Ziemke University of Georgia MEMBERSHIP AND DUES Membership is open to anyone interested in the history of the Second World War. Annual dues, payable in January for the calendar year, are $10.00 for regular members, as well as for institut.ions receiving the semiannual newsletter, and $2.00 for students. Those wishing to join or to renew their membership are invited to fill out the lower part of the Information and Membership Form (attached to this news­ letter as an unnumbered page) and to return it, with the appropriate remittance, to the secretary. The information provided on the form will be included, unless otherwise requested, in the Membership Directory. NOTE ON THE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY Newsletter 19, issued this past spring, included a thirty- five page directory of the membership of the ACHSWW. A re­ vised version will be prepared for the Spring 1979 news­ letter. It will not include, as originally planned, a listing of the officers of the International Committee and the chair­ men of the affiliated national committees, for they are listed on pp. 23-26 of the attached News Bulletin of the International Commi ttee • The directory in the ACHSWW's next newsletter will refle,~:t changes of address and correction of errors kindly brought to our attention. Recent moves that have not yet been reported, as well as other changes in or additions to indi­ vidual entries, may be indicated on the attached Information and Membership Form. COMMITTEE ELECTIONS The three-year terms of eight of the directors and of the committee's two officers end on 31 December 1978. Following the established practice of the committee, the directors, acting as a nominating committee, have selected a slate of incumbents and new candidates. These nominations are recorded on the ballot attached to this newsletter (as an unnumbered page following the International Committee News Bulletin) . Members are requested to send their completed ballots to the secretary at their earliest convenience, either enclosing them when they renew their membership or sending them separ­ ately. Because of possible delays in postal service during November (when this newsletter with the ballot is being mailed) and December, ballots will not be tallied until January. 2 THE INTEm~ATIONAL COMMITTEE NEWS BULLETIN The September 1978 issue of the News BUlletin of the Inter­ national Committee is appended to this newsletter following the bibliography, \vhich ends on page 28. We hope to pro­ vide ACHSWW members regularly with copies of this bulletin, with its valuable coverage of international activities and scholarship on the area of the Second World War. THE 1978 ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the ACHSWW is being held this year! as in the past, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Historical Association. In 1978 the joint meeting is .being held in San Francisco. BUSINESS MEETING The ACHSWW Business Meeting is scheduled to take place from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, 28 December 1978, in the Walnut Room of the San Francisco Hilton. The tentative agenda includes plans for a joint session proposal for the 1979 annual meeting, being held in New York, and for the program of the 1980 Conference of the Interna­ tional Committee for the History of the Second World War, being held in conjunction with the Fifteenth International Congress of Historical Sciences in Bucharest. (Information on the International Co~mittee's plans for this conference will be found in the International Committee's Bulletin, which is appended to this newsletter.) Another item on the agenda will be the question of research resources on the World War II era, the topic on which the ACHSWN initially had proposed a joint session, but for which a substitution had to be made, as explained below. No formal presentation on research resources is planned, but rather a general discussion of what the committee may be able to do in order to facilitate the study of the World War II era. (The com~ mittee secretary--should any member wish to contact him before the meeting regarding the agenda or for other reasons--is planning to arrive at the San Francisco ~ilton on the evening of the 27th.) 1978 JOINT SESSION At the 1977 business meeting of the ACHSWW, it was resolved, as reported in Newsletter 19, that the committee propose a joint session with the AHA on the topic of Research Resources for the Era of the Second World War. a panel discussion including leading authorities (among them three members of the committee's board) on different aspects of the challenge of developing control of the vast and growing body of source materials on the World War II period. When it was learned that the AHA Program Committee, relatively early in its deliberations, had ruled out our proposal, it was arranged 3 4 to co-sponsor another proposed session that had, in a sense t grown out of our May 1977 conference on the postwar occupation of Germany and Japan t but that had not been initially adopted by the program committee. The AHA-ACHSWW joint session for the 1978 meeting t as finally approved t will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 28 Dec., in the Borgia Room of the St. Francis Hotel, Session 55.

MAIER BROADCASTING over the BBC in November 1945, A. J. P. Taylor assured his lis- teners, "Nobody in Europe believes in the American way of life-that is, in pri- vate enterprise; or rather those who believe in it are a defeated party and a party which seems to have no more future than the Jacobites in England after 1688. "I Taylor proved to be wrong, or at least premature, about the end of pri- vate enterprise. The question here is why, at least in Western Europe, there was less transformation than he envisaged. Posed in broader terms, how did Western Europe achieve political and social stability by the mid-twentieth century after two great, destructive wars and the intervening upheaval. Historians often treat stability as a passive coming to rest or a societal inertia that requires no explanation.

    Criticism of “Fascist Nostalgia” in the Political Thought of the New Right

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS WRATISLAVIENSIS No 3866 Studia nad Autorytaryzmem i Totalitaryzmem 40, nr 3 Wrocław 2018 DOI: 10.19195/2300-7249.40.3.6 JOANNA SONDEL-CEDARMAS ORCID: 0000-0002-3037-9264 Uniwersytet Jagielloński Criticism of “fascist nostalgia” in the political thought of the New Right The seizure of power by the National Liberation Committee on 25th April, 1945 and the establishment of the republic on 2nd June, 1946 constituted the symbolic end to Mussolini’s dictatorship that had lasted for more than 20 years. However, it emerged relatively early that fascism was not a defi nitively closed chapter in the political and social life of Italy. As early as June of 1946, after the announcement of a presidential decree granting amnesty for crimes committed during the time of the Nazi-Fascist occupation between 1943 and 1945, the country saw a withdrawal from policies repressive towards fascists.1 Likewise, the national reconciliation policy gradually implemented in the second half of the 1940s by the government of Alcide De Gasperi, aiming at pacifying the nation and fostering the urgent re- building of the institution of the state, contributed to the emergence of ambivalent approaches towards Mussolini’s regime. On the one hand, Italy consequently tried to build its institutional and political order in clear opposition towards fascism, as exemplifi ed, among others, by a clause in the Constitution of 1947 that forbade the establishment of any form of fascist party, as well as the law passed on 20th June, 1 Conducted directly after the end of WW II, the epurazione action (purifi cation) that aimed at uprooting fascism, was discontinued on 22nd June 1946, when a decree of president Enrico De Nicola granting amnesty for crimes committed during the Nazi-Fascist occupation of Italy between 1943–1945 was implemented.

This thesis traces the history of the keystones of this New Industrial Order, the Organisation Committees, by focusing on the organisation of the French steel industry between the end of the Third Republic in 1940 and the establishment of the Fourth Republic in 1946. It challenges traditional views by showing that the Committees were created largely to facilitate economic collaboration with Nazi Germany.

John R O Gery University of New Orleans, USA “THE THOUGHT OF What AMerica”: EZRA POUND’S STRANGE OPTIMISM Abstract Through a reconsideration of Ezra Pound’s early poem “Cantico del Sole” (1918), an apparently satiric look at American culture in the early twentieth century, this essay argues how the poem, in fact, expresses some of the tenets of Pound’s more radical hopes for American culture, both in his unorthodox critiques of the 1930s in ABC of Reading, Jefferson and/or Mussolini, and Guide to Kulchur and, more significantly, in his epic poem, The Cantos. The essay contends that, despite Pound’s controversial economic and political views in his prose (positions which contributed to his arrest for treason in 1945), he is characteristically optimistic about the potential for American culture.

Four additional letters written by MacDiarmid’s second wife, Valda Grieve, to Sorley MacLean have also been included as they shed further light on the relationship which evolved between the two poets over the course of almost fifty years of friendship. These letters from Valda were archived with the unpublished correspondence from MacDiarmid which the Gaelic poet preserved. The critical introduction to the letters examines the significance of these poets’ literary collaboration in relation to the Scottish Renaissance and the Gaelic Literary Revival in Scotland, both movements following Ezra Pound’s Modernist maxim, “Make it new.” The first chapter, “Forging a Friendship”, situates the development of the men’s relationship in iii terms of each writer’s literary career, MacDiarmid already having achieved fame through his early lyrics and with the 1926 publication of A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle when they first met.

For all formal use please refer to the official version on the website, as linked below. Politics, Poetry and Ezra Pound https://www.e-ir.info/2019/06/19/politics-poetry-and-ezra-pound/ REVD DAVID WILLIAM PARRY, JUN 19 2019 Political concepts can be overwhelming. Often, they have an oceanic allure beyond themselves. Indeed, structural narratives surrounding ethical insights may easily transform into a siren song whereby incautious navigators are enticed to their own destruction.[1] All meaning, of course, even those arguments sandbagging the Modernist enterprise itself occasionally dam the languages of Identity and Time altogether. Unforeseen blockages, no doubt, albeit the type of reductive clotting which reduces social innovation, along with agreed cultural inheritance, into caricatures of themselves. Thence, with these wary caveats recognised, it remains fair to say Ezra Pound’s (1885–1972) haunted life and elative oeuvre still demand careful attention from poets and political scientists alike. Especially so, once Western democratic failure, otherwise known as the abattoirs of World Wars I and II, are honestly recollected.[2] Accompanied, as these almost unimaginable atrocities were, by the subsequent reactions of bewildered Youth across our Occidental world. Anyhow, it remains noteworthy that their tragic (but explicit) disenchantment with permissive ‘advancement’ led to an appropriation of distant cultures as a radical critique of ‘liberal’ ineptitude. A position Pound championed through a series of dazzling literary strategies, although this very discourse currently casts dark, ironic, shadows across the turbulent waters of his promethean originality.
