This essay is designed as a short introduction to Japanese studies in European labor history. As a bibliography it does not claim to be exhaustive. A few significant titles had to be excluded when there were too many on a topic to cite them all. Some others have been included because of their uniqueness, even when they were of lower quality. Older writings are only mentioned occasionally.

The second session on "Social Policy and Social Conflict in the Weimar Republic," dealt broadly with labor relations, the efforts of the Center Party, and Social Democratic Party and the various trade-union organizations to defend and extend the social legislation of the Republic, and the increasing opposition of industry to the high level of German social expenditures. Papers were given by Hans Biegert—Berlin, Georges Castellan—Paris, Robert Gates—Ohio State University, Albin Gladen—Bochum, Ursula Hullbusch—Leutershausen, Tim Mason—Oxford, Hans Mommsen—Bochum, Eberhard Pies—Trier, Michael Schneider—Bonn, and Robert Wheeler—University of Southern California. The complex but extremely important struggles over the level and the financing of public expenditure were examined in the third session on "The Impact of Finance Policy on Social Conflict." Papers were given by Gerd Hardach—Marburg, Karl Hardach—Rutgers University, Claus-Dieter Krohn—Hamburg, Martin Vogt—Koblenz, and Peter Christian Witt—Oxford. The fourth session, which turned attention to Germany's involvement in the postwar political and financial system dominated by the Allied Governments, examined the "Limiting International Conditions and the Role of Reparations Policy." Papers were given by Dorte Doering—Berlin, Peter Kruger—Bonn, Werner Link—Kassel, Charles Maier—Harvard University, Alan Milward—Manchester, Hermann Rupieper—Berlin, Georges Jorg-Otto Spiller—Berlin, and Dirk Stegmann—Hamburg. The fifth and sixth sessions focused on the political influence of specific German interest groups. Session five studies the "Representation of Industrial Interests," and papers were given by Berkeley, Forman—University and

agrarian elites from the parliamentary Republic, but does not allow one to fit responsibility for the Republic's demise and the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship into any of the simplified theories of the far right or far left which still circulate today. Although several German industrialists supported Hitler before January 1933, German big business, in general, divided its financial gifts between the Deutsche Volkspartei and the Deutschnationale Volkspartei, and gave much less to Hitler because it feared socialist experiments from a Nazi regime. East Elbian Junkers stirred up the opposition of small holders to the Republic because it had failed to provide them with security in a world swimming in surplus agricultural production. The East Elbian agrarians were, however, too weakened financially and politically to exercise decisive influence in a heavily industrialized society. The Social Democratic Party lost some of its popularity among workers by "tolerating" Bruning's emergency decrees, but its biggest mistake was that it did not have a real alternative to the stringent social and economic measures which Bruning applied by means of these decrees. Germany's craftsmen, shopkeepers and their white-collar employees were early supporters of Hitler, and, in combination with small farmers, were the largest and most enthusaistic block in the Nazi electorate. The specialized topics and esoteric discussions that were covered during the symposium held at Bochum evoked a surprising amount of public interest. A thirty-minute program on regional television dealt with the symposium two days after its conclusion. A one-hour radio program on August 20 explored some of the results of the conference. —Robert A.

Patrice L.R. Higonnet has recently written that “history… implies both the selection of facts and the integration of concrete events in some theoretical setting.” Such a statement is worthy of quotation only because of its banality; today historians are constantly exhorted to use coherent theory in their selection and sorting of “facts.” Yet even a cursory survey of historical analyses of French socialism reveals that historians have often used the fuzzy logic of uncritical empiricism, which describes but does not adequately explain, or the rigid logic of dogmatic theory, which explains on the basis of inadequate description.
