  • When Fear Is Substituted for Reason: European and Western Government Policies Regarding National Security 1789-1919
    WHEN FEAR IS SUBSTITUTED FOR REASON: EUROPEAN AND WESTERN GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING NATIONAL SECURITY 1789-1919 Norma Lisa Flores A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Dr. Mark Simon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Michael Brooks Dr. Geoff Howes Dr. Michael Jakobson © 2012 Norma Lisa Flores All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Beth Griech-Polelle, Advisor Although the twentieth century is perceived as the era of international wars and revolutions, the basis of these proceedings are actually rooted in the events of the nineteenth century. When anything that challenged the authority of the state – concepts based on enlightenment, immigration, or socialism – were deemed to be a threat to the status quo and immediately eliminated by way of legal restrictions. Once the façade of the Old World was completely severed following the Great War, nations in Europe and throughout the West started to revive various nineteenth century laws in an attempt to suppress the outbreak of radicalism that preceded the 1919 revolutions. What this dissertation offers is an extended understanding of how nineteenth century government policies toward radicalism fostered an environment of increased national security during Germany’s 1919 Spartacist Uprising and the 1919/1920 Palmer Raids in the United States. Using the French Revolution as a starting point, this study allows the reader the opportunity to put events like the 1848 revolutions, the rise of the First and Second Internationals, political fallouts, nineteenth century imperialism, nativism, Social Darwinism, and movements for self-government into a broader historical context.

Email: [email protected] JEL Classifications: G1, N0, N2 Keywords: Liquidity, NYSE, World War I 1 Abstract What Happened to Liquidity When World War I Shut the NYSE? The suspension of trading on the New York Stock Exchange for more than four months following the outbreak of World War I fostered a substitute market on New Street as a source of liquidity. The New Street market suffered from impaired price transparency because its transactions were not disseminated on the NYSE ticker and its quotations were blacklisted at the leading newspapers. This paper shows that despite the incomplete information flow and the somewhat wider bid-ask spreads compared with the New York Stock Exchange, New Street offered economically meaningful liquidity services. The interference with price transparency turned an individual stock’s reputation for liquidity into an important added variable in explaining the structure of bid-ask spreads on New Street. 2 I. Introduction It is not so surprising that the outbreak of World War I forced the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to close.

Teves 9, 5772 January 04, 2012 MILESTONES After Verbal Sparring, Hagee And Yoffie May Meet Email a friend print Guest Book (0) Now that they’ve called each other disrespectful, Rabbi Eric Yoffie and the Rev. John Hagee are ready to meet and discuss their differences—respectfully. The two religious leaders have been squaring off for the past week. Yoffie in a major speech called on Jews to dissociate themselves from Hagee and the organization he founded, Christians United for Israel, asserting that the pastor did not respect other faiths or the right of Israeli leaders to make territorial concessions. Hagee, a San Antonio-based evangelical mega-church leader and arguably the country’s most influential Christian Zionist, fired back in a conference call with reporters. “Rabbi Yoffie’s speech demonstrates not only a lack of respect for me but a troubling lack of respect for the truth,” he said. Hours after Hagee’s media call, however, both men were sounding a more conciliatory note. “I was told he was interested in meeting with me,” said Yoffie, the president of the Union of Reform Judaism, said. “I’d be delighted to sit down and talk to him.” Hagee’s spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed that the pastor was considering such a meeting. Yoffie’s initial speech and the potential for a rapprochement come as Hagee is working to repel a tidal wave of negative publicity unleashed by his endorsement of U.S.

  • [List of Stocks Registered on National Securities Exchanges]
    F e d e r a l R e s e r v e Ba n k O F D A LLA S Dallas, Texas, July 29, 1953 To All Banking Institutions in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District: On June 9, 1953 we sent you a copy of Amendment No. 12 to Regulation U which is to become effective August 1, 1953. A principal provision of the amendment is that a bank loan for the purpose of purchas­ ing or carrying a “redeemable security” issued by an “ open-end company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose assets customarily include stocks registered on a national securities exchange, shall be deemed under the regulation to be a loan for the purpose of purchasing or carrying a stock so registered. The amendment also provides that in determining whether or not a security is a “ redeemable security,” a bank may rely upon any reasonably current record of such securities that is published or specified in a publication of the Board of Governors. This, of course, adopts the same procedure as that specified in the regulation for determining whether or not a security is a “ stock registered on a national securities exchange,” and in the past the Board has published a “ List of Stocks Registered on National Securities Exchanges.” This list has now been revised and expanded to include also a list of “redeem­ able securities” of the type covered under the regulation by Amendment No. 12 thereto. A copy of this list dated June, 1953 and listing such stocks and securities as of March 31, 1953 is enclosed.

Leinenweber DAVID COLEMAN HEADLEY ) GOVERNMENT’S POSITION PAPER AS TO SENTENCING FACTORS The United States of America, by and through its attorney, Gary S. Shapiro, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully submits the following as its position paper as to sentencing factors and objections to the Presentence Report: I. Introduction Determining the appropriate sentence for David Headley requires consideration of uniquely aggravating and uniquely mitigating factors. Headley played an essential role in the planning of a horrific terrorist attack. His advance surveillance in India contributed to the deaths of approximately 164 men, women, and children, and injuries to hundreds more. Undeterred by the shocking images of death and destruction that came out of Mumbai in November 2008, Headley traveled to Denmark less than two months later to advance a plan to commit another terrorist attack. Headley not only worked at the direction of Lashkar e Tayyiba for years, but also with members of al Qaeda. There is little question that life imprisonment would be an appropriate punishment for Headley’s incredibly serious crimes but for the significant value provided by his immediate and extensive cooperation. Case: 1:09-cr-00830 Document #: 358 Filed: 01/22/13 Page 2 of 20 PageID #:2893 As discussed in this and other filings, the information that Headley provided following his arrest and in subsequent proffer sessions was of substantial value to the Government and its allies in its efforts to combat international terrorism.

Other Broadsides 17 Maps 18 Newspapers 18 Periodicals 19 Photos and Illustrations 19 Genealogy 21 Histories of the War of 1812 23 Maryland in the War of 1812 25 This document serves as a guide to the Maryland Center for History and Culture’s library items and archival collections related to the War of 1812. It includes manuscript collections (MS), vertical files (VF), published works, maps, prints, and photographs that may support research on the military, political, civilian, social, and economic dimensions of the war, including the United States’ relations with France and Great Britain in the decade preceding the conflict. The bulk of the manuscript material relates to military operations in the Chesapeake Bay region, Maryland politics, Baltimore- based privateers, and the impact of economic sanctions and the British blockade of the Bay (1813-1814) on Maryland merchants. Many manuscript collections, however, may support research on other theaters of the war and include correspondence between Marylanders and military and political leaders from other regions. Although this inventory includes the most significant manuscript collections and published works related to the War of 1812, it is not comprehensive. Library and archival staff are continually identifying relevant sources in MCHC’s holdings and acquiring new sources that will be added to this inventory. Accordingly, researchers should use this guide as a starting point in their research and a supplement to thorough searches in MCHC’s online library catalog.
