  • Abstract in 1945-1946, the U.S. Imported a Significant Amount of Aid to Its Southern Occupation Zone in Korea to Quickly Mitigate Starvation
    Abstract In 1945-1946, the U.S. imported a significant amount of aid to its southern occupation zone in Korea to quickly mitigate starvation. Consequently, much literature, drawing heavily from reports and accounts from the U.S.-administered southern Korea, somewhat gloss over the food shortages in this time period, and they do not detail conditions in northern Korea to the same extent, especially due to the relative dearth of literature from the Soviet side. This paper examines reports of Soviet rice requisitions, migrations, and famine in the Soviet Union to illustrate the underreported prevalence of food shortages in northern Korea. It then investigates the Soviet demand for food at the preliminary conference of the Moscow Conference, in order to reveal that the Soviets were actually greatly in need of food assistance for both itself and its occupation zone in northern Korea. Lastly, it displays the Soviets’ suspicion of the U.S. and how their ultimatum (of requiring U.S. food as a precondition for further negotiations) further demonstrates how badly the Soviets needed food. This paper ultimately infers that the north experienced a much more severe food shortage than the south did. The Soviet occupation of Korea generated severe hardships for the north, contrary to the misconception that the Soviet occupation of northern Korea ran more smoothly than the U.S.’s administration did in the south.

Managing the Treasury Yield Curve in the 1940s Kenneth Garbade Federal Reserve Bank of New York Staff Reports, no. 913 February 2020 JEL classification: G28, H63, N22 Abstract This paper examines the efforts of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to first control, and later decontrol, the level and shape of the Treasury yield curve in the 1940s. The paper begins with a brief review of monetary policy in 1938 and a description of the period between September 1939 and December 1941, when the idea of maintaining a fixed yield curve first appeared. It then discusses the financing of U.S. participation in World War II and the experience with maintaining a fixed curve. The paper concludes with a discussion of how the FOMC regained control of monetary policy in the second half of the 1940s. The Committee’s efforts offer two lessons in yield curve management: (1) the shape of the curve cannot be fixed independently of the volatility of interest rates and debt management policies, and (2) large-scale open market operations may be required in the course of refixing, from time to time, the shape of the yield curve.
