  • The Japanese Economy During the Interwar Period
    20092009--JE--21 The Japanese Economy during the Interwar Period: 両大戦間期Instabilityの日本における恐慌と政策対応 in the Financial System and ― 金融システム問題と世界恐慌への対応を中心にthe Impact of the World Depression ― Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies 金融研究所 鎮目雅人 Masato Shizume 2009 年 4 月 May 2009 The Japanese economy during the interwar period faced chronic crises. Among them, the Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 and the Showa Depression of 1930-31 marked turning points. The Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 was the consequence of persistent financial instability because of the incomplete restructuring in the business sector and postponements in the disposal of bad loans by financial institutions. The crisis brought reforms in the financial sector through large-scale injections of public funds and the amalgamation of banks. The Showa Depression of 1930-31 was caused by the Great Depression, a worldwide economic collapse, which had been intensified in Japan by the return to the Gold Standard at the old parity. Japan escaped from the Great Depression earlier than most other countries through a series of macroeconomic stimulus measures initiated by Korekiyo Takahashi, a veteran Finance Minister who resumed office in December 1931. Takahashi instituted comprehensive macroeconomic policy measures, including exchange rate, fiscal, and monetary adjustments. At the same time, the Gold Standard, which had been governing Japan’s fiscal policy, collapsed in the wake of the British departure from it in September 1931. Then, Japan introduced a mechanism by which the government could receive easy credit from the central bank without establishing other institutional measures to govern its fiscal policy. This course of events resulted in an eventual loss of fiscal discipline.

  • Distribution and Seasonal Movements of the House Sparrow
    Bird-Banding 2o] NICHOLS,Distribution of theHouse Sparrow January DISTRIBUTION AND SEASONAL MOVEMENTS OF THE HOUSE SPARROW By Joun T. N•cuoLs Fi•oM January, 1930, to October, 1933, 450 House Sparrows were banded at Garden City, New York. Adult House Sparrowsare notoriouslytrap-shy, seldomrepeating or return- ing. Such scattering repeats and returns as there have been to date do not, in themselves,prove much as to the local move- ments of the species. However, adults were banded on the right leg, and recog- nizably young birds on the left leg, thus dividing the popula- tion into six groupseasily recognizableat the trapping station by sight. The varying proportionsof these groupspresent by observationare shownin percentagesin Table 1. We will begin by summarizing the most obvious and best groundedconclusions based on this table: (1) Young birds as a class leave the trapping station im- mediately if they are strong on the wing and independent of their parents. Their leaving seemsto be due to lack of place memory, correlated with a general lack of memory which causesthem to repeat much more freely than the adults. It is not that they are crowded out by the adults or seek a differ- ent environment,for at the sametime the proportionof birds of the year at the station rises, as would be expectedat that season. It is rather a matter of chance,with a drifting popula- tion, chancewhich will later bring a small proportion of them back to the station again. (2) The proportion of banded adult males at the trapping station has risen rapidly since 1930 with continued banding, and is subjectto wide seasonalfluctuations, which can only be explained by a more or less regular return of birds from out- side to the station.

  • MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1935 Washington, C. the Committee Met
    MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1935 UNITED STATES SENATE, COMMITTEE ON Washington, C. The committee met, pursuant to call, at a. m., in the Finance Committee Room, Senate Office Senator Pat Harrison, chairman, presiding. Present: Senators Harrison (&airman), King, Walsh, Connally, Gore, Costigan, Bailey, Clark, Black, Gerry, Couzens, Metcalf, Hastings, Capper. L The CHAIRMAN. The committee will come to order. The witness this morning is Mr. William Green, president of the American of Labor. STATEMENT OF WILLIAM GREEN, PRESIDENT, AMERICAN FED­ ERATION OF LABOR The CHAIRMAN. your own way, Mr. Green, you can present your views with reference to Senate bill ’ GREEN. Mr. Chairman and members of the committee: I assure you that I am pleased with the opportunity to present to the viewpoint of labor regarding the social-security legisla­ Consideration of unemployment in this country is by no means new. During every depression we have had in recent years we have talked unemployment insurance. Any plans for unemployment were always forgotten, however, with a return of prosperity. Unemployment comes into being with the system, and grows with it. The United States is the last great industrial country to give serious consideration to a system of unemployment insurance. We are, indeed, decades behind in the development of a social program. Comprehensive systems of unem­ ployment have been in practical operation in various foreign countries for many years. Opposition to unemployment insurance in this country is based primarily upon the claim that it is unnecessary, that unemployment is not an insurable risk, and that even if we did manage to insure our millions of wage against their great risk of unemployment, the effect upon them and upon the Nation would be harmful, Today we need not convince either the lawmakers of this country or the people themselves that we need a broad system of social insur­ ance, covering unemployment, old age, care of dependent and unem­ ployable persons.

  • The Indian Independence Struggle (1930 – 1931)
    The Indian Independence Struggle (1930 – 1931) Lester R. Kurtz, Ph.D* June 2009 Summary of events related to the use or impact of civil resistance ©2009 International Center on Nonviolent Conflict Disclaimer: Hundreds of past and present cases of nonviolent conflict exist. To make these cases more accessible, the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC) is compiling summaries of them on an ongoing basis. Each summary aims to provide a clear perspective on the role that nonviolent civil resistance has played or is playing in a particular case. The following is authored by someone who has expertise in this particular region of the world and/or expertise in the field of nonviolent conflict. The author speaks with his/her own voice, so the conflict summary below does not necessarily reflect the views of ICNC. If you would like to suggest a conflict that you feel should be summarized and included on ICNC's website, please contact us at [email protected] and let us know. *Lester R. Kurtz is a Professor at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at George Mason University. ©2009 International Center on Nonviolent Conflict | 1 Conflict Summary: Mohandas Gandhi’s civil disobedience movement of 1930-1931—launched by the Salt March— is a critical case for understanding civil resistance. Although by itself it failed to bring Indian independence, it seriously undermined British authority and united India’s population in a movement for independence under the leadership of the Indian National Congress (INC). It further signaled a new stage in the struggle for Indian swaraj (self-rule) and facilitated the downfall of the British Empire in India.

  • Salt Protests of 1930
    Women in the Indian Independence Movement - the Salt Protests of 1930 Grades: High School Suggested Curriculum Area: World History, World Geography, Social Studies Amount of time 1-3 sessions (forty-five minute sessions) Goals: This lesson will examine women’s involvement in the Indian independence movement through their participation in the 1930’s Salt March. The activities and materials are designed to address the following questions: What were the experiences of women in the Indian Salt Protests of 1930? What effects did women’s participation have on the Indian movement for independence? How do different individuals remember and understand the role of women in the Salt March and the larger independence movement? How can primary source documents provide students additional perspectives on this historical event? Objectives: • Students will be able to describe the role of women in the salt protests of 1930 and interpret different perspectives on women’s participation in the Indian Independence movement. • Students will learn to use, analyze to synthesize information from primary source materials (written texts and photographs) to gain an understanding of multiple perspectives of an historical event. Background Information for Teachers: As part of the larger independence movement, Gandhi called for an end to the British monopoly and tax on salt in January 1930. Roughly a month later, Gandhi announced he would march to Dandi, a coastal city to illegally manufacture salt. On the famous Dandi march through the villages of Gujarat, Gandhi started off with 70 peaceful, non-violent protesters (sataygrahi). Along the way, people from villages and towns spontaneously joined the group.
