Survey of Current Business December 1932 DECEMBER, 1932 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC COMMERCE WASHINGTON VOLUME 12 NUMBER 12 Many new series of statistical data added beginning with this issue — is the first general revision since June, 1932, when the series in the A monthly numbers and the 1932 ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT were brought into exact conformity. More than 80 series have been added while, owing to lack of current statistics, approximately the same number has been dropped. For the series discontinued the November issue brought the record up to the latest month for which data are available. All of the new series added have been indicated with an asterisk (*). Data for earlier months are not in the 1932 ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT but, in some instances, have been published in the monthly issues and will be found on the pages indicated in the footnotes. Back data for the other series will be presented in early issues. In subsequent numbers references to back data not given in the 1932 ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT will be given in the footnotes. A record of the new series added as well as those discontinued appears on page 56, this issue. The large reduction in the printing funds available to the BUREAU for the current year makes it impossible to print an ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS IN 1933. It is important, con- sequently, that these tables giving the back data for the new series be preserved, if you wish later to have a complete statistical record through the year 1932. New subscribers to the SURVEY will be furnished with a copy of the 1932 ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT until the supply is exhausted.

  • University Archives Inventory
    University Archives Inventory Record Group Number: UR001.03 Title: Burney Lynch Parkinson Presidential Records Date: 1926-1969 Bulk Date: 1932-1952 Extent: 42 boxes Creator: Burney Lynch Parkinson Administrative/Biographical Notes: Burney Lynch Parkinson (1887-1972) was an educator from Lincoln, Tennessee. He received his B.S. from Erskine College in 1909, and rose up the administrative ranks from English teacher in Laurens, South Carolina public schools. He received his M.A. from Peabody College in 1920, and Ph.D. from Peabody in 1926, after which he became president of Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC in 1927. He was employed as Director of Teacher Training, Certification, and Elementary Education at the Alabama Dept. of Education just before coming to MSCW to become president in 1932. In December 1932, the university was re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, ending the crisis brought on the purge of faculty under Governor Theodore Bilbo, but appropriations to the university were cut by 54 percent, and faculty and staff were reduced by 33 percent, as enrollment had declined from 1410 in 1929 to 804 in 1932. Parkinson authorized a study of MSCW by Peabody college, ultimately pursuing its recommendations to focus on liberal arts at the cost of its traditional role in industrial, vocational, and technical education. Building projects were kept to a minimum during the Parkinson years. Old Main was restored and named for Mary Calloway in 1938. Franklin Hall was converted to a dorm, and the Whitfield Gymnasium into a student center with the Golden Goose Tearoom inside. Parkinson Hall was constructed in 1951 and named for Dr.

  • The 1932 Presidential Election: the Tough-Minded Common- Man and the Virtuous Savior
    The 1932 Presidential Election: The Tough-Minded Common- Man and the Virtuous Savior Julia Devin In his First Inaugural Address on March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) famously proclaimed that it was his “firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”1 Using an inspirational tone he continued, as he had throughout his campaign, to emphasize that hope in dark economic times required “a leadership of frankness and vigor…met with that understanding and support of the people.”2 As the nation listened to his words, FDR solidified his carefully constructed self-image as a tough-minded common-man trumping Herbert Hoover’s seemingly antiquated virtuous savior image. FDR’s sweeping victory during the 1932 election showed quite clearly that the tough-minded common-man image made more sense than Hoover’s virtuous savior narrative. In the context of the Great Depression and Prohibition, weary Americans looked toward FDR’s proactive depiction of leadership revealing that Hoover’s principles and words were just not enough to confront the nation’s problems. FDR’s victory emphasized an alignment with “common difficulties” of the people and promised a mental 1 Franklin D.

  • 1 Mykola Doroshko the Ruling Stratum in the Ukrainian SSR
    Mykola Doroshko The Ruling Stratum in the Ukrainian SSR during the Holodomor of 1932–33 In recent times a large body of literature has been published about the initiators of the Holodomor, that is, those who engineered the famine-genocide that took place in Ukraine in 1932–33. The general public is familiar with their names. However, there are far fewer scholarly works devoted to the activities of the immediate executors of Stalin’s directives during the greatest national catastrophe in Ukrainian history—the Communist Party and Soviet nomenklatura (party appointees) of the Ukrainian SSR, which constituted the nucleus of the Kremlin’s colonial administration in the republic. Stalin’s intention to punish the Ukrainian peasants for their resistance to the policy of all-out collectivization by means of a terror-famine depended both on the top ranks of the Soviet Ukrainian leadership and on the utterly compliant local apparatus of power in the republic. Was this apparatus capable of starving the Ukrainian peasants into submission? The state grain-procurement campaigns of 1932 and 1933, the main goal of which was to confiscate grain from the Ukrainian peasantry, were directed by Stanislav Kosior, general secretary of the Central Committee, Communist Party (Bolshevik) of Ukraine (CC CP[B]U), Vlas Chubar, head of the Council of People’s Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR, and Hryhorii Petrovsky, head of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (VUTsVK). In possession of information about the actual state of affairs in Ukrainian agriculture, the leaders of Soviet Ukraine took certain steps to convince the Kremlin leadership that the grain-procurement plans issued from above were unrealistic.
