The Causes of U.S. Bank Expansion Overseas: The Case of Great Britain

IN RECENT YEARS there has been a rapid increase in the activity of American banks outside the borders of the United States. This growth of foreign business has been far greater than that of domestic business. For example, while total assets of all U.S. commercial banks grew from $255.7 billion in 1960 to $1,486 billion in 1978, the total assets of overseas branches rose from $3.5 billion to $306 billion over the same period. Paralleling this growth was the increase in the number of overseas branches and subsidiaries from 131 in 1960 to 1,433 in 1978.1 Although the growth of new international markets (such as the Eurodollar market) that have arisen with the international expansion of commercial banking has been extensively investigated, little attention has been paid to the motivating factors underlying overseas bank expansion. This paper proposes to fill this gap in the literature by examining the factors affecting the expansion of U.S. banks into Great Britain, a country that has, so far, been the most important area for overseas business.2 International expansion of banking may be affected by both economic and regu-

Rapid expansion of overseas banking

Since the mid-sixties the expansion of the overseas banking system of American banks accelerated. New impulses will be generated by the “petroldollars” of the oil producing countries which will most likely be handled by the overseas branches.

Goebbels' Principles of Propaganda

FOR almost a dozen years German Propaganda Minister Goebbels was recognized as a master of his trade by those who fought and by those who acclaimed the Nazi state. This article, based on both the published and unpublished portions of Goebbels' diary, summarizes the major propaganda principles which he followed. The author, who served as Policy Coordinator of the Overseas Branch of the Office of War Information during World War II, is Professor of Psychology at Yale University.

The Utilization of Social Scientists in the Overseas Branch of the Office of War Information

Many social scientists employed by the government or in the armed services during the war found their research and scientific wisdom not eagerly accepted, wisely interpreted, or sensibly followed by policy-makers. Unlike some of the old-line departments, the war agencies had no established procedure for utilizing social science. Social scientists had a place on the ever-changing organization charts, sometimes merely because it was somewhat vaguely felt that all kinds of brains, even academic, were necessary to win a total war. Often they had to carve out for themselves the specific rôles they wished to play. They functioned, not in accordance with the charts, but within what Mansfield and Marx call informal organizations of their own making.In many situations, there was a discrepancy between what social scientists thought they could do and what the policy-makers were prepared to let them do. Some sought deliberately to bridge the gap by promoting and marketing their disciplines and themselves. Like their colleagues in the natural sciences, they wished to be consulted when problems involving their own expertness were involved.The informal techniques that social scientists employed in behalf of social science and themselves are worth recording because certainly similar ones must often be utilized whenever social scientist meets policy-maker. They should be mentioned to any social scientist about to enter government service, so that he can at least be aware of the problem and more easily survive the initial period of disillusionment and misery. They belong, it seems, within the purview of the student of public administration.

OWI-Organization and Problems

ADMINISTRATIVE organizations are never static in wartime. Since this article was written, a number of important changes have been made in both the domestic and overseas branches of OWI. Staff Orders 14 and 15 have already effected, or will effect, a radical revision of some of the organizational details herein described. Without enumerating specific changes, the broad outlines of the new developments are as follows: Staff Order 14, as issued on February 19 and supplemented on March 11, (1) regionalizes policy formulation and decisions in the Overseas Branch under seven division chiefs for specific target areas: (2) establishes an Overseas Bureau of Research and Analysis to assume and expand the functions of the Central Intelligence Panel: (3) locates all policy and intelligence activities in Washington, leaving only the operating bureaus in New York. Staff Order 15, dated March 9, abolishes the Bureau of Intelligence in the Domestic Branch, while providing for maintenance of some of its functions elsewhere in the Branch. The Bureaus of Publications, Graphics, and Special Operations are likewise discontinued but most of their functions will remain. The following new bureaus were created: Publications, Graphics and Printing, Special Services, and Field Operations. Dr. Pettee was instructor in Government at Harvard until 1941; then served for a time with OPM and WPB; and since June 1942 has been Chief of the Sources Division of the Bureau of Intelligence in OWI. Mr. Hawkins, a former Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Guardian, is an assistant to Dr. Pettee in the Sources Division.

Institute of Physics

THE annual report of the Institute of Physics for the year 1937, which has just been published, shows that its membership continues to increase in a most satisfactory way. It was just over a thousand at the end of the year, and is now considered to be representative of British physicists both at home and overseas. The most important activity of the Institute during the year covered by the report was the Second Conference on Industrial Physics held in the University of Birmingham in March 1937, the subject being “Optical Devices in Research and Industry”(see NATURE of April 3, 1937, p. 600). The various branches of the Institute in Great Britain held a number of meetings during the year and the committees of the overseas branches did valuable work in various ways. The report states that there was a further increase in the number of vacancies for physicists of which the Institute was notified, the figure being 197 for the year. Some vacancies for laboratory assistants were filled from among those holding the Institute's certificate in laboratory arts. The report states that the scope of the Journal of Scientific Instruments, which is produced by the Institute in co-operation with the National Physical Laboratory, has been enlarged to include items dealing with the applications of physics to industry.
