The Government

 The 1930s economic crisis in the United States had spread throughout the world and caused a number of social, economic, political and cultural impacts, including for the Dutch East Indies colonies. Karanganyar Regency, which was in the Bagelen Residency territory since 1901, had experienced the effects of the economic shock as well. Karanganyar was a district in the Kebumen Regency area. Before becoming a sub-district, Karanganyar was an independent regency and had its head of government from 1832 until 1936. Through literature studies, this paper intended to thoroughly analyze the existence of Karanganyar Regency in the colonial era, find out the background of its elimination, and the process of social change that occurred. To obtain the main variables that cause the elimination of Karanganyar Regency, the researcher utilized the historical comparative method. From the analysis, we concluded that the Economic Depression centred in the United States affected the Dutch East Indies colonies, particularly on the management of the government bureaucracy. This situation demanded the Dutch East Indies government to adapt to social change by removing a number of Regency, including Karanganyar Regency.

The Amsterdam School is an architectural stream developed in the Netherlands between 1915 and 1930. The influence was so wide that the whole European continent and the United States of America were affected. Indonesia as one of the colonies of the Netherlands also experienced its influence directly and indirectly. This article is an early study dealing with how far the Amsterdam School has influenced the colonial architecture in the then Dutch East Indies. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Amsterdam School adalah aliran arsitektur yang berkembang di Belanda antara th. 1915-1930. Pengaruhnya sangat luas, bahkan sampai keseluruh benua Eropa dan Amerika Serikat. Indonesia sebagai negara bekas jajahan Belanda waktu itu tidak luput dari pengaruh langsung maupun tidak langsung dari aliran tersebut. Tulisan ini merupakan studi awal yang membahas sampai sejauh mana pengaruh Amsterdam School pada perkembangan arsitektur kolonial di Hindia Belanda waktu itu. Kata kunci: Amsterdam School, Arsitektur Kolonial di Hindia Belanda.

A New Species

The nematode genus Stephanofilaria was created to accommodate the species S. dedoesi Ihle and Ihle-Landenberg, 1933, which was found in association with a disease in cattle named “Cascado” in the Dutch East Indies. Two further species have since been described, namely, S. stilesi Chitwood, 1934, from skin lesions in cattle in the United States and S. assamensis Pande, 1936, from “Hump Sore” in cattle in Assam. The disease and its relation to the nematode has been studied in each case by Bubberman and Kranefeld (1933) in the Dutch East Indies, by Dikmans (1934) in the United States and by Pande (1935) in Assam, and the results of their studies leave little doubt as to the authenticity of Stephanofilariasis as an important skin disease in cattle.

The invention of sound recording technology in the nineteenth century was a modern miracle. Making possible the storage and preservation of sounds across time and distance, which previously could only be dreamed of, this invention contributed significantly to the developing entertainment world. Thomas Alva Edison first realized this dream in 1877 when he invented the tin-foil phonograph, which then inspired other scientists to perfect and develop his invention. During the last two decades of the 1800s sound recording machines were exhibited outside the United States of America, first in Europe and then in Australia and Asia. In Europe the machine was first demonstrated at the Academy of Science in Paris on 11 March 1878, where a French professor named Bonjour accused Edison of cheating. He stated that Edison was a ventriloquist.

The Prestige

American trade with China was ushered in by the voyage of the Empress of China to Canton in 1784. Within a few years commerce had become so profitable that the United States appointed Major Samuel Shaw to act as the American Consul in China. Very quickly the United States became the number two trader with China and the most serious rival to England. However, American ships were neither as large nor as numerous as those of the British East Indies Company and American merchants possessed neither the financial backing nor the prestige of their British counterpart. The United States was still a weak naval power and traders could not depend on any significant protection from the fleet. Furthermore, the Washington government was unable to exert any appreciable influence on Chinese authorities and they settled into a well-patterned position of following the British lead in the Far East.

Significant Factors

It is safe to say that very few people in the United States have any appreciation of the importance of the Netherlands Indies to Holland, to the world at large, or to the United States. Yet they constitute a major part in the economic prosperity of Holland, furnish a large element in the international trade of the world, and are significant factors in the foreign trade of the United States. They are also the seat of political developments, resulting from the political awakening of Asia, which are worth attention.From west to east, these islands extend more than 3,000 miles, or as far as from San Francisco to the longitude of the eastern end of Maine; and from north to south, more than 1,000 miles.

The U.S

The United States had developed trade relations with the Dutch East Indies before World War I. In the 1920s, American diplomatic services prepared reports on the economic and political situation in the Dutch colony. The U.S. wanted to defend their interests in the region. In 1949, after several years of attempts to regain power in Indonesia, the Dutch withdrew in the absence of American support. A decade later, suchlike events occurred in connection with Dutch New Guinea.

Slight Damage

In the April, 1926 number of this Journal, Professor Quincy Wright remarks, apropos of the Damascus bombardment:Does international law require the application of laws of war to peopleof a different civilization? The ancient Israelites are said to have denied the usual war restrictions to certain tribes against which they were sworn enemies, the ancient Greeks considered the rules of war recognized among Hellenes inapplicable to barbarians, and medieval Christian civilization took a similar attitude toward war with the infidel. An English writer in1906 draws attention to “ the peculiarly barbarous type of warfare which civilized powers wage against tribes of inferior civilization. When I contemplate,” he adds, “ such modem heroes as Gordon, and Kitchener, and Roberts, I find them in alliance with slave dealers or Mandarins, orcutting down fruit trees, burning farms, concentrating women and children, protecting military trains with prisoners, bribing other prisoners to fight against their fellow countrymen. These are performances which seem to take us back to the bad old times. What a terrible tale will the recording angel have to note against England and Germany in South Africa, against France in Madagascar and Tonquin, against the United States in the Philippines,against Spain in Cuba, against the Dutch in the East Indies,against the Belgians in the Congo State.” Possibly the emphasis, in most accounts of the recent bombardment of Damascus, upon the fact that relatively slight damage was done to Europeans and Americans indicates the existence of this distinction in the moral sense of western communities.
