  • Consumerism in the 1920S: Collected Commentary
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION ONTEMPORAR Y HE WENTIES IN OMMENTARY T T C * Leonard Dove, The New Yorker, October 26, 1929 — CONSUMERISM — Mass-produced consumer goods like automobiles and ready-to-wear clothes were not new to the 1920s, nor were advertising or mail- order catalogues. But something was new about Americans’ relationship with manufactured products, and it was accelerating faster than it could be defined. Not only did the latest goods become necessities, consumption itself became a necessity, it seemed to observers. Was that good for America? Yes, said some—people can live in unprecedented comfort and material security. Not so fast, said others—can we predict where consumerism is taking us before we’re inextricably there? Something new has come to confront American democracy. Samuel Strauss The Fathers of the Nation did not foresee it. History had opened “Things Are in the Saddle” to their foresight most of the obstacles which might be expected The Atlantic Monthly to get in the way of the Republic—political corruption, extreme November 1924 wealth, foreign domination, faction, class rule; . That which has stolen across the path of American democracy and is already altering Americanism was not in their calculations. History gave them no hint of it. What is happening today is without precedent, at least so far as historical research has discovered. No reformer, no utopian, no physiocrat, no poet, no writer of fantastic romances saw in his dreams the particular development which is with us here and now. This is our proudest boast: “The American citizen has more comforts and conveniences than kings had two hundred years ago.” It is a fact, and this fact is the outward evidence of the new force which has crossed the path of American democracy.

  • The Ftc from 1925 to 1929
    THE WILLIAM HUMPHREY AND ABRAM MYERS YEARS: THE FTC FROM 1925 TO 1929 MARC WINERMAN WILLIAM E. KOVACIC* The Federal Trade Commission is one of the oldest U.S. experiments with a multi-member federal regulatory body. To formulate coherent programs and establish a respectable institutional brand, such bodies benefit from a basic level of consensus and internal harmony. Though uniformity of perspective within the board is neither attainable nor healthy, a core commonality of pur- pose and fidelity to collegiality are highly desirable. Attaining such common cause depends heavily on the backgrounds, philosophies, and personal sensi- bilities of the board’s members. During President Calvin Coolidge’s second term (and first full term), the FTC Commissioners shared neither the requisite commonality nor collegial- ity, as William Humphrey served as a protagonist in two successive splits among the Commissioners. The first, triggered by his arrival, was a partisan confrontation. The Republicans had controlled the White House and Congress since 1921, but first controlled a majority of Commission seats in June 1924 and first began to change the agency’s direction aggressively when Humphrey arrived in February 1925. Though Humphrey was not a Presidentially desig- nated Chairman (he arrived a quarter century before the President could desig- nate the Chairman1), he was a boisterous man and a clamorous public official. He dominated the agency for a time by the force of his personality, and he continues to dominate discussions about FTC history between his arrival in * Marc Winerman is an attorney in the Office of International Affairs at the FTC and for- merly an attorney advisor to Commissioner Kovacic.

    The Soviet Union and the British General Strike of 1926 Alastair Kocho-Williams University of the West of England, Bristol [email protected] This paper addresses the Soviet analysis and response to the British General Strike of 1926 in the light of newly available documents. The recently discovered and published stenograms of Politburo meetings provide new information concerning Soviet politics and the political process. Previously, scholars have had only Soviet official documents and protocols of Politburo meetings, which only detail participants with a brief summary of decisions (vypuski) along with who received these summaries.1 From the protocols, and other sources, scholars were aware that verbatim stenograms existed, some of which were published and distributed to Central Committee members and other party leaders with instructions for them to be returned after they had been read.2 Amongst the ‘lost Politburo stenograms’ is the record of a lengthy, heated, discussion of the ‘lessons of the British General Strike’ on 3 June 1926.3 It is this that the current paper is chiefly concerned with, detailing the Soviet stance towards the General Strike, inconsistency in the Soviet analysis, the extent to which Soviet internal politics was linked to foreign policy, how as senior figures disagreed factions developed around divisions in policy, and the way in which the handling of the international situation formed a strand of the opposition to Stalin and the Politburo majority in 1926.4 The British General Strike ran from 4-12 May 1926. Although it drew British industry to a halt, and hadn’t been planned much in advance, there had been ample warning of a coming labour dispute, of which the British and Soviet Governments were well aware, although the Soviets had concluded that major action was unlikely I am grateful to Paul Gregory and Alexander Vatlin for their assistance in the writing of this paper.
