Also layed in is a presentation letter to Celler from Harcourt Books for the book ECONOMIC CONCENTRATION: STRUCTURE, BEHAVIOR AND PUBLIC POLICY" and a blank piece of letterhead from the "Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, Memorandum". Book is well used. Spine logo rubbed away. Binding shaken but solid. Looks like this was a valuable reference work for one of the more important pieces of post-war Civil Rights ligislation. From the Web: Emanuel Celler (May 6, 1888–January 15, 1981) was a politician from New York who served in the United States House of Representatives for almost 50 years, from March of 1923 to January of 1973. For his first twenty-two years in Congress, 1923–1945, Celler represented New York's Tenth Congressional District. Redistricting in 1944 put him into the Fifteenth District from 1945 to 1953; from 1953 to 1963 his district was the Eleventh and for his final decade in Congress, 1963–1973, it was back to its 1922 designation as the Tenth.Celler was a native of Brooklyn and of mixed German Catholic and Jewish heritage. A graduate of Columbia Law School, he was the first Democrat to ever serve his district and was the fourth longest-serving congressman in history (only Representatives Jamie Whitten, John Dingell and Carl Vinson served longer). A practicing lawyer before entering politics, in Congress he was particularly involved in issues relating to the judiciary and immigration.Celler made his first important speech on the House floor during consideration of the Johnson Immigration Act of 1924. Three years earlier, Congress had imposed a quota that limited immigration for persons of any nationality to 3 percent of that nationality present in the United States in 1910, with an annual admission limit of 356,000 immigrants. This national origin system was structured to preserve the ethnic and religious status quo of the United States by reducing immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe, thereby excluding many Jews and Catholics. Celler was vehemently opposed to the act. The Johnson act passed the isolationist Congress and was signed into law. Celler had found his cause, and for the next four decades he vigorously spoke out in favor of eliminating the national origin quotas as a basis for immigration restriction.In July 1939, a strongly worded letter from Celler to Secretary of State Cordell Hull helped set in motion an extremely prolonged process of 45 years that finally led in 1984, three years after Celler's death, to full, formal diplomatic relations between the United States and the Holy See.[1] In the 1940s, Celler opposed both the isolationists and the Roosevelt administration by forcefully advocating that the United States relax immigration laws on an emergency basis to rescue those fleeing the Holocaust. In 1943, he called FDR's immigration policy "cold and cruel," and blasted "the glacier-like attitude of the State Department". In the early 1950s, Celler was the target of attacks by Sen. Joseph McCarthy. At the 1952 Democratic National Convention, Celler gave a speech in which he responded to Sen. McCarthy, saying: "Deliberately and calculatedly, McCarthyism has set before itself the task of undermining the faith of the people in their Government. It has undertaken to sow suspicion everywhere, to set friend against friend, and brother against brother. It deals in coercion and in intimidation, tying the hands of citizens and officials with the fear of the smear attack."As Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee in the 1960s, Celler was involved in drafting and passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and the Voting Rights Act. In January 1965, Celler proposed in the House the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, which clarifies an ambiguous provision of the Constitution regarding succession to the presidency. Also in 1965, he proposed and steered to passage the Hart-Celler Act which eliminated national origins as a consideration for immigration. This was the culminating moment in Celler's 41-year fight to overcome restriction on immigration to the United States based on national origin.In 1972, Celler unexpectedly lost the Democratic primary to Elizabeth Holtzman, who went on to win the election and serve as a Representative until 1981. Holtzman eked out a victory over the veteran Celler based chiefly on his opposition to feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment. The fact that Celler, who was on good terms with Richard Nixon, was replaced by Peter Rodino as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee played a role in enabling Congress to pursue the Watergate hearings. Celler died in his native Brooklyn at the age of 92. Good/No Dust Jacket. USD 850.00 [Appr.: EURO 567 \| £UK 511 \| JP¥ 75019] Book number: 004321 Click here to order or inquire at Hang Fire Books.

	EDGE, WALTER EVANS; ROBERT PELL (FOREWORD) Speeches and Public Statements by Walter Evans Edge (Ambassador to France 1929-1933) [Signed] Self-published, 1933. First Edition. Soft Cover. Signed Presentation copy to Norman Armour (also signed by Armour). Signed letter from Edge layed-in. Moderate age-wear and bumping/chipping to edges. A few large chips Presentation copy to Norman Vincent Armour. From the web: "Norman Armour was a career diplomat and Assistant Secretary of State, was born October 14, 1887 in Brighton, England to American parents. He received his B.A. from Princeton in 1909 and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1913. Armour returned to Princeton to obtain an M.A. in 1915, whereupon he joined the State Department and was immediately posted to the U.S. Embassy in Paris. This was the first in a long series of assignments, placing Armour in the heart of revolutionary Russia (1916-1919), fascist Spain (1924), post-revolutionary Chile (1938), and Haiti during the withdrawal of American troops (1933). Among his other posts were: Tokyo, Rome, Uruguay, Argentina and Canada. Armour married Russian princess Myra Koudacheff in 1919, after he helped her to flee her homeland. (Armour himself crossed the border to Finland disguised as a Norwegian courier.) Through witnessing the upheavals and perpetual instability of Russia and other countries, Armour came to loathe rebellion and to esteem and promote the dependability of the American system. The Washington Post reported, "Unlike many emissaries, he represented his country, not the country to which he was posted and certainly not himself." For his considered approach, polished manner and patriotism, Armour earned promotions quickly, rising from 3rd Secretary of the U.S. Embassy in Petrograd, to Ambassador to Chile, to Assistant Secretary of State (1947-48). He was reputed to be the "ideal" diplomat: straightforward, communicative, and aristocratically old-fashioned. As one paper explained upon Armour's retirement: "The need nowadays is for men who know this or that expertly..the wide-ranging knowledge which Mr. Armour acquired from his rich experience and which his natural gifts tempered into ripe judgements would not come amiss amid the seething and striving and self-centeredness of the specialists. Princeton awarded Armour the Woodrow Wilson Award in 1957. After retiring, he continued to advise the State Department and give lectures at Princeton and elsewhere. He died in 1982. Good .
