  • Truman's First Nomination for Senator
    TRUMAN’S FIRST NOMINATION FOR SENATOR WAS STOLEN By EWING YOUNG MITCHELL Former Assistant Secretary of Commerce (In New Deal Little Cabinet, 1933-1935) The first nomination for United States Senator of Harry S. Truman was stolen. This has never been denied. It cannot be successfully denied as the election figures given below clearly prove. Truman was first nominated for United States Senator in the Missouri primary in August, 1934. At that time Jackson County, Missouri, including Kansas City, was in the clutches of the Pendergast democratic machine, the most corrupt, the most brazen, gang of thieves who ever looted an American city. Its power was derived from complete control of the elections held in Kansas City and Jackson County. The machine’s control extended not only to all offices in the city and county, and the millions of dollars spent by them annually, but into the economic life of the community as well. It had several corporations through which it transacted a tremendous amount of business, including The Ready Mixed Concrete Company, Midwest Paving Company, Midwest Pre- cote Company, Midwest Asphalt & Material Company, a fire insurance company, a wholesale liquor company, an oil company and a soft drink company, to mention only some of them. The Machine Forced Its Wares On The People No citizen was allowed to use anything built of concrete not bought of the Ready Mixed Concrete Company. A house built of other concrete was closed by city inspectors and its use refused to its owner. The owner of a lot desiring to build an oil station could not get a building permit from the city council until his tenant had signed an agreement with the Pendergast oil company to buy all his oil and gas from it as long as he was in business.

  • AMERICAN NEUTRALITY DEBATE: 1940 a Re-Creation of the Conflict Preceding World War II, Debating Whether Or Not the United States Should End Its Neutrality
    THE AMERICAN NEUTRALITY DEBATE: 1940 A re-creation of the conflict preceding World War II, debating whether or not the United States should end its neutrality THOMAS R. BROCK, now deceased, wrote THE AMERICAN NEUTRALITY DEBATE: 1940. Tom graduated from Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and earned his M.A. in Contemporary American Studies from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. For Interact Tom also wrote three other debate re-creations as well as individual learning projects—TELEVISION and AUTOMOBILE. He taught social studies at Baraboo High School, Baraboo, Wisconsin, where he coached varsity football and track and field. Copyright ©1992, 1980 Interact 10200 Jefferson Boulevard P.O.

PurpOse When high school students assess American involvement in World War II, two of their more often repeated remarks are “It was a popular war” and “Americans were more patriotic then than they are today.” Comparing World War II to more recent conflicts in Korea and Vietnam—military operations whose wisdom a number of Americans questioned and even condemned—makes it easy to understand why such notions concerning World War II evolved. However, a thorough study of America from 1937–1940 reveals a real struggle taking place between those Americans who desired to avoid Europe’s wars at all costs and others who wanted to intervene.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Threading on Thin Ice: Resistance and Conciliation in the Jade Marshal’S Nationalism, 1919-1939
    THREADING ON THIN ICE: RESISTANCE AND CONCILIATION IN THE JADE MARSHAL’S NATIONALISM, 1919-1939 Mengchuan Lin A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History (Modern China). Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Michael Tsin Miles Fletcher Klaus Larres ©2013 Mengchuan Lin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Mengchuan Lin: Threading On Thin Ice: Resistance and Conciliation in the Jade Marshal’s Nationalism, 1919-1939 (Under the direction of Michael Tsin) The 1920s marked a decade in the history of modern China which is typically referred to as the period of warlords. This period was characterised by political chaos, internal division and internecine warfare between various cliques of military strongmen who controlled China’s numerous provinces. These de facto military dictators of China, known as warlords in historical literature, were customarily construed to be avaricious and self-serving despots who ruled their large territories with little regard for the welfare of their subjects or that of the Chinese nation. My thesis aims to revise these previously held assumptions concerning the historical agency of Chinese warlords by investigating the unusual conduct of a particularly influential warlord: Wu Peifu. Wu’s display of deeply seated nationalistic tendencies throughout his political career, I argue, complicates our understanding of the impact that Chinese warlords exerted on the rise of Chinese national

  • Yasukuni Controversy for Japan: Abe’S Visit a Reply to the Chinese Adiz?
    www.capsindia.org IN FOCUS 30 DEC 2013 YASUKUNI CONTROVERSY FOR JAPAN: ABE’S VISIT A REPLY TO THE CHINESE ADIZ? Prerna Gandhi Research Associate, CAPS Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on 26 December 2013, first anniversary of his taking office has infuriated China and South Korea once again. The visit comes on the heels of already strong tensions between China and Japan on the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in East China Sea declared by China on 23 November this year. Adding further unease for the neighbors is Abe’s agenda of revising the Article 8 in the Japanese Constitution. Abe, who had visited previously when he was not prime minister, had expressed extreme regret over his decision not to visit Yasukuni during an earlier one- year term in office in 2006-2007. "I prayed to pay respect for the war dead who sacrificed their precious lives and hoped that they rest in peace," he told waiting reporters immediately afterward his visit. He also said that "unfortunately, a Yasukuni visit has largely turned into a political and diplomatic issue," and further added "I have no intention to neglect the feelings of the people in China and South Korea.i" However China did not delay in denouncing the visit saying it is "absolutely unacceptable to the Chinese people". Japan "must bear the consequences arising from this", said Chinese foreign ministry official Luo Zhaohuiii. Previous visit by a large group of Japanese officials comprising of more than 150 members of the Diet during the Annual Autumn Festival (or Shuki Reitaisai) celebrated from 17-20 October at the Yasukuni Shrine had created an international controversy for Japan.
