Church and Parliament $17.59 Olive J Brose Book This is the first modern, objective study of the Church of England's struggle against disestablishment in the nineteenth century, a struggle that resulted in a Church-State relationship that has remained substantially the same up to the present day. For over three decades some of the most lively minds in England were engaged in the controversy. The repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts in 1828, Roman Catholic emancipation in 1829, and the Reform Bill of 1832 signified a change in the historical link of Church and State. It is shown that the response of the Church to these events was a thoroughgoing administrative reform and a program of social adaptation. The work of the Ecclesiastical Commission is examined in great detail and is viewed as a part of the general Benthamite emphasis of the age on administrative efficiency. Emphasis is placed upon the political context in which this reshaping of the Establishment took place, and on the roles of Sir Robert Peel and Bishop Blomfield as creators and shapers of the policy. The prolonged struggle over education provides an instance of the essential ambiguity of a national church in a society whose center was no longer the Christian Church. The changed relationship between Church and State in the post-Reform years symbolized a change in men's thinking all along the line about the Church's place an its relation to society. The Church as an Establishment, as also the Monarchy before it, went through a metamorphosis instead of dying out. In explaining how and why tis metamorphosis took place, the author analyzes not only the particular administrative changes made, but their intimate relation to the patterns of thought prevailing in the government, the Church, and society at large.

The New Day : Campaign Speeches of Herbert Hoover 1928 $17.32 HERBERT HOOVER, Introduction by RAY LYMAN WILBUR Book The New Day : Campaign Speeches of Herbert Hoover 1928 Second Edition INTRODUCTION THE FACTS of Science have compelled new conceptions of government for a civilization which has virtually been made over in the last fifty years. Instead of the simple farm, village, and small seaport social structure of our forefathers we have the intricate, delicately balanced, interdependent economic organization of the present, with its intimate relationships to all peoples in all parts of the world. Human needs, aspirations, passions, and desires have not changed since the Declaration of Independence and the creation of our Constitution. The importance of keeping intact the rights of individuals and of developing their duties and responsibilities to society is now paramount. The Presidential campaign of 1928 was as significant as that of 1860. Not since the Lincoln-Douglas debates has the country followed the issues of a campaign with more intensity. The speeches of Mr. Hoover were measured statements of a new liberalism facing new conditions with courage and with confidence in the individual human being to act wisely for himself and for his neighbors. They clarified the citizen's relationship to the great economic mechanism resulting from the practical applications of invention, discovery, and widespread education. These speeches visualized those methods of entering upon the corning constructive period which will lead to equal opportunities for the youth of the United States of America in accordance with their abilities and industry. The Stanford University Press asked for the privilege of publishing these addresses of Mr. Hoover so that a permanent and authoritative record would be available. Just as his life and deeds have been an inspiration to generations of Stanford men and women, we think that these speeches will stimulate, guide, and hearten the people of our great democracy in the critical and formative years now before us.

Ozaki Hotsumi, the second-ranking member of the ring, was also a prominent journalist, a leading authority on China, and a consultant to the Konoye cabinet. Opposition to fascism led to a kind of heroic treason by m any intellectuals in the 1930's and 1940's; some of them betrayed their countries for the Soviet Union. On who did so was Ozaki, who joined Sorge and gave his life to the anti-fascist cause because he believed that his own nation's policies in China were reprehensible and that Japan's aggression would lead to military defeat and a probable domestic Communist revolution. Although the spy ring had many successes in supplying Stalin with the highest level information from within the Japanese government, its most important accomplishment was to inform Moscow of the Japanese decision to maintain its nonaggression treaty with the Soviet Union and to strike south against the United States and Britain - thus enabling Stalin to keep the Red Army intact against Hitler in the West. The only comparable espionage coup is that of the Cambridge Communists headed by Kim Philby, with whom Ozaki had much in common. When this book was first published in July 1964, the Soviet Union had never acknowledged the existence of Sorge. Two months later, and perhaps in response to the book's publication, Sorge was acclaimed as one of the Soviet Union's most illustrious spies and was made post humous "Hero of the Soviet Union's Ritus, the high-ranking Japanese Communist who was accused of betraying the Sorge ring to the Japanese authorities, was thought to have been killed by the Communists in China during the early 1950's. In 1980, the Chinese suddenly released him after 27 years in jail, and he returned to Japan to tell a complex and contradictory story. In an extensive Reprise prepared for this new edition, the author analyzes these developments in depth, as well as much other significant information that has come to light since the book's original publication.

By challenging the hegemonic discourse of the political core in Beijing, this newly constructed cultural space opens up exciting possibilities for concerned intellectuals worldwide as well as peripheral Chinese communities around the globe to provide inside perspectives on the meaning of being Chinese. Eleven leading scholars of Chinese society have imaginatively articulated the ambiguities and implications of this cultural space as a historically significant phenomenon. In the twentieth century, China experienced a level of cultural confusion it had never before known, as revolution, war, economic dislocation, and political authoritarianism took a heavy toll. One product of almost continual turmoil was an unprecedented rate of emigration. Another was the challenging of traditional Chinese culture by several Western ideologies, including Marxism. The whole concept of modernity, with all of its ambiguities, had profound effects on many aspects of the Chinese world, both in China and abroad. These essays attempt to illuminate how the events of the twentieth century in China affected the Chinese living outside China and suggest important reciprocal influences. Among the topics discussed are the long-range historical influence of the overseas Chinese, the relationship between ordinary Chinese and their leaders, a comparison of Han and non-Han cultural identities, the meaning of being a Chinese exile, the Chinese experience of living among non-Chinese, the Asian American experience, the "evil wife" in contemporary Chinese fiction, and, in a glance backward, what it meant to be Chinese before the invasion of the West. Tu Wei-ming, a Confucian scholar, is Professor of Chinese History and Philosophy at Harvard University.

W. Brogan Contemporary French politics has long evoked a variety of emotions, not only abroad but in France itself - astonishment, exasperation, amusement, ennui, sadness, contempt, to name but a few. It is the aim of this witty and spirited book to explain in detail the intricate, ritualized "rules of the game" that govern French parliamentary strategy and tactics. The shirking of responsibility, the conscious planning for the eventual failure of announced policy, the avoidance of action until complete disaster threatens, these are all major rules of the game, and the author has shown how these and other rules operated from 1951 through the breakdown of the Fourth Republic in the spring of 1958. An Epilogue analyzes the events of May and June, 1958, in the light of the rules. Perhaps the most important of the rules is the very opposite of that which President Truman laid down for himself, "the buck stops here." In the French system, the buck never stopped anywhere. Within the limits of this deliberate irresponsibility, the politicians could display animosity, ambition, rancor, revenge, and hate. But the game was played by players who preferred not to play in a way that would make a return match difficult. As Mr. Brogan remarks, “The deputies had to meet in the corridors, the restaurants, the bars, the committees as well, or in the chamber or round the table of the Council of Ministers. So there grew out a system of quite savage but not quite deadly dueling. The reader can leave with amusement or disgust, how it was possible to make the most profuse professions of support hurtful, even how to wound by applauding. For the student of that form of behavior attributed by men to women – that is, for the student of cattiness – this book is a treasure house.” It is conceded that many of these patterns of behavior are also found outside France, but it is also shown that even when French political practice corresponds to the universal game of politics, certain French peculiarities give a unique flavor to standard political practice. At the time of publication, Mr. Leites was a Visiting Lecturer at Yale University and a staff member of The RAND Corporation. He is the author of several books, including, The House Without Windows: France Selects a President.

The International City of Tangier $20.35 Graham H. Stuart Book This is a reproduction edition of the 1931 publication of this work. THE World War, which served as a last resource to cut the Gordian knot of tangled international relations, solved many of the difficult problems of diplomacy. The settlement itself, however, raised others of a different character and equally difficult of solution. The map of Europe redrawn to satisfy the needs of a burgeoning nationalism raised almost impossible situations to torment the well-meaning makers of a new world. Justice rarely follows as a corollary of force, and statesmen learned to their dismay that history may easily lend itself to opposite theses. A league of nations was wisely set up, a league handicapped necessarily by a heritage of difficult problems with which only an impartial and well-knit organization could hope to deal. Among the most difficult of these problems was that of international administration. The territories taken from Turkey and Germany had to be dealt with in a spirit different from that of conquests of the past. Minorities had to be protected, international rivers had to be kept free from local control, and certain areas like the Saar Basin and Danzig could only be administered by some sort of neutral agency. These problems were attacked and many have already been settled. But the ultimate success of international administration can be determined only after a long and fair trial. Yet the measurement of success or failure is after all largely relative and can be best approximated by a comparison of somewhat similar situations. With this in mind it should be of value in considering the problem of international administration to study experiments which have already been made. A number of examples immediately come to the mind of the investigator, especially public international unions, such as the postal and telegraph unions, the International Institute of Agriculture, the Pan-American Union, the Danube River Commission, and others of similar character. But of a decidedly more political nature and therefore furnishing much more difficult problems are the international administrative areas of Shanghai and Tangier. Here we find problems of an international character which by their very nature have induced systems of international control. Each area has presented its problems for a considerable period of time and neither set of solutions is yet entirely satisfactory. It has been the purpose of this study to consider the entire problem presented by Tangier, perhaps the oldest and most difficult problem of international administration. It is evident at the outset that such a problem can be considered properly only after a careful investigation into its historical background. For that reason an effort has been made to explore the situation first from the standpoints of geography, history, and diplomacy. With this as a foundation it has been possible to study the gradual development of the international control and to picture its present functioning. To obtain the proper perspective the writer thought it necessary to examine as far as possible all the material which has hitherto appeared on the subject in the three countries most concerned - France, Spain, and Great Britain. Coincident with this examination the writer discussed the question with various officials of these governments to obtain a personal impression of the present attitude. Finally, he spent a considerable time upon the spot in order to estimate fairly the problem and to form a more accurate appreciation of success in its solution.

Stuart Publisher: Stanford University Press 1931 ISBN: 0804743438 FACTS TO A CANDID WORLD: America's Overseas Information Program $15.31 Oren Stephens Book FACTS TO A CANDID WORLD America’s Overseas Information Program Oren Stephens Published in 1955. Essential to the security and well-being of a nation is the good opinion of other nations. The molding of international public opinion by propaganda is a vital function of government and one that should be understood by every citizen whom government serves. In, Facts to a Candid World, Oren Stephens, who has broad theoretical background and working experience in journalism and public relations, discusses propaganda - what it is, why it is important, and how t o make it internationally effective. As the author points out: "As public opinion is ultimately decisive within a state or empire, so is it ultimately decisive in the international arena." The first part of the book describes the power and nature of public opinion. The second part discusses America's overseas program, showing its weaknesses and strengths. Beginning with the Creel Committee, Stephens describes the work of the Office of War Information, the Voice of America, the International Information Administration, the United States Information Agency, and other official agencies. A pioneer study in the field of psychological warfare, Facts to a Candid World, is an analysis of the nature of propaganda, a credo for the specialist, and an explanation for the citizen.

Barton Book THE POLITICS OF PEACE An Evaluation of Arms Control John H. Barton Published in 1981 As practiced in the last two decades, arms control can provide some, but only very limited, help in maintaining peace; this is the conclusion that emerges from this evaluation of the capabilities and limitations of arms control. Substantial reductions in weapons am extremely desirable, but the author suggests that the current arms control approach is politically unable to produce such reductions, as confirmed by the SALT negotiations and the withdrawal of the draft SALT II treaty. After reaching this pessimistic judgment, the author considers possible changes in the arms control process. He carefully examines the problem of enforcement and finds that traditional concepts of large-scale international military forces am likely to be of little help, but that less dramatic procedures based on public opinion or on very constrained use of force are likely to be much more beneficial. He then reviews possible arms control applications to identify situations in which this favorable interplay can be achieved. The resulting new arms control agenda includes international organization reform, new kinds of expert groups, and new forms of international military consultation. For all these innovations the author suggests politically plausible first steps. John H.

This is an exhaustive analysis of national and international arms control: its history, philosophy, cultural context, technology, economic and political ramifications, achievements, and future prospects. The book reflects the combined contributions of the Stanford Arms Control Group, an interdisciplinary group of nearly twenty faculty members who have been jointly teaching an undergraduate arms control course at Stanford University since 1971. The book will assist the general reader in understanding and forming intelligent opinions on such issues as the role of doctrine in military strategy, the difficulties posed by rapidly changing technology, and the value limitations of arms control as a way to prevent war. It is also designed as supplementary reading for courses in international relations, diplomatic history, and foreign policy. An appendix contains the text of eighteen major arms control agreements. The volume concludes with discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. John H. Barton is Professor of Law at Stanford University. Lawrence D.

It has been our purpose to devote one part-the purely scientific part-to a clear, brief, accurate, and uncolored summary of the technical facts disclosed by research. For that part, which will be published separately later, including no thesis, no propaganda, no opinion on projects for the future, Dr. Stefan Riesenfeld is responsible. To him belongs the credit for the patient, competent work of investigation and compilation. The other part of the report, covered by this publication, is founded on Dr. Riesenfeld's research but is not confined to a statement of facts. It is a commentary on the research, . an interpretation of the facts, and a critical opinion of the possibilities of development of international practice (law) in the interests of justice; peace, and conservation. For this part of the report I am responsible. It does not necessarily express Dr. Riesenfeld's opinions, although I believe that in the main he agrees with me. It is a brief, and as a brief which seeks to influence others and to convert a phalanx of American legal opinion saturated with traditional doctrine, it has been modeled for emphasis. It is not a cold, bare, flat picture of events, but a selective arrangement of essential facts placed in bas relief. I think that I have made no statement of fact that is not accurate, no statement of opinion as to possibilities that should not meet with assent when the facts disclosed by our report are realized and my statement is interpreted correctly. Nevertheless opinions of the well informed as to law and policy may differ from mine, chiefly, I think, because of those fundamental differences in basic philosophic and temperamental motivations which commonly cause important differences of opinion between intelligent men on all matters of politics and government that do not so concern their immediate personal affairs as to prejudice their opinions accordingly.
