  • TAX-EXEMPT FOUNDATIONS Washington, D. C
    TAX-EXEMPT FOUNDATIONS FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1954 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SPECIAL CoMMIrrEE To INVESTIGATE TAX-EXEMPT FOUNDATIONS, Washington, D. C. Pursuant to resolution of the committee on July 2, 1954, at the in- struction of the chairman, the balance of the staff report prepared by Kathryn Casey, legal analyst, on the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foun- dations, was incorporated in the record of proceedings . (The report follows :) SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES OF CARNEGIE CORP. OF NEW YORK, CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE, THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDA- TION PREFACE Comments made following presentation of the first part of this summary of the activities of the Carnegie and Rockefeller philan- thropic trusts indicate a rather widespread misconception among foundation executives both as to the purpose of chronicling their activities in certain fields, and also as to the requirements of House Resolution 217-under which this and all other staff reports have been prepared. While varying somewhat in phraseology and manner of persen- tation, the theme of these comments was essentially the same, namely Why has the staff disregarded the many "good things attributable to the foundations? The best-and the only answer-is that the work of the staff, includ- ing both research and the preparation of reports, has been carried out in the light of the language in the enabling resolution by which the committee * * * authorized and directed to conduct a full and complete study of educa- tional and philanthropic foundations * * * to determine if (they) are using their resources for purposes other than (those) * * * for which they were established, and especially * * * for un-American and subversive activities ; for political purposes ; propaganda, or attempts to influence legislation.

  • Every Citizen a Statesman Building a Democracy for Foreign Policy in The
    Every Citizen a Statesman Building a Democracy for Foreign Policy in the American Century David John Allen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 David Allen All rights reserved Abstract Every Citizen a Statesman Building a Democracy for Foreign Policy in the American Century David Allen This dissertation asks how far Americans in the twentieth century reconciled the demands of global supremacy with the claims and realities of democracy. As an answer, it offers the first history of the movement for citizen education in world affairs. This movement, loose but coherent, acted on the belief that since the United States was a mass democracy, the creation of an interested, informed public for foreign policy was essential to its peace and security. After World War I, members of the foreign policy elite resolved to teach Americans to lead the world, and they created a network of new institutions to do so. The most important and visible of these institutions was the Foreign Policy Association, a non-profit, non-partisan group founded by New York progressives in 1918 to support Woodrow Wilson in the fight over the Treaty of Versailles. By 1925, it had morphed into the first true foreign policy think tank in the nation, with a research staff creating new, public-facing knowledge and disseminating it to a broadening public. The research staff’s Foreign Policy Reports and Foreign Policy Bulletin gave information to diplomats, scholars, editors, businessmen, lawyers, and teachers, information that was otherwise inaccessible.
