Japan s Financial Control over the Occupied Areas of North China, 1938 - 1941
……………………………………………………………………………………… Zhang Junyi(34)
In order to control China s economic lifeline and plunder materials, Japan gradually established a financial control
system in the occupied areas of North China from 1938 to 1941. In early 1938, Japan manipulated the establishment of
puppet China Joint Reserve Bank to issue JRB bonds to replace Chinese national currency. In order to give JRB bonds the
international trade circulation function, the puppet North China provisional government implemented the exchange
concentration system to control foreign exchange in North China. After 1941, Japan introduced a special Yuan system to
regulate foreign trade remittances in North China. Till the outbreak of the Pacific War, the circulation function of the JRB
bonds was basically perfect. The JRB bonds became the most important currency in the occupied areas of North China,
marking the final establishment of financial control in the region by Japan. With the help of its experience in North China,
Japan continuously strengthened the financial control over the “ Great East Asia Co⁃Prosperity Sphere,” resulting in great
damage to the regional economy.

Cooperation in Psychological Warfare against Japan between the United States Office of War
Information and China, 1942 - 1945 ………………………………………… Chen Jiaqi(66)
The United States Office of War Information ( OWI) was an important agency for the United States to conduct
psychological warfare against the enemy during the Pacific War. It established a systematic organization in China s KMT⁃
controlled areas, set up a psychological warfare group to carry out anti⁃War works, and received support and help of
Japanese writer Kaji Wataru (1903 - 1982). OWI also noted the psychological warfare against Japan in the base areas of
the Communist Party of China, and made a systematic investigation to its experience in educating Japanese prisoners, and
gradually realized that Japanese prisoners could become “ weapons” for psychological warfare. However, the Sino⁃US
cooperation dominated by OWI was deeply influenced by the US foreign policies and ideology, and the propaganda for
American national image and values loomed in the process of cooperation between the two countries, affecting the US s
decision⁃making and practice of psychological warfare against Japan.
The Attempt and Failure of the Commission of Enquiry of the League of Nations to Mediate the
Sino⁃Japanese Conflict during Its Visit to China ………………………………… Li Shan(80)
In March⁃September 1932, in addition to factual investigations, the Commission of Enquiry of the League of Nations
also tried to seek a solution to the Sino⁃Japanese conflict. At the beginning of his visit to China, Lytton tried to intervene in
the Shanghai armistice negotiations but was opposed by all parties. Since then, the Commission of Enquiry of the League of
Nations was largely guided by the British⁃led policy of taking Japan s part and recognizing Japan s occupation of the
Northeast as a fact, and made it clear that it would not invoke Article 16 of the Covenant of the League of Nations in its
report to claim sanctions against Japan. Against the background of the Japanese Army s intensive invasion of the Rehe, the
