> The UK will be the first European country to have a Reciprocal Access Agreement with Japan, the most important defence treaty between the UK and Japan since 1902.
- The Russian military command appears to be relying on existing units deployed to the international border area and readily available forces in the rear, most of which are units staffed with conscripts and irregular forces, to address the ongoing Ukrainian incursion into Kursk Oblast.
- These units would likely be the first to respond even if the Russian military command has decided to transfer additional, more experienced units from elsewhere in the theater.
- The Russian military command may currently be resisting operational pressures to redeploy forces from other operational directions to prevent the Ukrainian incursion from disrupting Russian offensive operations in eastern Ukraine.
- The Russian military command may currently be transferring more experienced and better-provisioned frontline units from eastern or southern Ukraine to Kursk Oblast, but it would likely take additional time for such units to arrive in Kursk Oblast.
It seems that the poor bore the brunt of the diminishing food supply. Cut off from income opportunities and regular food supply, their ultimate fate during the Japanese occupation was to starve along the roadside. Many of them may indeed have perished this way, because available evidence indicates an overall decline of the population in Java during the years 1944 and 1945. During those years about 2.4 million people died on top of the normal mortality rate. It seems likely that most of these deaths occurred in the group of 7.5 million who were deprived of a regular supply of food.
On the whole, it is improbable that the volume of the Japanese military demands caused food shortages in Indonesia. It is also unlikely that Japanese food policies in Java contributed significantly to a redistribution of available food supplies. It is very plausible that the rigorous attempts to control food marketing in order to obtain the required quantities of rice for distribution purposes impeded a flow of food stuffs from areas where farmers could produce a surplus to deficit areas. As explained above, direct government control over food supply was not the only reason for the failure of the distribution mechanism. Low purchase prices, deteriorating production circumstances and increasing transport impediments are additional explanations. Figure 3 has indicated that per capita food supply stabilised during 1944-1946 in each of the three provinces in Java.
It is therefore likely that many farmers adhered to subsistence production with only a small surplus to serve the local rural economy. Hence, food shortages and human suffering were not caused by the requisitioning of rice by the authorities, but by the impediments imposed on the trade and transport of food stuffs.
X 立法どころか提出がゼロなので、具体的に政策を考えた経験はなく、想定される反論も考えることがない。これでも、重要閣僚でもやれば、ディベート能力が育ったんかもしれんが、環境大臣なので、ボロが少ししか露呈しなかったんだね。
〇 ボロでも務まるのが世襲議員。今井絵理子ですら「医療的ケア児及びその家族に対する支援に関する法律」の法案提出者ですし、今井が事務局長を務める「障害児者の情報コミュニケーション推進に関する議員連盟」は年内の3本の議員立法の法案を提出予定だそうだから、進次郎がいかにひどいか分かる。
