The first chief aim of this article is to analyse elementally or fundamentally the social process called "backward course" in this post-war Japan, especially from the view-point of political sociology or sociology of political power. The basic method of study applied here may be fairly similar to that of American social scientists, e.g., H. D. LASSWELL, John DEWEY, etc. Karl MANNHEIM'S works have also given worth-while suggestions for this study. A basic theory adopted and brought forward in these analyses can be roughly described as follows : any political society requires the. social functions of adjustment among these three elements, Institution, Ideology and Personality common to its members, or in another term, 'social character' for the maintainance of its own stability. And then, an important discord among the three-such as in the case of a so-called backward nation-causes movements for any solution or recapture of the balance and stability even by means of political power. It becomes inevitable that there arises a strict or severe relationship between politics and education. Generally speaking, a new regime must be accompanied by a new education. Otherwise, the new regime can not be naturally stabilized. But such a process cannot be carried on well without the establishment of a new 'dominance and subordination' social relationship. Naturally, there has not been any fundamental alteration of the social or governmental relationship in fact in the social or political process of this post-war Japan. The so-called "democratic revolution in post-war Japan" has only been performed in the field of legitimation or rationalization of power, and in the narrower field of organization of power. The personalities or mentalities of the ruling class have remained as they were before. Nearly the same is the case with people's social character, which is disturbed and unsettled. Such situations in the national character inevitably characterize the political technique or politics as art, and especially the political symbols adopted by the rulers. To wit, the character split of symbols adopted by political leaders in this state seems to be precisely a reflex of such transitional stage. In respect to political opportunism or realism especially. noticed concerning political symbols in post-war Japan, the important role of bureaucracy must not be overlooked. Japanese bureaucratic personalities for political power have generally and greatly influenced the recent governmental process of this nation. Finally, a prospect is given that the 'authoritative uniformity policy of democracy as ideology' will be increasingly developed for the time being. P. S. One of the chiefest roles of political science must consist in the analyses of "facts versus ideas in the real process of politics".
