In proceedings at Washington between November, 1921, and February, 1922, of the Conference on Limitation of Armaments and Pacific and Far Eastern Problems there was established a "moral trusteeship" over the Soviet Union, including Siberia. Siberia was, it is true, left under occupation by alien invading troops, but that was considered a minor matter in view of the larger aspects of the moral trusteeship. A little direct evidence comes to hand. Far Eastern papers bring news of an incident that throws much light on affairs in Siberia while Siberia was being discussed at the Conference.

PUBLIC opinion ,HEADLINES ,AMERICAN newspapers ,REPORTERS & reporting - Abstract
This article attempts to analyze American public opinion on the Far East. According to the author's research, among American newspapers there is very little interest in news coming from the Far East. This situation accounts for the fact that the American press does not follow developments in the Far East as closely as those in Europe. There have been times, however, when three-inch headlines referring to events in the Far East have aroused a very considerable amount of interest in the U.S. During the Manchurian crisis of 1930-31, when the threat of a great Pacific war with the United States as a party was imminent, the American public necessarily became interested in what was going on. When the crisis downed and the situation became quiet again, the interest waned. Further the research indicates that apart from the general interest of the newspaper reading public there is the special interest of several political or professional groups whose knowledge is fed by special newspapers.

MEETINGS ,SPECIALISTS - Abstract
From time to time since the opening of the Conference it has been proclaimed in plenary sessions or in official communiqués that a great victory had been won for China. From time to time the papers have recorded that "this was an historic day for China." An impression has been created in the minds of all but Far Eastern specialists that something really has been done to remove the causes of international friction in the Far East. As a matter of fact what has been done in the concrete would not have warranted more than the summoning of second secretaries of legation to a meeting in Tientsin, Yokohama, or San Francisco.

It is good that the public is taking a keen if belated interest in the activities of the international armament ring during and between wars. The story of young men being killed with guns made by their fellow-countrymen and sold to the enemy at a profit to munitions makers has not grown less sordid with the years. It becomes peculiarly relevant to American young men, any one of whom faces the fantastic but real possibility of being killed in the Far East by a bit of shrapnel that was originally part of his mother's kitchen stove. It is hoped the Senate committee's investigation of the munitions racket will be thorough. The chairman of the committee, in a recent speech cited figures for various companies showing the difference between their profits in peace and in war.

This article presents the concluding chapters of an official history of Japanese intervention published by the Special Delegation of the Far Eastern Republic to the United States. Soon after the conference of the toiling people had elected the Government of Verkhne-Udinsk, in East Siberia, it was recognized by the Government of the Amur Province as the central government for the entire Far East. Afraid that the Maritime Government which had been recognized as the provisional government, might also extend its recognition to the Government of Verkhne-Udinsk as a central government, the Japanese began to exert on it an incessant pressure, not even stopping at threats. At the same time the Japanese also began to coquet with the Maritime Government, declaring it to be the only truly democratic government, and that Japan would recognize it if it would place itself at the head of al the provincial governments.

If only to recapture lost prestige in its colonial possessions England must win a war. But hat is not the sole reason. The conquest of Ethiopia has only whetted Mussolini's appetite. Both to England and to Italy control of the Mediterranean is important more as a means than as an end in itself. The Mediterranean has again become what it was in the Middle Ages, the center of the world developments in air transportation since the World War have greatly enhanced its importance. The air route from France and England to the Far East and India is over the Mediterranean.

In all the churches of the Western World, what used to be called the Christian Social Movement, has now come to a dead end, and its leaders, themselves announcing and lamenting this fact, are casting round to find the way out of it. They would not do this if they did not believe that there was such a way, or, conversely, if they thought that their work was finished and done. Significantly, this is not true of their daughter churches in the underdeveloped parts of the world, for there, particularly in India and all over the Far East and in much of Africa, the Christian Social Movement is still in its pioneering stage.

Comparative community study of local politics in two communities in the Far West in 1953-1954 affords an opportunity to examine the nature of, and relationships between, the political parties in the community, the informal Republican organization of Main Street, and the local power structure. None of the recently reported community power structure studies has focussed upon the question of whether there may be important relationships between the local power structure and partisan behavior. Local elections are legally non-partisan in Valley City, a small retail trading center of about 2,000 adults, as well as in Boomtown, a rapidly growing industrial community of about 16,000 population. In each community self-identified numbered self-identified Republicans but the Republicans have been consistently more successful in state and national elections in Valley City than in Boomtown. In both communities the partisan atmosphere on Main Street was predominantly Republican, although much more so in Valley City than in Boomtown.

ECONOMIC conditions in East Asia ,ECONOMIC history ,ECONOMIC development ,ECONOMIC policy ,FINANCE ,NATIONAL income ,COST of living - Abstract
Professor C.F. Remer of University of Michigan refers to a matter of the utmost importance; namely, that economic development in the Far East must be considered in its political and social environment. In emphasizing this view, attention is given somewhat more specifically to the interrelations between economic and political and social factors. Economists interested in foreign economic development must be concerned not merely with the political and social setting within which such matters as changes in the standard of living and national income are determined, but with the influence of these changes on political and social organization. In the case of a country such as China, economists may hope for the accomplishment of three major objectives: the achievement of a rising national income; an increase in the standard of living of people generally and the establishment of economic conditions which will contribute internally toward democracy and social unity, and externally toward international collaboration.

The article focuses on the economic consequences of World War II on East Asian countries. The war introduced a large number of structural and economic changes in the economies of the Far Eastern countries including Australia, Japan, and Malaya. The region has experienced changes in the distribution of industrial capacity and output, dislocation in the production pattern of agriculture and raw materials, dislocation of trade, migration, changes in labor supply, and disorganization of public fiances during the war. It is noted that these changes should be considered by economists while conducting an economic analysis of these countries.

INTERNATIONAL economic relations ,INTERNATIONAL trade ,ECONOMIC conditions in Asia ,ECONOMIC stabilization ,INTERNATIONAL markets ,POSTWAR reconstruction - Abstract
The article focuses on the postwar trade relations in the Far East. This is a difficult issue to discuss. The entire Far East, excepting the Soviet Far East, Free China, a part of Burma and New Guinea, is blanketed under enemy control. Far less information escapes through the blockade and censorship surrounding the Japanese-controlled Far East than leaks out Nazi Europe by one means or another. Moreover, in projecting the economic future of the Far East, economists are up against political imponderables that are difficult for a Westerner to evaluate. Problems of the Far East are linked with the general problems of world security and economic stability. In an expanding world economy, China may secure the foreign capital goods, which she will require; and Japan the overseas markets, which will be essential to her postwar recovery. The spirit and character of the initial measures of rehabilitation taken by the United Nations after the war, and the larger framework of reconstruction into which they develop will tend to set the mold within which will develop the future economic relations of the Far East.

Most of the former colonies such as India and Pakistan have slowly reclaimed their independence. On the other hand, the Far East comprised of Japan, China and Korea, were not one of the British colonies but were vital to British commercial interests.

As stated, the OPM has produced a list of 29 items in which consumption of the metal is halved for the first quarter of 1942 and it is believed that the elimination of such uses of tin will result in an annual saving of 15,000 tons.

POLITICAL leadership ,GUERRILLAS ,NATIONAL liberation movements - Abstract
The latest "White drive," against the Far Eastern Republic, which so far has resulted in the capture of Khabarovsk, was not as unexpected in the Far East as was the news when it reached the United States. The Russian newspapers in the Far East during the earlier part of December are full of information showing that the drive was being prepared and organized under the auspices of Japan. It seems that the Japanese sought an engagement in battle with the Red partisans in order to gain an excuse for continuing the policy of intervention in the Russian Far East. This aim has not been attained so far owing to the fact that the political leaders of the partisans instructed their men to avoid active hostilities against the Japanese.

The article focuses on a letter Charles Stewart Addis to the Morning Post (London) of October 9 which was sent by the British Library of Information (New York).

Addis does not propose here to discuss the spirit animating Russell's article on British Imperialism in China, in the New Leader, of September 19. His purpose is rather to test, by an examination of the facts on which he relies, the competence of Mr. Russell to pass judgment on the objects and methods of British policy in the Far East.
