • “Foreign in a Domestic Sense” Hispanic Americans in Congress During the Age of U.S
    “Foreign in a Domestic Sense” hispanic americans in congress during the age of u.s. colonialism and global expansion, 1898–1945 On October 15, 1900, La correspondencia, a San Juan daily newspaper, described the qualities of a Resident Commissioner, a position recently created by the Foraker Act (31 Stat. 77–86) to provide Puerto Rico with representation in the U.S. House. The writer stated that such a “representative must be worthy of the trust of those he represents. He must earn that trust through his history, which is a record of the things he has accomplished for the good of the homeland, a justification of his intellectual qualities, a demonstration of his character, and evidence of his love of freedom.”1 Yet, the first Resident Commissioner, Federico Degetau, was not even allowed to set foot on the House Floor when the 57th Congress (1901–1903) assembled in December 1901. Many in Congress questioned the very existence of the position of Resident Commissioner and the ability of Puerto Ricans to participate in a democratic society. Many Members of Congress were confused by the island’s ambiguous position within the United States, classified as neither a state nor a territory. “Now, Mr. Chairman, Puerto Rico is either in the United States or out of it,” Representative Amos Cummings of New York declared during debate on the Foraker Act. “If the island is out of the United States, we have no business legislating for her here in any way whatever, and if she is in the United States, she is in the same condition as Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and the other Territories.” He concluded by suggesting facetiously that the Foraker Act “ought to be amended so as to be entitled, ‘An act to make a temporary purgatory for the island of Puerto Rico.’”2 The colonial conquests of the late 19th century, particularly in Puerto Rico and the Philippines, marked the first time the U.S.
