Thai-Japan Monetary Relations at the Start of the Pacific War

In the wake of their rapid advance into Southeast Asia after 8 December 1941, the Japanese began to implement a new monetary policy in the region to replace the long-established Western financial order that was being swept away. The purpose of this article is to discuss aspects of this monetary policy, in particular how it was carried out in regards to Thailand during the first year of the war, the period during which Thai–Japan wartime relations became established.

The purpose of this article is to discuss aspects of this monetary policy, in particular how it was carried out in regards to Thailand during the first year of the war, the period during which Thai-Japan wartime relations became established. With the outbreak of war the most urgent need of the Japanese in their relations with Thailand was to convert that country into a suitable rear area for their campaign in Malaya and for the one upcoming against Burma. To this end the Japanese and Thai governments signedon 8 December an agreement permitting Japanese forces to pass through Thai territory to attack Malaya; but equally important the agreement also stipulated that Thailand would afford the Japanese forces all necessary convenience for their passage through Thailand. This stipulation was the key that opened the way for the Japanese to pursue their plans towards Thailand. By passage, of course, the Japanese did not simply mean the travel of their army through Thai territory to attack Malaya and later Burma (although superficially this is what was implied).

Soviet Intervention in the War with Japan

considerable attention from politicians and publicists as well as scholars, and the subject continues to hold great interest for a wider audience than is ordinarily available to the academician. The reasons for this interest are not hard to find. They stem, in part, from the controversies aroused by the Yalta Agreement and the decision to use the atomic bomb in 1945. But more funda mentally they reflect a concern over the mounting tensions of the cold war and an effort to find in our wartime relations with the Soviet Union some explanation for the failure to achieve a just settlement and a lasting peace after the greatest war in history. This emphasis on the controversial political aspects of Soviet involvement in the Far Eastern war has blurred somewhat the military and strategic neces sities. At the time, whether rightly or not, these were the most important considerations in the minds of the Allied leaders, and perhaps in the long run they may prove to have been the most decisive. At any rate, it is these, the military factors that governed American relations with the Soviet Union, that I wish to examine here. Russian interest in the Far East long antedated World War II, but in the period following the Revolution the Bolsheviks had been forced to adopt a passive policy in the region while the Japanese took over Manchuria and much of North China and probed Russian defenses along the Siberian border. After 1939, the Japanese shifted their interests to the south, where the crum bling empires of the British, French and Dutch offered tempting opportunities. The Russo-Japanese Neutrality Pact of April 1941 proved a boon for both countries. It encouraged Japan in its plans for southern expansion by assuring Soviet neutrality in case of war with the United States, and it gave Russia similar assurances in the event of a German attack. As George Kennan re marked, the two countries ?one being confronted with great opportunities, the other with great dangers?agreed for the moment on a moratorium in the rivalry over East Asia.1 Two months after the Pact was signed, Hitler loosed the full fury of the Nazi war machine against his former ally. The Japanese, when the Germans struck, kept their side of the bargain. And when they in turn attacked the United States in December, the Russians kept theirs. What ever the reasons, at least each made good on his pledge to the other. Once the United States was in the war, many Americans assumed that the Soviet Union, in common with England and the Associated Powers, would now fight shoulder to shoulder with her Allies against the enemy in Asia as well as in Europe. Notice of this possibility was taken in the press, and on the day after the attack, President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull raised the question with Maxim Litvinov, the Soviet Ambassador. At the same time, General Marshall brought the matter up at a staff conference with

Wartime Public Relations-A Survey

DESPITE THE ASTRONOMICAL GROWTH of business activity during the war, two and two still make four. The same goes for public relations in wartime. During the fall of i943, the writer conducted a survey among men in a position to view the conduct of public relations in wartime. The results of that survey suggested strongly that many business firms were forgetting the basic arithmetic of relations with the public. In the pages which follow, the findings of the survey are spelled out in some detail.' First a word about method. The opinions of thirty strategically placed respondents were solicited on twenty questions. Though respondents were few, their qualifications were high and their answers comprehensive. Eleven fields of endeavor were represented: advertising, business consultants, collegiate business schools, government, journalism, management, public relations, publicity, radio, trade associations, and trade journals. Opinions, to be sure, varied widelyindeed, conflicted occasionally. By and large, however, there was a clear concensus on leading issues. The salient fact about most of the replies can be summed up simply: unsound public relations policies and practices constitute the outstanding aspect of the public relations situation since Pearl Harbor. The fact that the collaborating respondents were blessed with the privilege of hindsight doubtless facilitated the clarity of their observations but hardly affected the validity of them. Now consider the details.
