THE VIABILITY ON BRITISH ONDURAS, THE LAST BRITISH COLONY ON THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT, IS EXPLORED. THREE AREAS ARE EXAMINED: 1) THE PHYSICAL SETTING; 2) THE HUMAN SETTING; 3) THE POLITICAL SETTING. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT BRITISH HONDURAS IS NOT A POTENTIALLY VIABLE STATE BECAUSE IT HAS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MINERAL RESOURCES, INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND HAS AN UNDEVELOPED AGRICULTURAL SECTOR.

The 1936 "masters meeting" sponsored by the Ryukyu Newspaper Company—a gathering of karate masters, journalists, and government leaders—gives us some indication of the political realities at play in Japan in the early decades of the 20th century and how they may have affected Okinawan karate. Tradition often seems as though it is a safeguard against change. However, the reality is that a resurgence of nationalism fed an anti-Chinese bias and an effort to assimilate Okinawan culture; both affected karate. With economic hardships in Okinawa and a desire to popularize karate, traditions did change. Some teachers sought ways to preserve traditional Okinawan martial arts within this changing political landscape. But at what cost? ; Podemos practicar el empuje de manos del taijiquan de una manera competitiva y, quizás pensando que estamos practicando su aspecto marcial, hacer todo lo posible para evitar perder el equilibrio mientras intentamos desequilibrar a nuestro oponente. La fuerza y la velocidad son normalmente los componentes principales de este tipo de empuje. Por otra parte, podemos empujar con tan solo un mínimo de fuerza, cambiando la dirección si encontramos resistencia y cediendo instantáneamente al ataque o contraataque de un oponente. Ésta última alternativa da la oportunidad de desarrollar la sensibilidad y el grado de reacción y puede, si se practica pacientemente durante muchos años, producir cambios beneficiosos en nosotros que al principio no podríamos siquiera imaginar. Este artículo se ocupa de un modo y actitud con el que podemos practicar teniendo estos objetivos en mente. ; Não há resumo disponível em Português

The lack of progressivity in the tax structure & the fact that income distribution in the US has basically not undergone change in the past twenty-five years are partially to blame for chronic shortages in capital to be used for social & economic problems. Ostensibly, the structure of progressive taxation should help matters, but this policy is not effectively practiced; the reasons include a focus on other national issues & the antagonism of the American public toward changes in income distribution policies. Major income redistributions twenty-five years ago seemed to manifest no harmful effects, & a move must be made in this direction (within reason) again. Statistics on income & the effects of government intervention income distribution are presented. There is no good economic reason preventing a more equitable distribution by taxing the rich more heavily. 4 Tables, 2 Figures. C. Grindle.

THE FRAMEWORK OF THIS ARTICLE POSITS THJAT AN ARMS CONTROL NEGOTATION MUST DEVELOP AND CODIFY THREE FUNDAMENTAL SETS OF ISSUES: NAMELY, THE DEFINING PARAMTERS; THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE CONTENT OF THOSE PARAMTERS; AND, TREATY-SERVICING PROCESSES. IN ADDITION TO THE SPECIFIC TERMS AND PROVISIONS WHICH FLESH OUT AN AGREEMENT, THE OVERALL STATUS OR NATURE OF THE ULTIMATE AGREEMENT, AS ENVISIONED BY PARTICPANTS, CAN HAVE AN INFLUENCE ON NEGOTIATING BEHAVIOUR. THE ARTICLE SUGGESTS THAT THE RELATIVE PERMISSIVENESS OR RESTRICTIVENESS OF THE ENVISIONED TREATY, CONVENTION, ECT. WILL TEND TO CONDITION THE FLEXIBILITY OR ASSERTIVENESS OF A PARTICPANT'S NEGOTIATING STYLE.
