The purpose of this paper is to identify the perspectives which govern the opinions of French leaders toward the United Nations. Having identified these perspectives, we shall seek to characterize the differences between them in terms of their motivation, content, and outcome. Our objective is to qualify conventional stereotypes that have been more repeated than investigated, such as that “the French” are hostile to the UN because they are “nationalists”. While traditional nationalism is still a powerful political emotion in France, it is expressed in various ways among contemporary Frenchmen. The varieties of French nationalism today include—and the paradox is more apparent than real—both commitments to internationalism and loyalties to supranationalism.

Drawing on the articles in this Anniversary Issue (read in galley proof) as well as on his international experience in public opinion and communications research, Daniel Lerner traces some of the outlines of probable future developments in this area. The outlook is that our present methodological attainments will breed simultaneously further methodological progress and greater theoretical insight. Examples of this theory- methodology-theory cycle as it has functioned in the past can be found in such areas as that of latent structure analysis and the study of normal distributions. Further advances along these lines will enable us to tackle some of the larger questions of opinion and power which have previously been beyond our technical capacity. Opinion researchers will thus be equipped to perform increasingly important tasks in our rapidly changing world

Interviewing Frenchmen poses for the American researcher special psychocultural problems. The pervasive skepticism in their "national character" is exhibited is exhibited in a highly defensive personal style. Many reject role-playing questions to avoid exposing the secrets of the self to stragers. Their national traits have been institutinalized by a variety of distance-maintaining mechanisms, such as conventions of courtesy which ritualize interpersonal relationships and enable persons to keep at a distance without being rude. Ritual in their common perspectives and practices complicates the problem of initial contact in interviewing. But, thereafter, it tends to become a free-flowing conversation, and the interviewer figures as a participant personality rather than as a response-recording machine.

In this article, the author discusses the theory of international coalitions, analyzes the neutralism in Europe, and suggests ways in which international communications research may be used to draw neutralists into the American-centered coalition. He contends that an adequate program of international communications research can discover what common purposes Americans share with the rest of the Free World and therefore what the United States should be saying to those people who are neutral in the current world struggle. Daniel Lerner is Professor of Sociology and Director of Research (RADIR Project) in the Hoover Institute at Stanford University. He is currently on leave to Columbia University.

Under what circumstances and to what extent are changes in the locus of political power accompanied by changes in the symbolic vocabulary of ruling groups? By applying statistical techniques to the flow of symbols recorded in the "prestige papers" of France, Germany, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States over the past half century, the authors found that conditions of war and totalitarianism tend to restrict the range of political symbolism, and that the time factor POOL, AND

In the Fall of 1949 the Public Opinion Quarterly presented an expository review of Volumes I and II of The American Soldier. The following expository review concerns Volume IV, the concluding volume in this monumental series. One of the central problems in attitude measurement has been that of how to infer attitudes from their presumed indices—chiefly, the responses to questions. Guttman's scaling techniques contribute to the solution of this problem by providing criteria for determining whether a set of questions taps one and only one attitude continuum. Lazarsfeld's latent structure analysis performs the same function in more general terms, permitting a statement of the probability of observing any given response pattern if a postulated latent attitude exists. M. A. Girshick is President-Elect of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and Professor of Statistics at Stanford University. Daniel Lerner is Director of Research in The Hoover Institute and Associate Professor of Research, also at Stanford.
