Student Radicals in Japan

The radical movement among Japanese students was brought to wide public attention with an airplane hijack ing in 1970, but the escalation of student radicalism had begun a decade ago with the discussion of the U.S.—Japan Security Treaty. Political matters have formed the basis for many of the radical actions by students since then, especially from 1967 on, when the international situation in Red China, Vietnam, and North Korea became strained. But academic issues have also played a large part in the uprisings, as stu dents have become disturbed by rising costs, entrance exami nations, or the rigid hierarchy in the elite schools. The generations are perceived chronologically according to the his toric watershed, the Second World War. Paradoxically, al though the older generation is, in this consumer society, in charge of production, the young comprise its biggest customer group. While the status of youth as a whole has risen, that of the university student has declined. Students form the only proletariat and at the same time the only leisure class in contemporary society. Disillusioned by both the education and the life style offered them, they search for a cause to which they can commit themselves, and often find it in radicalism.

Attitude Research for Intercultural Communication and Interaction

The attitude data available on foreign groups are generally not enough for reconstructing their perception of a theme or problem. Attitude data show, for instance, whether a foreign group is for or against socialism, but they will not reveal whether the members of the group use the word socialism to refer to democracy or to communism, nor whether they identify it with Sweden or Red China, etc. The Associative Group Analysis technique (AGA)-which relies on the comparative analysis of free verbal associations produced by samples of people from the investigator's own and his target culture-offers attitude data as well as data on denotative, referential meanings. An associationbased attitude index has shown as a group measure high positive correlation with the criterion measures of the Semantic Differential evaluation scales and an attitude questionnaire. A second method of analysis focusing on the denotative, referential meaning was applied to universally approved value concepts: freedom, equality, etc. U.S. and Korean groups (N = 50) were tested, and the analysis has shown a variety of different culturally specific denotative components. The findings support Sapir's observation about the deceptive nature of certain universally approved “labels” to which various people attach different interpretations.

Mass Communication and Media in China's Cultural Revolution

The thesis is advanced by a distinguished Red China scholar that the elevation of radio as a prime mobilization tool and the decimation of other media resulted from conflict among the factors of personality, modernization and power.

Economic and Political Aspects of Development in Brazil—and U.S. Aid

To say that the Brazilian scene has been volatile—politically and economically—during the past ten years is to risk an understatement. A mere listing of the presidents of Brazil during this limited period illustrates the point. It begins with the enormously popular— then and now—Juscelino Kubitschek, who represented the industrialization of Brazil and the move away from the coast with the decision to create a new capital in Brasilia. Then, the overwhelming electoral victory of Jânio Quadros—the enigma of Brazilian politics who had been such a successful Mayor and Governor of São Paulo only to resign the presidency after six months for reasons that still remain unclear today. Next came the then Vice President João Goulart, who was visiting Red China when he heard he was to become President. Although his powers were curtailed before he was allowed to take office, he served long enough to create an impression of corruption and leftward drift and the reality of almost runaway inflation—factors which led to the revolution of March, 1964, and the administration of Marshal Castello Branco.

Dean Acheson and the Korean War

Until about time of Inchon landing announced purpose of United States intervention in Korea was to punish aggressor and bring about a restoration of independence of South Korea. This was entirely consistent with prudent policy which administration had previously adopted with regard to Red China. Dean Acheson had made it premise of his Far Eastern policy that there was more likelihood of conflict in long-run interests of China and Soviet Union than between China and United States. On basis of that premise Acheson had fought for eighteen months to disentangle United States from Chiang Kai-shek's regime on Formosa, and scrupulously to refrain from appearing to thwart ambition of Communist government in Peking to achieve the political independence and territorial integrity of all of China. Even after North Korean attack on South Korea Acheson took lead within administration in opposing any action that might bring on a war with Red China or Soviet Union. Having initially declared that United Nations were fighting in Korea solely for purpose of restoring Republic of Korea to its status prior to invasion of north,' and having con-

新しいU.S. AEC濃縮ウラン価格表

U.S. AEC has recently revised its standard table of enriching services. The new schedule of base charges for enriched and depleted uranium in the form of UF6 can be computed according to formulas in the theory of ideal cascade on the basis of taking natural uranium having on assay of 0.711w/0 235U as having a zero separative work component and on the basis of a tails assay of 0.20w/0 235U. No optimization of the size of stripping section is made in the schedule.An estimate of separative work costs and capacities of enriching facilities in UK, France and Red China is formed.

On Group Techniques for Attitude Change and Thought Reform

Many group techniques are used in attitude change, conversion, and thought reform. In attitude change, group discussion, organizational change, sensibility training group, role playing, psychodrama, sociodrama, and group psychotherapy used. As for conversion, we will take up as example the case of Sokagakkai, a sect of Buddism in Japan. The ardent believers combine in small groups on the first front line in the conversing campaign of the religious organization. In thought reform or “Culture Revolution” of the Red China, various forms of group techniques are found : such as learning movement, thought reform, rectification movement, etc. We can point out that these methods have affinities and differentials with each other. As for affinities on each side, small group method is used to bring up an attitude and behavior change. The mechanism of attitude change in group, which works on these fields, tends to enlarge ego-involvement of group members. Consequently, group members become to comformity to the norm, of the membership group, or the change of the norm of membership group accompany with the attitude and behavior change of group members. As for differentials, we will try to compare between the group techniques of the behavior sciences and those used in the Red China. The differentials may be summarised as follows : (1) The former aims at a partial change of an attitude or behavior, or one's modus operandi so to speak, whereas the latter is marked with the reform of ideology, or modus vivendi of one's whole existence. (2) Although both of them have orientation to the support of their social system, the former's direct interest is almost purely limited to the practice of democracy on group dimension, while the latter's ideal is the realization of democracy in the group for the revolution of the nation wide social dimension. (3) Accordingly, the former aims at “the making spontaneity and creativity” in the culture as a common donominator. In the latter, the cause of mistakes, (wrong deeds), done in the past should be abolished and people should be awakend by class consciousness, the people's real “independence making up.”(4) In the latter, the people takes a part of the propelling power and the source of energy of the revolution comes from the people of pre-lower socio-economic status, e.g., the poorer and lower middle class peasants, and proletarian workers. They expect the security of mind and the rise of their social status by the reform of the social consciousness and group organization. But in the former, the security of mind is only hoped for, and not immediately aimed at. (5) From the standpoint of the typology of groups, the groups in the former are generally temporary or functional ones. In the latter, the groups are the basic and primary units of the whole society, and are characterized by the production and daily life.

The Formosa Tangle: A Formosan's View

The tangle on Formosa was first created by the fact that Peking was determined to liberate Formosa yet unable to do so. It is the Red Chinese awareness that in the absence of sufficient military strength to overcome the United States, which has committed itself to the defense of Formosa, force alone cannot secure the island. Although the Red Chinese have consistently rejected American proposals for immediate renunciation of force in the Formosa Strait, they have been pursuing the policy cautiously, without direct military confrontation with the United States. They probably know that such a clash might spread quickly to the mainland to pave the way for total destruction of the Red Chinese regime. Since the Bandung Conference in 1955, Red China no longer considers force to be the most effective possible means of securing the island. Much effort has been directed to the accomplishment of through diplomacy and propaganda. The basic conception behind the policy of liberation through diplomacy is to prevent the Formosan question from becoming an international issue. In rejecting the American proposal to renounce the use of force in the Taiwan area, the Chinese Ambassador at Geneva talks declared:

The Cultural Revolution in China

The extraordinary events of recent months in China have not unnaturally given rise to diverse interpretations, hopes, and fears. Fortune magazine, for example, headlines its cover story in the November issue, "Beset by failures, an aging Mao Tse-tung lashes out to save RED CHINA'S SINKING REVOLUTION," Both diagnosis and prognosis clearly reveal American capitalism's hopes and its increasingly insatiable appetite for new "responsibilities."This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
