Kelley -J September, 1937 THE NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARDSMAN $ Up Ti-fotk -@venue -fiaain in 1937 in the history of Father Knickerbocker, will be staged by the Legionnaires during this Convention. The parade, of which Major General William N. Haskell is Grand Marshal, will go on night and day for twenty-four hours. Thousands of men who in 1917, 1918 and 1919 marched to the strains of martial music, up and down Fifth Avenue twenty years ago, will return again to participate in this allegorical pag­ eant—figurative of the services they gave to obtain peace. The theme of this pageant will be dedicated to the fact that the United States has remained unselfish and neutral to the nations that have been rattling the sabre and to emphasize the fact that the United States can live at peace with the rest of the world. There will be several hundred drum and bugle corps representative of every State in the Union in marching ranks. Floats depicting the historic back­ ground of the States of the Union and many other decorative contributions of the States will be in the line of march. The presence of the Governors with their staffs from thirty-seven States is already assured and representa­ tives of the American insu­ lar possessions such as the Philippine Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone and Virgin Islands, have al­ ready made reservations. The twenty-four hour New York parade will re­ flect a dignity and colorful- ness unequalled in the his­ tory of any similar pageant. It will manifestly be a par­ ade of the States of the Na­ tion—"Up Fifth Avenue Again in 1937." The Convention Corpor­ ation under the Legion rules will prohibit advertis­ ing on any float or unit that would have for its pur­ pose commercial advertis­ Harry N. Colmery ing. This parade in review K[ational Commander American Legion will also emphasize not only an unparalleled peace time demonstration as far as America is concerned but will also demonstrate a united citizenship and a united nation with peace and contentment. It is ex­ pected that the parade will be reviewed along the line of march by at least three million persons. The line of march will approximately be two miles long.

  • The Japanese Economy During the Interwar Period
    20092009--JE--21 The Japanese Economy during the Interwar Period: 両大戦間期Instabilityの日本における恐慌と政策対応 in the Financial System and ― 金融システム問題と世界恐慌への対応を中心にthe Impact of the World Depression ― Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies 金融研究所 鎮目雅人 Masato Shizume 2009 年 4 月 May 2009 The Japanese economy during the interwar period faced chronic crises. Among them, the Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 and the Showa Depression of 1930-31 marked turning points. The Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 was the consequence of persistent financial instability because of the incomplete restructuring in the business sector and postponements in the disposal of bad loans by financial institutions. The crisis brought reforms in the financial sector through large-scale injections of public funds and the amalgamation of banks. The Showa Depression of 1930-31 was caused by the Great Depression, a worldwide economic collapse, which had been intensified in Japan by the return to the Gold Standard at the old parity. Japan escaped from the Great Depression earlier than most other countries through a series of macroeconomic stimulus measures initiated by Korekiyo Takahashi, a veteran Finance Minister who resumed office in December 1931. Takahashi instituted comprehensive macroeconomic policy measures, including exchange rate, fiscal, and monetary adjustments. At the same time, the Gold Standard, which had been governing Japan’s fiscal policy, collapsed in the wake of the British departure from it in September 1931. Then, Japan introduced a mechanism by which the government could receive easy credit from the central bank without establishing other institutional measures to govern its fiscal policy. This course of events resulted in an eventual loss of fiscal discipline.

  • Herrick, Lott R 1933-1937
    Lott R. Herrick 1933-37 © Illinois Supreme Court Historic Preservation Commission Image courtesy of the Illinois Supreme Court Lott Russell Herrick was born December 8, 1871, in Farmer City in central Illinois to George W. and Dora O. Herrick. As a child, he attended the public schools in his home town, ending his local education in 1888 when he graduated from Moore Township High School at age sixteen. The following semester, he enrolled at the University of Illinois, graduating there in 1892 with a bachelor of arts degree and memberships in the Sigma Chi fraternity and the Phi Beta Kappa honor society.1 His father had a law degree from the University of Michigan, and Lott followed his father’s footsteps north and received his own Bachelor of Law degree from that institution in 1894. Returning home, he was admitted to the Illinois bar and joined his father in the law firm of Herrick & Herrick. His career choice surprised no one. Since the age of eleven, he had been helping his father around the office during school vacations and Saturdays and continuing on to full partnership seemed natural. Having settled into his professional life, he married Harriet N. Swigart of Farmer City on April 2, 1896. Together they had two daughters, Helen and Mildred.2 He became a county judge in DeWitt County in 1902. He resigned the position in 1904 after his father died to enable him to devote his full attention to the family law firm, which now included his brother.3 This move marked the beginning of a period of almost thirty years in 2 which his partnership achieved eminence throughout the region, giving him wider experience in the practice of law than almost anyone who rose to the Supreme Court bench.

He would apprec- iate, too, news items telling of temporary or permanent changes of . address, new publications, new discoveries, etc. Address: Wheeler P. Davey, Editor Society of Rheology School of Chemistry and Physics The Pennsylvania State College State College, Pennsylvania OUR NEXT MEETING The annual meeting of the Society of Rheology will be held in Akron, Ohio, October 22 and 23, 1937. The Hotel Mayflower will be the headquarters for this meeting. The technical sessions of the Society will probably be held in the Hotel. Tentative arrangements now include trips through the Tire Div- ision of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, the Mechanical Goods Division of the B. F. Goodrich Company, and the Laboratories of the Guggenheim Airship Institute. The personnel of the local committee will be: W. F. Busse, B. F. Goodrich Company A. M. Keuthe, Guggenheim Airship Institute J. W. Liska, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company J. H. Dillon, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company With this committee we are assured of the best accommodations as well as all we could desire in the way of entertainment. In addition, since Akron is the capital of the rubber industry, the multitude of direct and indirect applications of Rheology employed there will prove of interest to our membership. Akron is close to the ideal loca- tion for a meeting of our Society, as a recent analysis of the geograph- ical distribution of our membership has shown that our "center of gravity" lies somewhere in Ohio.

Duram A forethought: Once while pondering the difficulties ofgetting at intent and motives, the late Justice Felix FrankfUlter said: "The Devil himselfknoweth not the mind of man." (Concurring in Lelandv. Oregon. 343 U.S. 803) On February 5, 1937. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, emboldened by his landslide Presidential election victory over Kansas Governor Alfred M. Landon, sent Congress a bill to reorganize the Federal judiciary (hereafter cited as the court plan). Despite the President's insistence that the court plan was aimed at increasing the efficiency of the federal judiciary, it was, in truth, a thinly veiled attempt to add six new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. Roosevelt, who had been denied an opportunity to appoint any justices during his first term, was determined to overcome the Court's rigid opposition to New Deallegislation.l The Court's decisions in its 1935 and 1936 terms had virtually paralyzed federal and state attempts to create relief, recovery and reform programs aimed at alleviating the effects of the Great Depression. The decisions had sharply curtailed the uses of the federal taxing and commerce powers and the states' police powers. Moreover. the decisions were stated in such sweeping language that they seemed to suggest that the federal government and the states were precluded from any kind of effective action with regard to the economic crisis.2 President Roosevelt was stunned and surprised at the almost immediate bipartisan negative reaction against the plan in the Senate and the massive public opposition that appeared soon thereafter.

    Articles 29/4 2/9/99 10:15 am Page 485 Helen Graham ‘Against the State’: A Genealogy of the Barcelona May Days (1937) The state is not something which can be destroyed by a revolution, but is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of human behaviour; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by behaving differently.1 For a European audience, one of the most famous images fixing the memory of the Spanish Civil War is of the street fighting- across-the-barricades which occurred in Barcelona between 3 and 7 May 1937. Those days of social protest and rebellion have been represented in many accounts, of which the single best known is still George Orwell’s contemporary diary account, Homage to Catalonia, recently given cinematic form in Ken Loach’s Land and Freedom. It is paradoxical, then, that the May events remain among the least understood in the history of the civil war. The analysis which follows is an attempt to unravel their complexity. On the afternoon of Monday 3 May 1937 a detachment of police attempted to seize control of Barcelona’s central telephone exchange (Telefónica) in order to remove the anarchist militia forces present therein. News of the attempted seizure spread rapidly through the popular neighbourhoods of the old town centre and port. By evening the city was on a war footing, although no organization — inside or outside government — had issued any such command. The next day barricades went up in central Barcelona; there was a generalized work stoppage and armed resistance to the Catalan government’s attempt to occupy the telephone exchange.
