Abstract:

Papers of an author and journalist specializing in foreign affairs, who was long-associated (1928-1970) with Scripps-Howard Newspapers as editorial writer, columnist, and editor. Included are correspondence, memos, notes, a speech, charts of the appearances of his stories, and copies of his Scripps-Howard Alliance columns and editorials (some on microfilm), 1928-1935 and 1939-1958. Correspondents include Henry Elmer Barnes, Bernard Baruch, Bruce Bliven, Chester B. Bowles, Charles R. Crane, Louis Fischer, C. Hartley Gratten, Louis M. Hacker, Roy W. Howard, Cordell Hull, Harold L. Ickes, William W. Kiplinger, H. L. Mencken, Frank Murphy, Marie Teresa Norton, Ralph P. Patterson, Ernest T. Pyle, Nelson A. Rockefeller, Carlos P. Romulo, Herbert Bayard Swope, Arthur H. Sulzberger, Jr., Oswald Garrison Villard, and Burton K. Wheeler. The correspondence is supplemented by material on Denny's development as a journalist during the 1920's, articles written for The Nation and The Freeman, a synopsis of an unpublished book on American foreign policy, and correspondence and reviews concerning two published books, We Fight for Oil (1928) and America Conquers Britain: A Record of Economic War (1930). The balance of the collection consists of news clippings, sermons, and miscellany relating to Denny's activities as a Unitarian minister, 1917-1921.
