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.

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.

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.
