EMIGRATION & immigration ,RETURN migration ,SOCIAL movements ,REPATRIATION ,SOCIAL psychology - Abstract
The article presents abstracts of various papers related to immigration in Europe that were published in several periodicals. One of the papers discussed is "Planned Indian Immigration: The Role of the High Commissions," by B.A. Chansarkar. This paper offers a critique of some of the existing arrangements for the movement of voucher holders out of India and into Great Britain and makes a number of specific proposals as to how these might be improved, particularly under the aegis of the particular High Commissions concerned. Another paper discussed is "A Shipboard Study of Some British Born Immigrants Returning to the United Kingdom From Australia," by Alan Richardson. The aim of this study is to explore some of the psycho-social determinants of return migration among British born married, male, skilled, manual workers and to compare those who intend to resettle permanently in Great Britain with those who were undecided about resettling there. A tentative conclusion suggested by the results is that permanent' returnees are more likely to be motivated by economic considerations. The undecided returnees, on the other hand, are more likely to be motivated by emotional considerations.

COMMUNISM ,INTERNATIONAL relations - Abstract
This article focuses on the unification of Western Europe. There is no doubt about it that Western Europe is "unified" only by the Atlantic Pact and anti-communism. If there was no united Western Europe, it was the fault of the British Labor Party, which was the most powerful "Third Force" party in Europe and could have taken the lead. Instead, it did nothing about Europe and was concerned only about two things: the success of its economic experiment within Great Britain and its relations with the U.S. Everything now suggests that, far from supporting the Third Force, the U.S. is supporting the right. Yet at least until recently the Labor Party persisted in believing in some invisible leftward trend in the U.S., and thought that real Social Democracy would materialize much sooner in the U.S. than, say, in Italy.

NUCLEAR disarmament ,INTERNATIONAL security ,WAR ,NUCLEAR weapons ,COMMUNISM ,HYDROGEN bomb - Abstract
The article presents information about the usage of nuclear power by Great Britain. After announcing its nuclear power program the government published its White Paper on Defense for 1955, in which the whole of Great Britain's defense policy is based on the use of the hydrogen bomb from the first moment of a major war. The argument is as follows. Given the Communist camp's immense superiority in military manpower, the West cannot withstand an attack in Europe without using the full weight of its nuclear power-it is assumed that the use of tactical atomic weapons must immediately involve the use of the hydrogen bomb. So long as potential aggressors realize that war in any crucial area will be thermonuclear war, the existence of the hydrogen bomb is by far the most effective deterrent.

INTERNATIONAL economic relations ,INTERNATIONAL relations ,COMMERCE ,ECONOMIC policy ,BALANCE of trade ,INTERNATIONAL trade ,ECONOMIC development ,POSTWAR reconstruction - Abstract
The article presents comments on the problems of international economic policy by providing various discussions from specialized conferences. There are two persistent enemies of international commerce. The one is restrictionism, the other discrimination. Great Britain and the United States alike have tried to compromise with both. Neither American protectionism, even as modified by the Hull agreements, nor the system of preferential tariffs, as exemplified in trade treaties among Great Britain and the Dominions, is consistent with international prosperity nor with international friendship. According to one of the economists, for the European continent foreign trade is simply vital for maintaining of decent living possibilities, it is not a question of a degree of economic stability but of the whole economic structure. The postwar balance of trade may be unfavorably affected by the structural changes in the British balance of payments, as Great Britain has been a big surplus importer from the European Continent, supplying it with dollars and other overseas exchanges.

ZOOLOGY - Abstract
The article throws light on the book "Birds of the World, for Young People," by Charles R. Knight and Ella Hardcastle. It presents a brief description of such birds of the world as are usually to be seen in zoological collections and in museums." In fact, almost any museum which really deserves the name will contain many specimens not described in this text. And though the expressed purpose "to give special attention to birds of the U.S., to corresponding species and allied forms found in Great Britain and on the Continent of Europe and to certain of the more remarkable and interesting birds of other continents" is a pretty difficult undertaking, especially within limits of the present volume.

INTERNATIONAL relations ,BOMBINGS - Abstract
With the conquest of Greece, the German Chancellor, Adolf Hitler has achieved three objectives. He has ousted Great Britain from its last toehold on the mainland of Europe, excluding Gibralter; he has rescued his Italian partner from an extremely embarrassing situation; and he has considerably improved the strategic position of the Axis in relation to the vital British base in Egypt. There are, of course, several major obstacles 'to be overcome' before the Germans can strike at Suez with any assurance of success. Between Greece and Alexandria there is a wide stretch of water where the British navy remains dominant, even though its advanced base in Crete is now exposed to bombing attacks.

FASCISM ,INTERNATIONAL relations ,CIVIL war - Abstract
In 1942 civil war could have been avoided. It was still possible to reorient Allied policy so as to secure a democratic victory without obliging the left to launch a new kind of war against fascism as soon as the military war should have ended. The Western Allies did not want it that way. They did not want a victory of the people. So far as the British government was concerned, its attitude was, deliberately counter-revolutionary. On the part of the people of the U.S. it was, rather, a lack of understanding of Europe and a still greater determination to ignore the true character of fascism.

IDEOLOGY ,COMMUNISM - Abstract
This article focuses on the ideological crisis faced by Western Europe, and the threatened disappearance of the so-called Third Force. The "Third Force" has been much discussed as an ideological, a political, and a military concept. There was a time-about three or four years ago when one frequently heard it said that Western Europe, under the inspiration of the Labor Party of Great Britain, would develop a social and ideological system of its own which would be different from both American capitalism and Soviet communism. The military, or geographical, Third Force was the brain-child of French political thinkers. But, long before the signing of the Atlantic Pact, which finally turned Western Europe into part of the American military sphere, this concept of the Third Force went up in smoke.

The article assesses the impact of European industrial relations policy on the industrial system of Great Britain. In terms of organization, there are divisions between trade unions in Europe as there are in Great Britain, but these divisions arise for different reasons and have a different effect. Generally at the heart of the division between British unions is the pursuit of membership. The strength of British unions and their financial health is intrinsically tied up with their ability to recruit and retain their members. Therefore, union security is of major concern. There are three approaches of workers in Europe: reformist, traditional communist, and new revolutionary. The reformist approach is the social democrat approach. The aim is the survival of capitalism but with limitations. It is a cooperative approach aimed at preserving the structure of society. The traditional communist approach aims to change the capitalist system but it increasingly seeks to do this by being integrated into the system so it can be changed from the inside. The revolutionary approach aims at nothing less than overturning existing society and replacing it. It is pure socialism together with anarchy and often appears to be aided by elements from the Christian Democrats, perhaps because of its appeal to certain academics and intelligentsia, high civil servants and students and for reasons already stated. Employers' associations are much more important in collective bargaining in Europe than in Britain. In general, major labor matters are settled either at national level, industry level or regionally by employers' federations and the trade unions.

INTERNATIONAL relations ,REGIONAL cooperation ,BRITISH politics & government - Abstract
The article explores the relationship of Great Britain with Europe since 1945. It particularly looks at the involvement of Britain in the movement for European unity, driven by the needs of defense from the threat posed by the strengthening of the Soviet Union and the possibility of nuclear fission within the region itself. Given the country's weak communication link to the Continental group, the author believes that it will take more years before Britain join fully in the movement for unity.

The article presents a discussion about the spread of the British flora existing from late-glacial period. The article aims to identify which plant species survived the last Ice Age era by examining evidence from the late-glacial condition in north-west Europe such as fruits, seeds, pollen grains, flora, and fauna. It is noted that after such condition, tree-less tundra appeared due to the commencement of ice in regions such Denmark, Sweden, and Germany. An examination was conducted on plants, fossils, habitats, climate, and soil which resulted to the identification of several species widely existing beyond their present-day area in Great Britain like the Polenium, Teucrium scordium, and Dryas octopetala.

WAR ,SOCIAL movements ,OPERA ,PRACTICAL politics - Abstract
In this article the author takes a full view of the panorama of events that arose in Europe after the Boer War. The Entente Cordiale was regarded by many Europeans as a pitiful confession of Great Britain's weakness. However, it should not be considered an agreement shaped by the administrations. For, in France King Edward VII was acclaimed the author of it. This the author may assert without fear of contradiction, for much of his life at the beginning of the century was spent among men of great influence in the political parties of Great Britain and France. In 1900 the author became stage director of the Royal Opera, which position gave me many chances of hearing what was said in high social circles about the politics of the day. It is true many of these people knew the author was labeled a pro-Boer, but somehow, in my case, that did not seem to Concern them much, for they were chiefly interested in my work behind the curtain and the part the author played in the then promising movement for a national opera.

SOCIALISM ,INDUSTRIAL procurement ,WAR ,REVOLUTIONS - Abstract
The article reports that isolated for centuries between two oceans, the American people are now abruptly compelled to find their way in a new and strange world shaken by social and economic revolution. Leftward trends in Europe and Asia make evident the impossibility of return to pre-war conditions; while, more particularly, the marked reaction in Great Britain against the ancient regime of Toryism suggests that the Anglo-Saxon peoples are not likely to cooperate in restoring the economic patterns of the past. But the economic relation between Britain and America is more intimate than the relation of either to any third power; and therefore the American people must now readjust themselves to conditions obtaining in the mothercountry. The pressure for a new orientation is the more compelling in view of the financial assistance which Great Britain obviously needs. No academic argument should stand in the way of such aid. The long-drawn-out socialist program is intended to give the general public a title to all the industrial equipment of Britain. And since "industrial equipment" is only another term for productive machinery, the central issue between socialists and their opponents appears to be the simple question whether machines ought to be owned by private individuals or by the State.

INTERNATIONAL communication ,RADIO broadcasting ,FREEDOM of information ,MASS media ,PUBLIC opinion - Abstract
This article summarizes leading events, situations and research in the various fields of communications that particularly concern problems of public opinion formation and control. The period covered extends from July 1940 to September 1940. With the advent of war over Great Britain a new phase of international communication was introduced, which featured the newest and oldest methods of news transmission. London occupied the center of world news interest throughout the period in focus. Communications between the U.S. and Russia and Asia remained relatively free from technical disturbances but were vitally affected by increasing censorship. American broadcasting companies maintained their services from Europe during the quarter. There was a growing volume of criticism of press control in Great Britain. In many parts of the world, official censorship of communications passed over into more active measures of control. Short-wave broadcasting by foreign stations was affected by the war almost as much as other forms of news transmission.

50. THE MIGRATION OF BRITISH CITIZENS BETWEEN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND EUROPE.

EMIGRATION & immigration ,IMMIGRANTS ,TRAVEL ,SOCIOLOGY - Abstract
This article focuses on the migration of British citizens between Great Britain and Europe, from 1924 to 1934. In each year of the span, more British nationals arrived in Great Britain from Europe than embarked for Europe. When British nationals arrive from Europe it is impossible to distinguish between those who were initially in Europe and those who merely traveled via Europe from, say, India, Australia, or New Zealand. Similarly the passengers from Great Britain to Europe include a number who do not finish their journey in Europe, but go forward to countries outside Europe. In order to determine the true migration of nationals between Europe and Great Britain, it is therefore first necessary to find out how many nationals passed through Europe each year when traveling between Great Britain and countries outside Europe. In 1921 the number of British passengers embarking from Great Britain direct to non-European countries was 268,300. Of these, 199,500 were classed as migrants and so changed their permanent residence. The other 68,800 nationals were therefore not changing their permanent residence, but had simply been visitors. Thus, of the 77,900 nationals visiting Great Britain from non-European countries in 1921, only 68,000 sailed direct to non European countries.
