The degree of authoritarianism in the United States Army is assessed through secondary analysis of data from a questionnaire administered in 1973/1974 to 1,564 enlisted men. The relationship of authoritarianism to army experience is curvilinear: attitudes become less authoritarian with increases in length of experience up to three years, & then become more authoritarian with increasing length of service. This pattern persists with education controlled for, & with a volunteers-only sample. Careerists are considerably more authoritarian than first-term soldiers. 2 Tables. W. H. Stoddard.

The Japanese look within themselves to find the causes of the Pacific War (1937-45). They have discovered an inner-directed nationalism that exalts conformity and ethnicity. Impressed with the high-mindedness of the Americans, who placed reform over rehabilitation in their occupation of Japan, determined not to go to war again, the Japanese have submerged their nationalism within a pro-Americanism. That state of affairs will continue so long as America seeks peace, looks outward, honors diversity, and lives up to its ideals.

Public opinion surveys conducted during the 1960s & the 1980s in Buenos Aires & the Federal Capital of Argentina demonstrate a consistent level of antagonism toward the US by at least 20% of urban citizens. Hostility increased when the US sided against Argentina in the 1982 Malvinas (Falklands) War, but declined 1983-1988 under the conciliatory policies adopted by the governments of Raul Alfonsin & Ronald Reagan. Current antagonism tends to focus on specific elements of US government policy in Latin America, while little hostility is expressed toward the people of the US. In contrast to foreign policy initiatives, elements of the culture, the political freedoms, & the economic & educational opportunities of the US are clearly admired in Argentina. 9 Tables, 11 References.
