Nova Scotia Freedom Of Information Act, Keith R. Evans

Dalhousie Law Journal

Freedom of Information has been the subject of much current debate in Canada, but is not new to the world. The United States enacted their first Act, in 1966,1 and amendments in 1974 finally gave the Act some worthwhile effect. 2 Sweden has had Freedom of Information legislation for over two hundred years. The experience of these two countries has been very favourable, but Canada refuses to learn from that experience. There is still a fear in the governments of Canada that openness in government would lead to problems, the ultimate fear being that the party in power will no …

Japanese Attitudes Towards Commerical Agreements With The People's Republic Of China, Lewis Marks, Masaru Ono

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article intends to demonstrate the similarity of Japanese and Chinese attitudes towards contractual agreements by contrasting Japan-.P.R.C. agreements with Japan-United States and Japan-third world agreements. This similarity of attitudes, the structural support framework for bilateral trade, technology, and after-sales service can explain Japan's success in trading with the P.R.C.

Dalhousie Law Journal

An earlier study,' relying upon texts of bilateral loan agreements concluded between Denmark and certain developing countries, 2 and between the United Kingdom and certain developing countries, 3 discloses that there is a need for further examination of the subject for the purposes of updating and assessing the trend of developments in this area of international law.

The selection of these three developed, market economy States …

P.S. Vig And The Americanization Issue During World War I, Peter L. Petersen

The Bridge

World War I and the Americanization campaigns which accompanied it had a pr0found impact upon ethnic relations in the United States. Although German-Americans bore the brunt of rapidly emerging anti-foreign sentiments, no ethnic group was totally free of suspicion and public condemnation. In Iowa, Governor William Lloyd Harding defended his proclamation forbidding the public use of foreign languages by attacking the Danish element in the Hawkeye State's population. According to the Governor, who was speaking before a large crowd at Sac City on July 4, 1918, young Danes in Iowa were not getting a proper American upbringing. Pointing to the …

The United States Military Pension System : Toward A Rational Reform With Commentary On The Report Of The President's Commission On Military Compensation, L. Shelton Clarke

Master's Theses

In August of 1974, I wrote U. S. Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr., the senior Virginia senator and T. Edward Braswell, Chief Counsel for the Senate Armed Services Committee for a good deal of material concerning the United States military pension system.

The system had intrigued me as a pension planner for many years for several reasons. First, the plan itself possessed grave design defects, which if allowed to exist in private plans would lead the employer corporation excessive cost and possibly fiscal insolvency. Second, with the quadrupling of the price of oil in 1974 and the creation of a …

The American Family In A Decade Of Change: The 1950s, Calvin Bryon Thomas

History Theses & Dissertations

After World War II, various forces developed or gained momentum which affected families in the fifties. In the 1950s, many men witnessed a decline of authority in the family unit, while women and children achieved new positions of importance. Also, certain values of families deviated from those of earlier generations. Furthermore, family members had more spare time for leisure activities within and outside the home.

Throughout the decade, many young people. began to date, go steady, engage in premarital sex, and marry sooner than in former years. The marriage rate remained fairly high in the decade and the birth rate …

The British Diplomatic Response To The Central American Policies Of The Franklin Pierce Administration, 1853-1856, William Mark Hillsman

History Theses & Dissertations

This thesis is an examination of the British Foreign Office's response to the Central American policies of the Franklin Pierce administration. When the Pierce administration came to power in 1853 the United States government abandoned the idea, contained in the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1850, of an Anglo-American partnership in Central America and instead launched a diplomatic offensive designed to force Britain completely out of the area. The major source for this study is the Clarendon Manuscripts which contain the personal correspondence of Foreign Secretary Clarendon and his minister in Washington, John F. Crampton, as well as numerous intergovernmental memoranda and …

A Descriptive Study Of Institutionalized Adjudicated Delinquents In The State Of Alabama On Selected Demographic Factors., Ernest R. Williams

All ETDs from UAB

In its 1967 report, the Task Force on Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Crime of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice called juvenile crime "the single most pressing and threatening aspect of the crime problem in the United States." There is little evidence that the magnitude of the problem has dissipated in the succeeding ten years.

Medical Jurisprudence Offerings In Curricula Of Medical Schools In Selected Southeastern United States., Lois Annette Gray

All ETDs from UAB

Malpractice suits have been filed against physicians with increasing frequency in recent years. While many different reasons for the increase have been given, among those suggested is that physicians in general are not knowledgeable about medical jurisprudence to the degree they are able to prevent legal action being taken against them. If this is so, then there is an implication of a need to educate prospective and practicing physicians in the subject of medical jurisprudence.

Methodist Circuit-Riders In America, 1766-1844, William A. Powell Jr.

Master's Theses

The Methodist Episcopal Church became the largest religious denomination in the United States during the 1820's.

These itinerants traveled and proclaimed the gospel to citizens, many of whom joined the Church and became part of a religious movement which influenced the l development of culture in the United States.

The traveling minister in the Methodist Church was noted for his self-sacrificing spirit. He endured hardships in the ministry which few men of the present age can …

France, The United States And The Spanish-American War, Richard Henry Owens

History Theses & Dissertations

The present study is an examination of the effect of the Spanish-American War on the formal relations of France and the United States. Because France was the neighbor and friend of Spain and also at least an erstwhile friend of the United States, the war presented certain difficulties for the French government. At home colonialists and royalists sympathetic to Spain demanded overt support of the Spanish cause. The Spanish government looked to France first to lead a diplomatic coalition against the United States and then to mediate the dispute. The United States, meanwhile, urged Paris to follow a policy of …

U.S. Security Policy In Postwar Japan; The Making Of A Cold War Ally, Thomas James Hehman

History Theses & Dissertations

This thesis is an examination of the role of American policy makers in the transformation of Japan from a defeated, disarmed enemy to a Cold War ally on the path to rearmament during the Allied Occupation (1945-1952). The original Occupation goals of disarmament and demilitarization for Japan were embodied in Article IX of the American-sponsored Japanese Constitution of 1947. These goals were unilaterally discarded. 'by American policy makers as the Cold War developed and U,S. security policy in Asia dictated that Japan be rehabilitated as an ally. Douglas MacArthur presided over the Occupation of Japan almost in its entirety, and …
