    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • "The New Deal of War"
    "The New Deal of War" By Torbjlarn SirevAg University of Oslo Half a year beforeJapanese pilots bombed the United States into World War 11, in a June 1941 edition of Coronet magazine, a little known author added his voice to that of other critics of the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt. There were basically only two New Deals, John Pritchard here retorted to those who were debating the many twists and turns of the administration's policies. As he saw it, there had been a visionary and planning-oriented first stage-a "New Deal I" -from 1933 to the Nazi push into Holland in May 1940. Roughly at that time, however, the first stage had given way to a far more hardnosed phase which he labeled "New Deal I1- the New Deal of War." If Pritchard's phrase was new, the notion behind it was not. But his was and remains the most poignant expression of an attitude that for all its impact has never been fully understood. How can it be that even if a clear majority of the American people favored all steps short of war in the months immediately before Pearl Harbor the President hesitated to take the lead ?And how can it be explaineed that Washington remained in a state of political turmoil during most of the military emergency when other nations at this crucial moment set aside politics in a show of real national unity? In both situations, the corrosive influence of the "New Deal of War" idea remains crucial. In retrospect, this idea served the function as a bridge uniting the peacetime and wartime opposition against Roosevelt.

  • The Fusion of Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian Thought in the Republican Party of the 1920S
    © Copyright by Dan Ballentyne 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This work is dedicated to my grandfather, Raymond E. Hough, who support and nurturing from an early age made this work possible. Also to my wife, Patricia, whose love and support got me to the finish line. ii REPUBLICANISM RECAST: THE FUSION OF HAMILTONIAN AND JEFFERSONIAN THOUGHT IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE 1920S BY Dan Ballentyne The current paradigm of dividing American political history into early and modern periods and organized based on "liberal" and "conservative" parties does not adequately explain the complexity of American politics and American political ideology. This structure has resulted of creating an artificial separation between the two periods and the reading backward of modern definitions of liberal and conservative back on the past. Doing so often results in obscuring means and ends as well as the true nature of political ideology in American history. Instead of two primary ideologies in American history, there are three: Hamiltonianism, Jeffersonianism, and Progressivism. The first two originated in the debates of the Early Republic and were the primary political division of the nineteenth century. Progressivism arose to deal with the new social problems resulting from industrialization and challenged the political and social order established resulting from the Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian debate. By 1920, Progressivism had become a major force in American politics, most recently in the Democratic administration of Woodrow Wilson. In the light of this new political movement, that sought to use state power not to promote business, but to regulate it and provide social relief, conservative Hamiltonian Republicans increasingly began using Jeffersonian ideas and rhetoric in opposition to Progressive policy initiatives.

  • (Of 1918) and Zionism "The Zionist Movement Is Idealistic", the Ideals…
    The American War Congress (of 1918) and Zionism "The Zionist movement is idealistic", the ideals… forgotten? By Jerry Klinger The Balfour Declaration is one of the most momentous documents of the 20th century. The Zionist organization of America asked American Senators and Congressmen to respond, what were their feelings about the Balfour Declaration. During 1918, 61 Senators, 239 Congressmen and Representatives from three U.S. Territories wrote back reflecting on American popular feelings toward the Balfour Declaration, Jews and Zionism. We sit very still in a moving car and look at the world about us. Inside the car time is frozen. Outside the car, to the left and right, we see the world of the present blurring by. Looking in the rear view mirror, fleetingly, quickly, not wanting to take our eyes off of the road for too long, where we came from rapidly fades away to a distant forgetful memory. Looking ahead we strain, anxiously to see what we can of the future that not been arrived at yet. So it is with the Jewish memory of the Zionist story. So it goes. We act like we do not have to know from where we came from and who and how we got here now. Without knowing how can we be sure where we are going? Should Israel no longer be a Jewish State? Should we divide Jerusalem? Should we give up on the dream? Will it be better for Jews somewhere else, perhaps another country? Theodor Herzl – the Jewish State "Palestine is our unforgettable historic homeland. Let me repeat once more my opening words: The Jews who will it shall achieve their State.

  • Fiorello H. La Guardia, a Model Mayor? 2017
    Fiorello H. La Guardia, A Model Mayor? 2017 From 1934 to 1945, Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia transformed New York through determined leadership and tireless resolve, forging a relationship with the federal government that rejuvenated the city during the Great Depression. For his ability to marshal political and financial resources to realize bold ideas, he is widely considered to be New York’s best mayor. He supported projects that helped modernize the city’s infrastructure and landscape, including bridges, tunnels, reservoirs, parks, sewers, highways, airports, and housing. Never before or since did American cities have such a dedicated, dramatic, dynamic champion. Born of mixed Jewish and Catholic parentage, but raised as an Episcopalian, La Guardia has been called “the most remarkable hybrid in the history of New York City.” His lifelong reform agenda evolved from his experiences growing up on an Arizona army base where his immigrant father was a bandleader. His black Stetson hat evidenced La Guardia’s affinity for the West. But the West taught him sober lessons about the government’s neglect of Native Americans and the exploitation of workers by railroad companies. Newspaper accounts of corrupt New York City politics instilled in him a deep hatred of Tammany that, he admitted, became “almost an obsession.” La Guardia’s contempt for corruption in any form was confirmed when his father died after eating bad meat sold to the Army by dishonest merchants during the War of 1898. La Guardia’s early career shaped his views on public policy. In 1900, at age 18, he began working for the American Consulate in Hungary where he learned six languages and improved the medical inspection system for immigrants.

    HONORING DIVERSITY: A SELECTION OF COMMEMORATIVE U.S. POSTAGE STAMPS Prepared by: THE ORDER SONS OF ITALY IN AMERICA 219 E STREET, NE WASHINGTON, DC 20002 TEL: 202/547-2900 FAX: 202/547-1492 E-MAIL: [email protected] WEB: WWW.OSIA.ORG Summer 2003 HONORING DIVERSITY: A SELECTION OF COMMEMORATIVE U.S. POSTAGE STAMPS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report compares the number of commemorative stamps and post cards issued by the U.S. Postal Service to honor individuals of Italian, African, Hispanic and Jewish descent. It reveals that since 1869, the U.S. Postal Service has honored 15 people of Italian heritage with postage stamps compared to 150 African Americans, 36 Jewish Americans and 14 Hispanic Americans. The Italian Americans with commemorative stamps are: mayor Fiorello La Guardia, football coach Vince Lombardi (2 stamps and an envelope), Bank of America founder Amadeo Giannini, soprano Rosa Ponselle, boxer Rocky Marciano, comedian Lou Costello and the 18th century patriot Francesco Vigo, believed to be the first Italian to acquire American citizenship (1747-1836). Also honored are Italian citizens whose careers flourished in the United States: Arturo Toscanini, Enrico Caruso, Rudolph Valentino, Enrico Fermi and Filippo Mazzei, who was an 18th century physician and friend of Jefferson. The report also compares the number of commemorative stamps and post cards issued by the U.S. Postal Service that recognize Italian, African, Hispanic and Jewish history and culture. As of the spring 2003, 64 stamps and postcards feature Hispanic history; 56 stamps feature Italian art; 47 stamps honor Columbus; 13 stamps and post cards have African American themes and 6 stamps and post cards commemorate Jewish American history and culture.

  • "Racial and Religious Democracy"
    Stanford Law Review Volume 72 June 2020 ARTICLE “Racial and Religious Democracy”: Identity and Equality in Midcentury Courts Elizabeth D. Katz* Abstract. In our current political moment, discrimination against minority racial and religious groups routinely makes headlines. Though some press coverage of these occurrences acknowledges parallels and links between racial and religious prejudices, these intersections remain undertheorized in legal and historical scholarship. Because scholars typically study race and religion separately, they have overlooked the legal significance of how race and religion coexist in both perpetrators and victims of discrimination. By contrast, this Article demonstrates that the intersection of racial and religious identities has meaningfully influenced legal and political efforts to achieve equality. Drawing from extensive archival research, this Article unearths forgotten yet formative connections between racial and religious antidiscrimination efforts, at the local through federal levels, from the 1930s through the 1950s. To examine these links, this account * Associate Professor of Law, Washington University in St. Louis.

  • Gemma La Guardia Gluck: Sister of Fiorello La Guardia and Holocaust Survivor
    Gemma La Guardia Gluck: Sister of Fiorello La Guardia and Holocaust Survivor Gemma’s and Fiorello’s father Achille was a native of Foggia, Italy, and their mother Irene Luzzatto-Coen was an Italian Jew from Trieste, a seaport of the Austro- Hungarian Empire which became part of Italy after World War I. They came to the United States in the early 1880s, where Fiorello, Gemma and their brother Richard were born. Achille became a U.S. Army bandmaster, but they returned to Trieste to run a hotel after Achille contracted hepatitis from spoiled Army rations during the Spanish-American War in 1898. After Achille’s death in 1904, the family moved to Fiume where Fiorello was working for the U.S. consulate, but Fiorello moved back to the U.S. and became a translator at Ellis Island. Gemma La Guardia married Herman Gluck, a Hungarian Jew, and settled in Budapest. Herman worked for the Budapest Central Bank, and together they raised two children. They lived in relative safety during World War II until the spring of 1944, when the German Army overthrew Hungary’s wavering pro-Nazi government and invaded and occupied the country. Deportation of Jews to concentration camps then began. The Glucks were taken to the Mauthausen concentration camp, but the Nazis knew Gemma was the sister of the mayor of New York City. They separated her from Herman and took her to Ravensbruck, a forced labor camp. Eventually she, her daughter Yolanda and infant grandchild Richard were taken to Berlin to be used in a prisoner exchange which never occurred.
