INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

Filmed as received. University Microfilms, A Xerox Education Company PREFACE This monograph is an historical analysis of a key Supreme Court case testing the constitutionality of executive agreements. It is a study both in diplomatic and constitutional history. In doing this the author has tried to demonstrate the mechanics of the legal process that begins with a Federal government suit in U.S. District Court and culminates in the final written opinions sub­ mitted by the Justices of the Supreme Court. He has also attempted to illustrate the subjective aspects of consti­ tutional law as well as the substantive issues of Presi­ dential diplomacy in both practice and law. United States v. Belmont was a 1937 Supreme Court case which firmly established the executive agreement with representatives of a foreign state without the advice or consent of the Senate, that is binding both as inter­ national and domestic American law. Although an executive agreement is not the same document as a treaty constitu­ tionally, it is like a treaty in that it supercedes con­ flicting state laws that would compromise the substance of such an agreement. Specifically, this case represented a test of constitutional power between the White House and the State of New York over property laws controlling former ii Russian corporate property in a New York City banking house. The significance of the Belmont case has far over­ shadowed the particular issues involved in the suit. Jus­ tice George Sutherland's opinion for the Court provided a legal basis for later extensive executive commitments to foreign nations. President Franklin D. Roosevelt con­ ducted American wartime diplomacy from 194 0 to 1945 almost exclusively by executive agreement. The American military commitment to South Viet-Nam is a recent, and highly con­ troversial, example of Presidential diplomacy with minimal Senatorial participation in policy-making. Indeed, the Viet-Nam imbroglio itself suggests the need for an his­ torical analysis of the recent origins of the President's expanded constitutional powers in the conduct of American foreign policy. The author would like to thank Professors Marvin Zahniser, Bradley Chapin, and Alfred Eckes of The Ohio State University for their patient assistance and criti­ cism. He must also acknowledge the research assistance of the Ohio State Law Library, the National Archives, and the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. The latter was particularly helpful in obtaining permission to use the Charles Evans Hughes Papers and the Harlan F. Stone Papers. Special appreciation is due to Professor Alpheus Thomas Mason of Princeton University for his efforts to facili­ tate this research project. The author also wishes to thank Mr. J. Paul McNamara of McNamara & McNamara (Colum­ bus, Ohio) for his advice and criticism in legal questions. VITA February 22, 1947 Born - New York, New York 1969 ...........

Robert H. Jackson, The Struggle for Judicial Suprem­ acy (New York, 1941) , p. TST, "Legal doctrines are not self-generated abstract categories. They do not fall from the sky; nor are they pulled out of it. They have a specific juridical origin and etiology. They derive meaning and content from the circumstances that gave rise to them and from the pur­ poses they were designed to serve. To these they are bound as is a live tree to its roots." Associate Justice Felix Frankfurter, concurring opinion in Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957), p. 50. vii CHAPTER I THE INTERNATIONAL POLITICS OF RECOGNITION On the evening of Thursday, November 16, 1933, Presi­ dent Franklin D. Roosevelt held his first annual dinner party for his cabinet. Besides the members of his council, Roosevelt had invited as guest of honor the visiting Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs, Maxim Litvinov, and key personnel of the Administration involved in untangling Soviet-American relations. A few of the guests drifted away after dinner? at eleven o'clock the President excused himself and went upstairs to his study. As he wheeled in, five people stood to greet him: Maxim Litvinov, Secretary of the Treasury Harry Woodin, Henry Morganthau, the chief of the Farm Credit Administration who would shortly re­ place Woodin, William C. Bullitt, FDR's personal advisor on Soviet affairs, and William Phillips, Under Secretary of State. Roosevelt presented Litvinov with seven notes to sign. These prepared drafts were the conditions the President demanded for American diplomatic recognition of Soviet Russia. Although the notes summarized the negoti­ ations of eight days, Litvinov still objected to the word­ ing of certain concessions. After further argument, the Commissar signed the drafts at about 1:40 a.m. Roosevelt joyfully signed five notes in exchange. To celebrate the resolution of sixteen years of misunderstanding, distrust, and political nonintercourse, the President quaffed with his guests the the last of the White House's illegal beer.'1' The signing of these twelve notes, dated November 16, 1933 (although really finalized early the following day) constituted the American recognition of the Communist government in Russia. The agreements which were negotiated preparatory to the official

Emerson 8 Copyright, 191 BY ARTHUR R. WILCOX 2^ / i-o Ubc "ftnicftctbocftcr press, tKz\o aoch TO MY MOTHER THIS VOLUME IS LOVINGLY AND .VFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED — " Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser—in fees, expenses and waste of time. As a peacemaker, the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. Never stir up litigation. A worse man can scarcely be found than one who does this. Who can be more nearly a fiend than he who habitually overhauls the register of deeds in search of defects in titles, whereupon to stir up strife and put money in his pocket? A moral tone ought to be enforced in the profession which would drive such men out of it." Lincoln. Foreword This work, undertaken chiefly as a diversion, soon became a considerable task, but none the less a pleasant one. It is something which should have been done long since. The eminence of some of Rye's lawyers fully justifies it. It is far from complete. Indeed, at this late day it could not be otherwise; records have disappeared, recollections have become dim, and avenues of investigation are closed. Some names, perhaps, have been rescued from oblivion.

    William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected]

    Department of Languages, Literature & Philosophy Languages, Literature & Philosophy Working Papers Tennessee State University Year 2007 William James and His Individual Crisis HARRY MADDUX [email protected] This paper is posted at E-Research@Tennessee State University. http://e-research.tnstate.edu/llp wp/2 William James and the Individual 1 William James and His Individual Crisis I. Introduction Students of William James have long commented on how critical periods of his life compelled crucial developments in his philosophical thought. Ralph Barton Perry was the first to capitalize upon this recognition, with his examination of how James’s depression resulted in a very practical and highly personalized belief in the necessity of action as the only viable response to the Darwinian “process of the universe” (Perry 1: 322). Charlene Seigfried posits that, in addition to this seminal event, James likely faced two other crises. In 1895, he turned from psychological studies to specifically philosophical issues (William James’s Radical Reconstruction 12). In 1908-1909, these endeavors forced him to “give up ‘intellectualistic logic’” entirely and depend on a reconstructed “rational strand” in order to answer the old question (first posed in The Principles of Psychology) of how many consciousnesses can be at the same time one consciousness (13). Such insights have enriched and enlivened James studies, but the generalized conclusion they indicate—that James’s philosophy was an intensely lived but largely successful experience—deserves reevaluation. The first part of this judgment is accurate; the second is far less so. James’s first crisis was without doubt a lonely experience precipitated by questions of his responsibility to society and his place among others’ lives (Perry 1: 322).

In applying that doctrine and its own precedents, the Court of Appeals acts in the State’s tradition of dirigisme, and subordinates constitutional protections for private property to centralized development.
