Description
CHESTER BOWLES (1901-1986). Chester Bliss Bowles was an American diplomat, ambassador, governor of Connecticut, congressman, and co-founder of a major advertising agency, Benton & Bowles. During World War II, Bowles was in control of setting consumer prices as director of the Office of Price Administration and later became chief of the Office of Economic Stabilization. He served as ambassador to India, establishing a good relationship with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Bowles is best known for his influence on Cold War American foreign policy, arguing that economic assistance to the Third World was the best means to fight communism, and even more importantly, creating a more peaceable world order.Archive. An archive of mimeographed letters and journal entries from Chester Bowles depicting his time stationed in India. These were mailed to the friends of the Bowles to update them on their adventures in India. All the letters are in good condition.a) L. 1pg. July 29, 1952. India. A letter from Chester Bowles addressed to his friends. An excerpt reads, One can see a great deal of Indian life as the train goes slowly through the countryside and during the long stops in stations where all the daily routines of the travellers take place. People wait many hours in stations and even days sometimes. Frequently they have all their few belongings with them, and more or less camp in the stations or on the station platforms. In this letter, Bowles details his travels by train in India, describing two young university girls, an older woman with her granddaughter, and a rude English woman with whom he interacted with. He also writes about how passengers can buy food from the sellers that come by the train windows. b) D. 1pg. October 29, 1951. Delhi, India. A journal entry from Chester Bowles. Then came a man with imagination, a brain for creative planning and a self-less devotion to the new India. On the practical side he is the product of sound training in British Universities and experience in India's greatest industry - the Tata enterprise which makes most of India's steel. The central motivation however comes from close association with Mahatma Gandhi who during the time of transfer of responsibility to the new government put great trust in this young man. This entry describes a visit to the newly established town of Faridabad, located about 17 miles south of Delhi, which was built to resettle refugees following the Partition of India. Bowles notes that 20 months prior, the area was empty plain. It was soon transformed into a tent colony of 20,000 displaced shopkeepers from the Northwest Provinces who were entirely dependent on government doles and lacked a clear vision for the future. A resettlement and development project was spearheaded by a man inspired by his close association with Mahatma Gandhi. To ensure permanent income for the town, an industrial area was simultaneously developed. This document is in very good condition.c) L. 1pg. November 21, 1951. New Delhi, India. A letter written by Chest Bowles comparing Old Delhi to New Delhi. One sees this some variety of transportation right in the city of New Delhi which, of course, is a modern city planned and built about thirty years ago to be the capital and government headquarters in India. The streets are wide and well paved and in many respects reminds one of the city of Washington, particularly the area around the Parliament and government buildings. But even here on the streets of this modern city the camels proceed, the bullock carts amble along, thousands of people on bicycles go back and forth to work, and combined with all this are a good number of modern cars and busses. Old Delhi adjoins New Delhi and there in Old Delhi the streets are narrow and winding and it is all one can do to make headway through the traffic. The noise does not sound at all like the noise of our cities as there is much shouting; street sellers frequently play some musical instrument to announce themselves; many of the wagons and carts have bells on them; and it all adds up to a wonderful confused noise. In addition to this, Bowles describes the beautiful New Delhi weather, the brightly colored birds, his trips ten miles outside of Delhi, and the stalls along the street.d) L. 1pg. N. d. New Delhi, India. A letter written by Chester Bowles describing his trip to Agra. The paved part of the road is only wide enough for one car or one bullock cart or one came cart or what have you. There are not many cars on the road but there are a great many other vehicles and many people, dogs, monkeys and other animals. Here in India everyone seems to play an Indian version of the game called Chicken which is played on three lane highways in the United States. In addition to the stress of driving on roads in India, Bowles describes the beautiful sights of villages, usually including mud huts, one well, a water hollow for bathing. He also details Etawah, an area of about 200 villages which is undergoing a project that conducts experiments in agriculture, increasing agricultural production and developing social life, community activities, and improving health and education standards.
