An analysis of some of the terms of discourse of war and peace leads the author, Associate Scientist at Technical Operations, Inc., Washington, D.C., to suggest that both the USA and USSR are too technocratic to know how to subject arms problems to policy science and political wisdom.

It was a brave crew of muckrakers who followed John S. Phillips from the offices of McClure's to the American in 1906. The author, a University of North Carolina history professor, traces the melancholy story of the magazine's decline and its passing into the hands of owners who put profits first.

In his first paper L. SECHREST compares fear of humiliation and management of hostile affects in the Philippines and in the United States and discusses their relation to manifest psychopathology. A second paper by the same author compares public lavatory writings of Filipino and American males, and their implications with respect to homosexuality.

The author, a member of the department of history at New York University, offers a survey of U.S. press reactions to Russia at the opening of the Crimean War, explaining the heavily anti-Russian spirit of American newspapers at a time of great public sympathy for Russia as she faced England in war.

SummaryResearch on Part‐Time Farming in the United StatesPart‐time farming has gradually increased in the United States since the beginning of the industrialization and urbanization trends. At the present time about one‐fourth of all farms are classed as part‐time operations. The paper discusses the question and continuing problem of the definition of part‐time farming, gives the conclusions of some studies of individual motivation leading to part‐time farming, attempts to make a classification of part‐time farmers according to the characteristic of the off‐farm work opportunities available to them, and finally gives attention to the types of career patterns of part‐time farmers.After the search of literature the author makes clear that many questions related to part‐time farming remain unsolved. Little is known about the impact on agricultural adjustment and the implications for changing social organization. The author expects that part‐time farming will remain an important activity in the future.

Considering one reference level surface, not external to the topographical earth surface, which contains an equal mass and turns round the same axis of rotation, the author proves the two fundamental equations of the dynamical geodesy (boundary conditions satisfied for the disturbing potential) valuable to the linear approximation for the distances between the two surfaces, respectively for the continental and ocean parts of the topographical earth surface.
Then, the integral equation is obtained, which gives the disturbing potential. Taking into account the boundary conditions, it is possible to get the local distance between the two surfaces in function of the values either global or regional of the measured gravity, the theoretical gravity and the vertical gradient of the theoretical gravity, by means of an integral equation.
For the case where the reference surface is partly external to the topographical surface, the author introduces an external level surface and gives two integral equations to solve the problem regionally.

It Is hardly surprising that the play Der Stellvertreter (The Deputy) by the young German author Rolf Hochhuth should have aroused controversy ever since its first performance in February, 1963, in Berlin. For it aims to depict not merely historical characters in a fictional drama, but historical characters in a historical setting of almost unprecedented significance and consequence. The use of the drama as a vehicle for political attack is nothing new; but it is rare for the author to append, in the published version of his text, a historical essay of forty pages, seeking to give the evidence upon which his drama is based. Nor is it surprising that so pejorative is the portrayal in the play of the late Pope Pius XII that many of those who served under him during the nineteen years of his pontificate, as well as many others who came in touch with him through his literally thousands of private or public audiences, have sought to come to his defense, in challenging the historical accuracy of Hochhuth's portrayal.

Group effects, pre-disposition of the players and capability of the game administrator are investigated as factors accounting for the differential impact of simulation games. The author received his B.A. from Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and his Ph.D. in social relations from Johns Hopkins; he is now Assistant Professor in Sociology at the University of Michigan.

Professor Kling of Washington University in St. Louis reviews the history, accomplishments, and future of comparative political research on Latin America. What scholars choose to study and how they go at it are described. Real progress in Latin American studies, says the author, depends on blending the traditional and modern versions of area studies.

This paper was first presented by Academician Natsagdorj at the XIV International Congress of Orientalists at New Delhi in 1964. As it was presented in Russian, one of the internationally recognized languages at the conference, I have translated it here from the Russian text rather than the underlying Mongol original. The translation has been approved by the author.

Import policy has played a particularly important role in
Pakistan's economic planning. The amount and allocation of imported
machinery and raw materials have directly affected the nature and pace
of both industrial and agricultural development. The composition of
imports has had a very significant effect on internal relative prices,
which, in turn, essentially determine the allocation of investment in
the private sector. Finally, imports have provided both the government
(in the form of tariffs) and the private sector (in the form of profits)
access to potential savings, which to a large extent have been converted
into investment during the last decade. While import policy should not
be viewed completely in isolation, it is sufficiently important to merit
careful and intensive study. Over the past several years, substantial
research has been carried out on two aspects of Pakistan's import
policy: the description and analysis of the institu¬tional arrangements;
and the development of reasonably accurate statistics. In terms of
institutional arrangements, three contributions are especially worthy of
mention. Naqvi [22] has presented a detailed description of the import
licensing system, indicating the agencies involved and the major
problems faced by them,

Every schoolboy knows that 'England does not love Coalitions'; yet the briefest acquaintance with the history of British politics in the present century would reveal that Britain has been governed by self-styled coalitions for more than a third of the period, although the ministries which can be regarded as coalitions for the purposes of this essay cover a much shorter span: the Asquith coalition (May 1915-December 1916); the Lloyd George coalitions of December 1916-December 1918, and December 1918-October 1922; the MacDonald national government (August 1931-September 1932), and the Churchill coalition (May 1940-May 1945). It is also the case that, on the fifteen occasions since 1943 when Gallup Polls have questioned the electorate about their views on coalition government, the proportion of those regarding such ministries as desirable has never fallen below 22 per cent. If these magnitudes are not evidence of love, at least it is clear that the electorate is on some occasions prepared to engage in mild flirtation, and their politicians in not too-infrequent marriages of convenience.

O'DOHERTY'S paper discusses various possible explanations for the unusually high level of mental hospitalization in the Republic of Eire. The two most probable explanations relate to emigration and culture. On the cultural side, three factors are mentioned: a marked and long-established tolerance for the psychotic, traditional abhorrence of suicide, and late marriage. After World War II there was a considerable influx of Southern Italian labourers into Switzerland. Many of these migrants developed mental disorders on account of which they had to be hospitalized. RISSO and BOKER in their monograph describe the characteristics of these patients. Outstanding among the symptoms displayed is the overpowering delusion of having been bewitched. Their delusional systems are based on beliefs commonly held in the original setting of these patients. Treatment of such patients presents difficult problems to Swiss psychiatrists. CROCETTI and his coworkers confirm the observation made by previous investigators that in some districts of Croatia the rate of schizo phrenic patients is unusually high. They also noted an unusually high rate of other mental disorders in the same districts (cf. Z. Susic, Transultural Psychiatric Rerearch, 2, 1957, 22).

On June 25, 1917, Romain Rolland wrote to Gustave Ador, then President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, informing him of the gift he was making to the Central Prisoners of War Agency. This gesture is worth recalling fifty years later, at a time when the fine figure of the author of Jean-Christophe is held in such high esteem.

AbstractThis note describes some constraints that may be applied to shipping models structured as linear programming problems. These constraints defining port‐throughput capability have proven useful in applications of linear programming by the author and provide additional realism in problems of vessel allocation and ship design selection. Increase in model size through the use of the constraints is in general mode rate.
