JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office. -

Willis, Edwin E. (1904-1972)
Collection 46 Willis, Edwin E. (1904-1972). Papers, 1949-1969 149 feet, 7 inches; 20 volumes Edwin Edward Willis was born 2 October 1904 in Arnaudville, Louisiana. He was the eleventh child of Olanda Willis and Julia Harding. In 1929, he married Estelle Bulliard, and they had one son. In 1926, Willis received his law degree from Loyola University in New Orleans. He practiced law in St. Martinville, and was a strong supporter of the Long Party. In 1948 Willis was elected to Congress from the 3rd Louisiana Congressional District as a Democrat. He remained in the House of Representatives until 1969. He served as a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) from 1955-1963, and was chairman from 1963-1969. He was a strong supporter of HUAC and a rigid anti-communist. He felt that the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 1960s were communist inspired. However, he also opposed the anti-civil rights activities of the Ku Klux Klan and consistently endorsed Democratic candidates for president. While in Congress, Willis sought subsidies for sugar planters, federal funding for the Morganza Spillway, and federal royalty payments to Louisiana from the tidelands oil. Willis suffered a series of strokes in 1966, and his poor health contributed to his defeat by Patrick Caffery in the 1968 Democratic primary. He died 16 October 1972. This collection contains extensive Congressional office records including correspondence, photographs, press releases, reports, scrapbooks and other materials. Almost all series contain constituent correspondence. Series: A. General Congressional Correspondence 1-01 thru 88-07; 128-01 and 128-02; 245-01 thru 245-05 1. -

APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESI Bernard v. Burke, Chainnan George c. Hoffma~ ~ This thesis contends from the time of September 1940 to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States and Japan offered each no workable concessions that might have deterred war. A stalemate was finnly established between the two countries. The position ,of the Japanese nation was to expand and control "Greater East-Asia," while the position the United States held was one that claimed all nations should uphold certain basic principles of democracy, that all nations should honor the sanctity of treaties," and that they should treat neighboring countries in a friendly fashion. -

The Rise of the United States' Airfield Empire in Latin
The Rise of the United States’ Airfield Empire in Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia (1927-1945) How America’s Political Leaders Achieved Mastery over the Global Commons and created the “American Century” By Jonathan Ruano de la Haza June 1, 2012 Supervisor: Professor Eda Kranakis HIS 9999 T Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD degree in History University of Ottawa Department of History Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies University of Ottawa © Jonathan Ruano de la Haza, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 i Abstract The Rise of the United States’ Airfield Empire in Latin America, North Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia (1927-1945): How America’s Political Leaders Achieved Mastery over the Global Commons and created the “American Century” Jonathan Ruano 2012 Professor Eda Kranakis Since the Second World War, the United States has mastered the global commons (the airspace and the sea lanes) with an empire of bases that encircled the earth. These U.S. military bases have not only supported military operations, but were also the foundations for American hegemony. U.S. military bases were key tools of economic domination and globalization, since their purpose was to insure that American corporations enjoyed privileged access to the world’s markets, raw materials and cheap labor. This dissertation seeks to explain the origins of the United States’ base empire, with the main focus being on its overseas aerial infrastructure. By the 1920s, Washington policymakers navigated through the currents of anti-imperialism and pacifism to create an empire that consisted of military bases, but also commercial airfields that could be converted to military use.
