  • Free Churchmen and the Twenty Years' Crisis
    Free Churchmen and the Twenty Years' Crisis T was E. H. Carr who coined the term "Twenty Years' Crisis" to I describe the period between 1919 and 1939. The optimism of the "war to end war" soon faded as Europe was wracked by new tensions and conflicts. If the Great War had witnessed the defeat of the German bid for Europeari hegemony, it had left fresh problems in its wake. The new states of Europe wrestled with the problems of nation­ building. Mter their success in the civil war, the Bolsheviks consoli­ dated their position in the Soviet Union. In Italy, Mussolini came to power and a new ideology "Fascism" had appeared. Despite the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, German aspirations remained uncertain. Britain and France were frequently at loggerheads on the question of reparations from Germany. The United States played little part in European afiairs. British governments and people had to recognize that the absence of war did not mean tranquillity. The Irish Free State was established after a bitter struggle. The 1926 Imperial Conference recognized equality of status between Britain and the Dominions. Political activity in India began to gather pace. Japanese power in East Asia became steadily more apparent. Writing in 1918, J. H. Shakespeare dreaded lest "the Free Churches should maintain automatic movements and cries while with brain and heart, and even conscience, asleep, they march on through the wonderful new world, missing its golden harvests and deaf to .its significant calls". 1 The golden harvests proved elusive, and Free Churchmen did not find the "wond.erful new world" greatly to their taste.

  • This Collection Includes a Medal Bearing the Portrait of the Dashing Edward VIII, As Well As Two Colonial Coins from British West Africa
    This collection includes a medal bearing the portrait of the dashing Edward VIII, as well as two colonial coins from British West Africa. The West Africa coins do not show his portrait because he abdicated too soon for the dies to be used in striking. On 20 January, 1936, Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, of the House of Windsor, succeeded his father, George V, as King of Great Britain and the Dominions of the British Empire. Edward VIII would abdicate in December of the same year, in order to marry the love of his life, the twice-divorced American arriviste Wallis Simpson. His 326-day reign is among the shortest in the long annals of British history. When he was Prince of Wales, Edward became arguably the world’s first modern international celebrity. Exploits of the royal family have always been the subject of great popular interest, but Edward took to the role like none of his predecessors ever had. He was handsome, suave, fashionable, and unlike his stolid and old-fashioned father, he seemed to emulate the ebullient spirit of the post-war Jazz Age. In short, he had it all. That he would surrender so precious a prize as the British throne to marry a commoner—an American commoner, at that, and one with a somewhat notorious past—was widely viewed as the ultimate romantic gesture: a declaration of love ne plus ultra. In fact, there is more to this tale than meets the eye. Abdication was not a great sacrifice for Edward VIII. As much as he loathed “princing,” as he called it, when he’d been Prince of Wales, he hated being king even more.

  • Mediacide: the Press's Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII
    ___________________________________________________________ Mediacide: the Press’s Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII Joel Grissom ___________________________________________________________ On December 10, 1936, a group of men entered the ornate drawing room of Fort Belvedere, the private get-away of His Majesty, King Edward VIII. The mood of the room was informal as the King sat at his desk. Fifteen documents lay before him ready for his signature. Briefly scanning them, he quickly affixed, Edward, RI, to the documents. He then relinquished his chair to his brother, Albert, Duke of York, who did the same. The process was repeated twice more as Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and George, Duke of Kent, also signed the documents. The King stepped outside and inhaled the fresh morning air.1 To the King it smelled of freedom. After months of battling with his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and the Prime Minister’s allies in the establishment and the press, Edward was laying down the crown in order to marry the woman he loved, an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson. The next day the newspaper headlines across the world would broadcast the news of the King’s unprecedented decision. With the signing of the Instrument of Abdication, Edward had signed away his throne. The newspapers in both the United States and the United Kingdom that would report the abdication had played a major role in bringing about the fall of the King. While the British media had observed a blackout during most of the crisis, the media in the United States had reported the story of the King and Mrs.

The study investigates the contrasting needs, in establishment terms, of an old "Secretary of State" department the Home Office, performing a largely regulatory role, with a new department the Ministry of Labour performing an administrative role, and the relationship of both over establishment matters with the Treasury. The study assesses the roles of individual Administrative Class civil servants in the three departments from the rank of Principal to Permanent Secretary: with particular reference to the relationships existing between the Permanent Secretaries of the two departments and the Permanent Secretaries of the Treasury and their Controllers of Establishments.

  • Queen Elizabeth II the Queen’S Early Life the Queen Was Born at 2.40Am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London
    Queen Elizabeth II The Queen’s early life The Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London. She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. At the time she stood third in line of succession to the throne after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and her father, The Duke of York. But it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen. The Duke and Duchess of York with Princess Elizabeth The Queen’s early life The Princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. She was named after her mother, while her two middle names are those of her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, and paternal grandmother, Queen Mary. The Princess's early years were spent at 145 Piccadilly, the London house taken by her parents shortly after her birth, and at White Lodge in Richmond Park. She also spent time at the country homes of her paternal grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother's parents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close. The Queen’s early life When she was six years old, her parents took over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park as their own country home. Princess Elizabeth's quiet family life came to an end in 1936, when her grandfather, King George V, died.

  • The Depression Affected Lehi Business by Richard Van Wagoner
    The Depression affected Lehi Business By Richard Van Wagoner The 1920’s brought good fortune to most Lehi citizens as well as to Americans across the country. People called it the “Coolidge prosperity” in honor of U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. But the halcyon decade ended in fear and anxiety. The worst economic downturn in world history, known as the Great Depression began in October 1929, when stock values plunged into dramatically. Thousands of investors lost vast sums of money. Banks, factories, and stores closed, leaving millions of Americans penniless and jobless.. Until 1942, and the upsurge of war industries, the country and most of the world remained in the worst and longest period of high unemployment and low business productivity in modern times. Republican President Herbert Hoover believing in limiting the power of federal government enacted few measure to deal with the floundering economy. Near the end of his administration, Congress approved Hoover’s most successful anti­depression measure: the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC). Most Americans, however felt that Hoover was not doing enough to bolster the economy and elected Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. Roosevelt convinced that it was the government’s obligation to end the Depression called Congress into a special session to erect laws to reach this goal. The programs which evolved from these efforts were called the New Deal. Laws established under New Deal legislation had three main purposes: to provide relief for the needy, to create jobs and encourage business expansion, and to reform business and government practices to prevent further depressions. The Depression affected Lehi citizens in a multitude of ways.
