     This study is related to my past work which has been reported in South East Asian Studies , Vol. 14, No. 3, December, 1976. In this article individual farm management data is used and a short-term managerial relationship between efficiency factors and capacity factors is assumed. By defining the production relationship in terms of four inputs, land, labor, capital, and dummy variables concerning the use of fertilizer or machinery, the coefficients for these factors in the models were estimated. The data employed were obtained in surveys conducted in Phong-dinh Province in the Mekong Delta and Ayutthaya in the Chao Phraya basin in 1973, and from official statistics of rice production costs in Shiga Prefecture for the same period.
      The main features of the cost structure and profitability of rice production for high-yielding varieties and local varieties are indicated in Table 2. Gross value and net revenue per hectare were divided into labor efficiency and labor-forces per hectare, the results of which are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Regression equations were fitted to the farm management data, and the coefficients derived for land differed significantly from zero in the models (Tables 3-5).
      The coefficients for capital in the regression equations for production costs were also significant. The major findings from these models are that output and production costs are each highly correlated to the size of operated land and that there exist significant differences in the elasticities estimated for the three regions.

  • Japan's Involvement with Southeast Asia in the Period before World War II: Kazue Tsutsumibayashi

     This article aims to clarify an important facet of Japan's relations with Southeast Asia, referred to as "Nanyo." As a case study of how the patterns of Japanese involvement in the region changed, the life history of Kazue Tsutsumi-bayashi will be analyzed.
      Tsutsumibayashi went to Java at the age of thirty-eight in 1910, with fifteen young Japanese he had selected. In contrast to those Japanese who had been in Java earlier, he was strongly marked by a sense of mission and moral conduct, Starting as a petty peddler, he eventually succeeded in establishing a chain of toko djepang "Nanyo-shokai" all over Java.
      Tsutsumibayashi's case was a very significant departure from the earlier pattern of Japanese presence in Southeast Asia, which was more or less characterized by unique and limited professional orientations like prostitution. This departure was made possible by Tsutsumibayashi's dedicated belief in Protestantism, which contains ethical elements conducive to rational economic conduct as propounded by Max Weber.
      In this paper, the author aims to clarify two aspects of Tsutsumibayashi's intellectual life. His thinking is examined to determine the influence of his religious beliefs, and the process of his transformation from a dedicated Protestant to a dedicated supporter of Japan's expansion into Southeast Asia must be clarified. For this, the diaries he kept during his trip to Java are used.

  • A Note on the Basic Structure of South-East Asian Society

     The prototype of mainland South-East Asian Society seems to have formed in its most northern part where hill and valley people coexisted and conflicted for many centuries. The author assumes that the inhabitants there would have organized "tightly" structured social systems based on patrilineage, because of the unfavourable natural environment and unstable social-political circumstances. One finds much more "loosely" structured social systems based on bilateral kinships among their plains cousins in the southern and coastal parts of the areas because of the favourable natural and socio-political habitats. There, the inhabitants are very unlikely to form corporate groups which go beyond the family- and village-levels. Accordingly, Sinicization and Indianization would have been necessary for the people to form supra-local solidarities through urbanization and state-building, and I propose a hypothesis in this connection.

  • A Note on the 'Protection' of Islam in Thailand

     The king of Thailand is traditionally considered to be the akkhasātsanūpat-hamphok , the protector or upholder, of sātsanā, and sātsanā (religion) in Thailand is virtually tantamount to Buddhism. This royal epithet, however, underwent a semantic change when the political upheaval of 1932 introduced western-style constitutionalism and the modern concept of religious liberty into this traditional Southeast Asian kingdom. Royal protection was then extended to all religions in the land, including the Islam of Thai-Malay subjects which had long been regarded with indifference by the Siamese government. The first legal expression of the new religious policy was "The Royal Decree on the protection of Islam" (1945). Royal protection of Islam is being brought about through a reorganization of the religion into a centralized hierarchy with the Chulārātchamontri as its head. The process of reorganization seems, however, to be slower and more complicated than that of the Buddhist sangha, for historical, cultural and structural reasons.

     Socio-economic conditions in Padang Lalang in the State of Kedah, West Malaysia, have changed greatly since the introduction of paddy double-cropping in the Kedah plain in 1970 to 1973 through the Muda irrigation scheme. The life of farmers in the community has greatly improved. This article, based on surveys carried out in the community in 1964, 1968 and 1976 by the author, analyzes the extent and the content of the changes in order to illuminate the continuity and discontinuity of organizational life in Padang Lalang.

     This is the second report on research into interpersonal relations among urban people in Indonesia conducted by the author in Jakarta in 1975 to 1976. In this report the data obtained from interviews with sixty-two Indonesian workers in two Japanese-Indonesian joint venture factories are presented.
      1. The background of the sample Indonesian workers, including their age, marital status, birth place, ethnic group, religion, channel of employment, and monthly income, is recorded. Differences between the two factories, which were opened at different times, are also discussed.
      2. The life-style of the workers, including their patterns of monthly expenditure, remittance to kin in the country, loans and debts, is examined. The frequent monetary exchanges between kin and friends are pointed out.
      3. The value system of the workers, including their evaluation of factory work, and attitudes to work and income are recorded. Some differences in attitude are found between laborers and farmers reflecting the effects of modernization.
      4. The Indonesian workers' evaluation of the Japanese-Indonesian factories, including their relationship with Japanese supervisors, motivation for working at Japanese factories, attitude toward future employment, and evaluation of the role of Japanese enterprises in Indonesia are examined. The responses are in general neither very sympathetic nor very critical, with a few exceptions.

     The following dates can be estimated for Tai-Kadai by glottochronology, time depth T being calculated from equations (1) to (3) in the text : Proto-Tai-Kadai would date back to 4000-5000 years ago. Proto-Daic and Li became distinct some 3000-3500 years ago. Proto-Daic split into Be, Lakia, Kam-Sui and Tai about 2000-3000 years ago, with the division of Kam-Tai into Kam-Sui and Tai as the latest development. Proto-Tai began to be differentiated into dialects about 1600 years ago, and the differentiation of Southwestern Tai began about 1000 years ago. Sek seems to be a Northern Tai language, which separated from other Northern Tai languages relatively early on.

  • Floristic Comparison between Taiwan and the Philippines, with Special Attention to the Distribution of the Pteridophytes

     Pteridophytes in Taiwan and the Philippines are compared from a floristic point of view. The area of distribution for each species known in the two countries is considered, and the local florae are studied in detail for Orchid Island, Batan Island, and the Mt. Burnay area in northern Luzon. From these observations, a considerable disparity between the distribution of pteridophytes in Taiwan and Luzon emerges. Although pteridophytes do extend their area rather easily beyond the miles of discontinuity, their present distribution seems to have also been influenced by the geohistorical isolation of the areas concerned.

     In Indonesia there are many species of leguminous plants, herbs, shrubs and trees. Some of them are used as food by Indonesian natives. Their leaves, young shoots, flowers, young pods, unripe and dried peas or beans, bean sprouts and tubers are often eaten, and may be roasted, boiled, fried or fermented, served as side-dishes with rice table, as delicacies, seasoning, or cakes. Although some species are poisonous, they are neutralized by traditional preparation methods. In all there are about forty species of edible legumes.
