Armed Challenges to the Philippine Government: Protracted War or Political Settlement?

Moral Education in Japan

Abstract In spite of the officially secular character of public institutional life, including education, religion is a pervasive undercurrent which affects moral education, both at home and in school. In different ways Buddhism, Shinto, Confucian traditions and new religious movements (including Christian elements) are all influential. The nationalist emphasis, which became prominent in the period 1872‐1945, was replaced by a deliberately secular social studies or citizenship in keeping with the spirit of the war settlement. Latterly patriotic features have been re‐introduced alongside a stated priority for international understanding. Significantly, however, Western thought is nominated alongside Buddhism and Confucianism in government decrees on the curriculum as now integral to Japanese tradition.

A Settlement of Sorts: Henry Kissinger's Negotiations and America's Extrication from Vietnam

The negotiated settlement of the Vietnam war was, in essence, a way of re‐adjusting the role of the United States in Vietnam. Stated in its baldest terms, the settlement was an agreement by both sides to suspend hostilities until the U.S. could extricate itself, allowing a “decent interval” wherein its “commitment” to the Saigon government would wither away, while concern for prestige and credibility would not compel it to re‐intervene. Thus the core of the agreement was a tradeoff of concessions; the North Vietnamese agreed to a provisional settlement of military matters, while the United States dropped its insistence that North Vietnamese troops withdraw from the South. Provisions for a subsequent political settlement between the parties were purposely left vague, as were sanctions for non‐compliance with the spirit and letter of the agreements. The clear implication is that the possibility of renewed warfare after the U.S. withdrawal, and in the event of a breakdown of any progress toward a political settlement, was tacitly accepted by all sides.

Petroleum Developments in Central and Southern Africa in 1970

This review includes data from 45 African countries excluding Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, U.A.R., and Sudan. Total annual production increased 88% from 1969 to 471,325,018 bbl for an average rate of 1,291,301 b/d. Production in Nigeria increased 101% from 1969 to 395,840,789 bbl for an average rate of 1,084,495 b/d. This increase was the result of the settlement of the civil war and the addition of new producing areas. Production in Angola increased slightly more than 100% for an average daily rate of 97,567 bbl. Gabon production increased approximately 8% from 1969, whereas Congo (Brazzaville) decreased about 22% from the 1969 production. Exploration drilling increased from 1969 with a total of 135 wildcat wells drilled for a success of 17%. Discoveries were made in Angola (7 oil, 2 gas), Congo (Kinshasa) (1), Ghana (1), and Nigeria (11). Unsuccessful exploration wells were drilled in Cameroun, Congo (Brazzaville), Dahomey, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, Malagasy Republic, Mauritania, Mozambique, Senegal, South West Africa, Spanish Sahara, and Togo. In Nigeria, Angola, Gabon, and Congo (Brazzaville), 1969 development wells were drilled for an 80% success. Footage drilled during 1970 increased to a total of 2,560,447 ft (779,415 m). As of December 31, 1970, 37 rigs were operating. Party-months of surface exploration were: surface geology, 46.5; seismograph, 263.39; gravimeter, 6.0; magnetometer, 14.0; photogeology, 17.75; geochemical, 6.0; structural drilling, 5.0; total, 382.84.

Federal-State Financial Relations, 1790–1860

Financial relationships between the federal government and the states were a critical matter in the founding and early operations of the federal government under the Constitution, with the settlement of the Revolutionary War debt the object of chief concern. When the debt was ultimately secured, other matters arose to keep funds passing from one level of government to another. Some of these were of major political importance, while others involving substantial sums made little political impact, being less controversial.

Are Politics Moral?

T nHE distance between the prongs of dilemmatic horns increases the farther they are projected from the substance in which they take root. In a discussion of Political Morality in this Journal (October, I938) Professor Arthur Liebert projected the alternatives of human activity so far that a real dilemma was created thereby; the horn upon which he pinned himself appears hardly less deadly than that which he avoided. Man indeed faces an unpromising future if, in his dissatisfaction with the inept platitudes of responsibility, self-determination, and of freedom, he has no choice but to turn to a rigidly deterministic which finds its sources exclusively in considerations and deferences. This dichotomy of political determination versus self-determination seems to me a very questionable disjunction of the factors of human activity. In the first place it is a much too simple statement of the complex problem of individual activity and social organization. That the rigidity of totalitarian structure should afford the only possible alternative to the insufficiencies evidenced by crass individualism appears an arbitrary limitation of the possibilities of human activity and organization. That the intelligence of man should find itself forced to choose between a liberty which is stupid license and a security which is irrational determination-that is to render trivial all the factors of activity, organization, and intelligence. Such rigid alternatives are possible only at the emotional level of discourse, and the emotional or ideological level appears to be common to discussions of liberalism versus totalitarianism. I hold no brief for totalitarian governments; most of us would have little difficulty in matching Professor Liebert's antipathies, hate for hate; but I seriously question that the emotionalism of liberal attitudes of defense will be conducive to any other clarification than the questionable settlement of war, the final diremption of ideological emotionalism. As a matter of fact, it appears that liberalism is beating with its own symbols the very chant of the dictators, but with so much clatter and confusion that the tune is well-nigh drowned in the accompaniment. Professor Liebert contends that totalitarian governments have subordinated morality to politics, whereas it is his belief that moral values can be maintained only if politics are subordinated to morality. The terminology in which this argument is cast is confusing; what Professor Liebert apparently intends is that certain social movements are expressive of a kind of morality which is not consistent with the principles of personal ideal-
