    In 1897 when Japan colonized Taiwan, the Japa nese government set up a special account system, which was subsequently used in all the colonized areas-Sakhalin, Kanto-shu, Korea, and Nanyo-gunto(Micronesian Islands). The purpose of this paper is to look at characteristcs of Japan's colonial finance system by tracing the process of fornation of the Taiwanese system(Taiwan Sotoku-fu Tokubetsu Kaikei). Attention will be paid to the Chinese public finance system before the Japnese rule, and to the process in which the Japanese administration was established in Taiwan. When the Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty was completed in April of 1895, the Ministry of Finance had already been busy working out a plan to separate Taiwan's financial organization from that of the home government. Two foreign esperts were consulted: the English espert's was a separation foumula, similar to the 'special account' system, while the French proposed an assimilation one. MATSUKATA Masayoshi, then Minister of Finance, predicted that an annual deficit of the Taiwanese budget would be about 3 million yen at the beginning, but the actual figure for the fiscal year of 1896 amounted to 4 million. In that year Taiwan had to be administered from the home government's general accounts: the independence of the colonial finance did not materialize. In the next fiscal year, after surveying the Chinese taxation system, a special account system was introduced. While they followed the Chinese land taxation formula, new taxes were introduced for sugar, camphor and tea which were Taiwan's main export commodities. Nevertheless, the deficit was as much as 6.4 million yen for 1897, which was covered by the reparations from China. Thus Taiwan's colonial finance had to make a start with much trouble. After the Russo-Japanese War, however, it could establish itself as a separate fiscal system and no longer relied on subsidies from the home government, which forms a sharp contrast with the Korean case.

    Daniel DEFOE often confounded his readers when he spoke of the wealth of a merchant prince while he propagated the industriousness of a tradesman as though the latter were capable of attaining the prosperity of the former. The aim of the paper is not only to consider whether the feat within the reach of a mere tradesman, by analyzing such factors as the apprenticeship, marriage, kinship, and inheritance of real estates of both overseas merchants and tradesmen of the period, but also to clarify the characteristics of the two groups. The merchant prince loomed large in the age after the Restoration, especially in the mind of the lesser gentry, who cut a declining figure in the period. Both social milieu are contrasted in DEFOE's works, and provide a clue to the understanding of the contemporary society and its social mobility, against the background of the Financial and Commercial Revolution. The paper is factual investigation of the mercantile community of late seventeenth century London. The research is based on the data compiled and published by J.R. WOODHEAD under the title of The Rulers of London, 1660-1689, A Biopraphical Record of the Aldermen and Common Councilmen of the City of London.

    Carl Zeiss JENA war der groBte und wichtigste Betrieb in Jena seit Ende des 19. Jh. Er hatte den Status einer Stiftung mit einigen fortschrittlichen Inhalten, wie beispielsweise der fruhesten Einfuhrung des Acht-Stunden-Arbeitstages. Die Wiedereinfuhrung des Stiftungsstatus war eine der Hauptoforderungen der Arbeiter am 17. Juni 1953. AuBerdem war Carl Zeiss JENA die Zentrale der Bewegung am 17. Juni in Jena uberhaupt. An diesem Tag bildeta sich der erste Demonstrationszug gerade am Sudwerk von Carl Zeiss JENA, der auch die Demonstranten aus anderen Betrieben in die Stadt fuhrte. Ein wichtiger Anfuhrer dieses Demonstarations-Zuges hieB N., der am folgenden Tag verhaftet wurde. Die Protestbe wegung bei Carl Zeiss JENA fur die Freilassung von N. setzte sich auch nach dem 17. Juni fort. Einer der Hohepunkte war die Gewerkschaftsaktivistentagung von Carl Zeiss JENA am 9. Juli. Die Arbeiter lehnten die Auffassung der Behorde, N. sei ein faschistisches Element, ab und forderten seine sofortige Freilassung. Weil ihre Forderung nicht erfullt wurde, begingen die Arbeiter am 11. Juli einen Sitzstreik. Die Entwicklung vor, am und nach dem 17. Juni 1953 bei Carl Zeiss JENA zeigt, daB die Ereignisse weder als em "faschistischer Putsch" noch als ein unmittelbarer "Aufstand" fur die deutsche Einheit charakterisiert werden konnen.
