The extent of unemployment, the possibility of seasonal and stop-gap employment, the availability of savings and other family resources, the amount of private relief, the policies and resources of public relief agencies, including those not specifically charged with unemployment relief, and many other factors influence the number of persons accepted as eligible for relief at any one time. These conditions vary among cities, among coun­ ties, and among States. Consequently different localities show vary­ ing proportions of their population on relief. In order to secure a cross-section picture of the relief situation and to provide an accurate description of the relief population by age, sex, race, family size and composition for cities, counties, and States, an unemployment relief census was taken in October 1933 by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and the several State and local relief administrations. The collection of this simple but comprehensive information was undertaken as the first of a series of surveys designed to provide a basis of essential data for relief administration, program planning, and legislation. The principal results of the Unemployment Relief Cen­ sus were released two months after the census began and were published as Report No. One in May 1934. The first report presented the number of families by size and race, and the. number of persons by age, sex, and race, for geographic divisions, for States, and for cities having a population of 100,000 or more persons in 1930. This, the second report, presents similar data for the rural and urban areas within geographic divisions and States. It also includes somewhat less detailed information for cities of 25,000 or more inhabitants and for all counties. The data for rural and urban areas and for the smaller cities are shown in a form as far as possible comparable with the analysis in Report No.

My results show that although volatility was pronounced, it was not higher than during October 1931- July 1933. I analyze Keynes writings on the international monetary system in an effort to understand what he meant in his letter.

  • The Dutch NSB and Nazi Germany, 1933–1940
    Articles 29/3 7/6/99 12:58 pm Page 349 Dietrich Orlow A Difficult Relationship of Unequal Relatives: The Dutch NSB and Nazi Germany, 1933–1940 Until its recent reappearance in the guise of neo-fascism, European fascism had appeared to many as a transitory political phenomenon that was limited to a brief, albeit fateful, appear- ance on the modern historical scene. This conclusion contrasted strikingly with the attitude of fascism’s contemporaries in the 1920s and 1930s. For them — whether militants, sympathizers, or opponents — fascism was a serious challenge to liberal demo- cracy and Marxist socialism. The fascists themselves, of course, fully endorsed the idea that they represented an international, revolutionary vanguard, which would save European civilization from the forces of decadent bourgeois liberalism and the hordes of Marxist Bolshevism.1 As self-styled components of an international and revolution- ary phenomenon, individual fascist movements deliberately attempted to use the experiences of their ‘sister’ parties to advance their own cause. This was particularly true if the neighbouring movement had already succeeded in establishing a national fascist regime. The following analysis of the relations between the Dutch Nationaal Socialistische Beweging (NSB) and the German Nazis in the 1930s is a case study that demonstrates vividly the illusionary promises and inherent contradictions of fascist internationalism. From its beginnings the NSB looked upon itself as an integral part of the coming fascist revolution in Europe. Although like all fascist movements, the NSB was fiercely nationalistic, the party presented no original ideology of its own; all of its programme was adapted, or better copied, from the Italian fascists and the German Nazis.

Helen Street McClelland Hall 401 Tucson, AZ 85721 520.621.3790 [email protected] Keywords: Recovery, Depression, Inflation, Devaluation, Expectations Abstract Recovery from the Great Depression began in March 1933, simultaneous to Franklin Roosevelt’s inauguration. However, the pace of that recovery between that date and the Second World War was extremely uneven with some dramatic starts and stops. Between March and July 1933, manufacturing production rose 78 percent, production of durable goods was up 199 percent, total industrial production rose 57 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 71 percent. Then the economy contracted sharply again beginning in August 1933—the July 1933 level of industrial production was not reached again until August 1935. This paper addresses two questions. What factors were responsible for bringing about the sharp recovery in the spring of 1933 and what factors brought this short-lived economic surge to an end?
