1. The historical studies on social welfare over these thirty years since the establishment of the JSSSW have made considerable progress worth to appreciate. Especially the works Prof. Kyuuichi Yoshida has published recent years have certainly brought the level of research of this country to the same at least as ones offoreign countries. 2. The administrative and financial "reform" is now being pursued by the Japanese government depending on the reports of the Second Ad Hoc Commission on Administrative Reform. These trends aim to make social welfare services contract as far as possible, just rendering them poor relief. Theories under them are not correct in estimation of lives of people, and wilfully trying to break down all the progress this country has made in social welfare fields since the end of the second world war. They are, we should say, even destroying the idea of social welfare. Because these trends are supported by the theories which ignore the achievement of historical studies, now it is just the time we should recognize the importance of historical research far better than before. 3. In order to level up the standard of historical research of our Association, firstly we should learn much more from the achievement of general historical research, and secondly should study and develop the theory on social welfare by ourselves relating to new phenomena of problems and policies around social welfare. 4. Because social welfare services are getting more and more related to the services of income-security, education, health service, housing, employment and so on, we also have to interchange with the historical studies of these areas.
