Abstract:

Records, mainly 1948-1992, of an independent leftist newspaper originally known as the National Guardian and established by James Aronson, Cedric Belfrage and John T. McManus in 1948. After reorganization in 1967 as a worker cooperative and a name change to the Guardian, the paper was a Marxist-Leninist organ. It ceased publication in 1992. The paper's early history is documented primarily by a reference library of publicity materials issued by numerous domestic social action and political organizations, labor unions, and foreign governments and advocacy groups. Among the topics are the civil rights of African Americans; the House Un-American Activities Committee; and numerous individual civil liberties, loyalty oath, and sedition cases. Also included are small quantities of photographic prints and negatives documenting staff and staff events as well as the work of staff photographers, 1951-1967, consisting only of contact sheets.

Note:

Portions of this collection are available only on microfilm.

The Guardian newspaper is available on microfilm in the Wisconsin Historical Society Library.

Anna Louise Strong's camera used in China received as part of M94-076 was donated to the University of Washington Department of Special Collections which holds the Strong Papers.

The Guardian, a weekly newspaper, was begun on October 18, 1948 as the National Guardian by James Aronson, Cedric Belfrage, and John T. McManus, three experienced journalists, to provide an independent source of news for all American progressives. Not only did the three men edit the paper, but they also owned it through the Weekly Guardian Associates, its publishing corporation. The editorial offices were based in New York City while the paper was published in York, Pennsylvania. During its early years the National Guardian was noted for its opposition to McCarthyism, its defense of the Rosenbergs, its support for racial justice, and its opposition to both the Korean and Vietnam wars.

In 1953 Belfrage and Aronson were summoned to appear before the Senate Subcommittee on Government Operations. After refusing to testify about alleged Communist sympathies, Belfrage, a citizen of the United Kingdom, was deported. He continued to write for the paper and assist in its management from a distance until 1967. McManus remained with the paper until his death in 1961. In 1967 Aronson resigned and turned over his shares in the paper to the staff. Although neither Aronson nor the staff ever spoke publicly about Aronson's acrimonious departure, many interpreted the split as a break between the Old Left and the New Left members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) on the paper's staff.

Under its new ownership the staff reorganized as a worker collective and changed its name to the Guardian. Jack A. Smith, who had joined the paper in 1963, became the new managing and chief editor, a responsibility he continued until his resignation in 1982. Working with him was a five-person Coordinating Committee elected by the staff that not only managed the paper but also monitored its increasingly radical political line. The turbulent times continued and at one point some dissident staff went on strike and produced an alternative paper, the Liberated Guardian. The Guardian's ideology became avowedly Marxist-Leninist after 1972 when Irwin Silber became executive editor. In 1977 the Guardian attempted unsuccessfully to organize local clubs that it hoped would spur the creation of a radical political party. The Guardian perhaps most resembled its earlier existence as the National Guardian with regard to financial problems. In 1992 the paper was forced to cease publication.

The Guardian records are divided into four series. The first series consists of minutes and agenda material for meetings of the Coordinating Committee, the staff organization that determined the management and editorial policy during the second phase of the newspaper's existence. The second series consists of a small number of subject files primarily dating from the second phase of the Guardian's history. The third series consists of a reference library created and used during the paper's early history. The fourth series consists of visual materials. In the comments that follow, the early years of the paper are referred to as the National Guardian era, while the later period is consistently referred to as the Guardian era.

Taken together, the records provide incomplete coverage of the weekly's 44-year history. As a consequence, the paper itself, which is available on microfilm in the Wisconsin Historical Society Library, provides the best overall historical documentation. The separately catalogued papers of James Aronson also held by the Historical Society contain additional information on his eighteen years with the paper.

The first series, the COORDINATING COMMITTEE FILES, dates from the reorganization of the paper as a worker cooperative in 1967 until its dissolution. However, coverage becomes extensive only after the late 1970s. The committee files are comprised of meeting agenda, minutes, and occasional notes; and chronologically-arranged internal memoranda, policy papers, correspondence, and other material that supported the committee discussions. The minutes and agenda come from files maintained by Editor Jack A. Smith, 1966-1982, and, after his resignation, from files separately donated by Anna DeCormis, a member of the staff. Although the records documenting the history of the paper are limited, the Coordinating Committee documented the issues it discussed via long policy papers and memoranda which provide good overall coverage of the editorial, ideological, and personal issues that marked the Guardian's history.

A small group of SUBJECT FILES includes some basic documents on the newspaper's legal status such as by-laws and articles of incorporation pertaining to both phases of its history, but the Guardian's later years are the predominant subject. Among the topics treated are ideological study groups and the tours to China and Cuba sponsored by the paper. The subject files also contain information on its support for foreign correspondent Wilfred Burchett, which continued until 1979. Burchett's correspondence consists of exchanges with Smith, Silber, and Irving Beinin about his reporting and ongoing financial problems. There is also some editorial correspondence with Anna Louis Strong, another longtime foreign correspondent. There are no true financial records in the collection, although some circulation reports and financial information may be found in the subject files and the policy papers. The file on Marilyn Clement, a professional fundraiser, documents an unsuccessful attempt to improve the Guardian's financial position. These files contain several folders of brief correspondence of Irving Silber, 1972-1977, exchanged with Cedric Belfrage, Carl and Anne Braden, and others.

The VISUAL MATERIALS consist of photographs, negatives, transparencies, and a videorecording. The visual materials primarily document the work of individual staff members and staff events that took place during the later years of the paper's existence. Among the prominent individuals pictured are Arthur Kinoy, Norma Becker, Ossie Davis, William Kuntsler, and Pete Seeger. The images from the paper's early history (1951-1967) consist of contact sheets of civil rights and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and other events covered by the National Guardian's own photographers. There are also transparencies used for two anniversary events. The videorecording is of James Aronson and Cedric Belfrage discussing how they attempted the idea of a “independent left newspaper” post-World War II.

Most of the Guardian's news photography (33 linear feet) was donated to the Tamiment Library. Those images are thought to be wire service images, but they may include some photographs taken by the newspaper's own photographers.

With a few exceptions, the NATIONAL GUARDIAN LIBRARY FILES are the only material in the collection that documents the paper's early history. Better, but incomplete information on this period may be found in the papers of editor James Aronson, which are also held by the Historical Society, and in Something to Guard: the Stormy Life of the National Guardian, the history written by Aronson and Belfrage in 1978. The library files are divided under domestic and foreign headings. The domestic files were heavily weeded to remove secondary political information that is widely available in printed sources such as the New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Federated Press, Newsweek, Daily Worker, or in archival collections held by the American Friends Service Committee, the National Archives, the United Nations Archives, and various labor union archives, as well as the Wisconsin Historical Society. Remaining are clippings and press releases from more obscure sources and occasional editorial correspondence and manuscript articles. The files document well a host of domestic organizations and topics that the National Guardian reported on such as the civil rights of African Americans; the House Un-American Activities Committee; and numerous individual civil liberties, loyalty oath, and sedition cases. There are also press releases for unions whose archives could not be readily located; these were primarily CIO unions such as the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers, and the National Union of Marine Cooks and Stewards. Also represented are the New York-based American Labor Party and numerous state committees of the Progressive Party.

The FOREIGN FILES were weeded less heavily. Remaining here are official releases from foreign governments, news stories distributed by international news services (many of which are in highly deteriorated condition), as well as additional editorial correspondence and news stories. Releases from the Washington D.C. embassies of Poland and the Soviet Union are numerous. Original news stories submitted by the National Guardian's foreign correspondents, some of which were probably not published, are among the most valuable parts of the Guardian records. These articles document news events in China; Germany; Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Eastern Europe; Japan; Korea; Vietnam; and the Soviet Union. The foreign files are complemented by additional correspondence and news stories in the James Aronson papers also held by the Wisconsin Historical Society.
