- From the Dec. 14, 1941 issue, an article entitled "Russia in Strategic Spot" by Felix Morley describes an article that Grajdanzev wrote for the IPR's Far Eastern Survey on "Asiatic Russia's War Potential" as "a scientific, comprehensive and reliable estimate" written by "a Russian economist of high repute."
- From the August 30, 1942 issue, an article entitled "Consumer Goods Weakest Link in Russia's Capacity to Resist," also by Felix Morley, also cites Grajdanzev's Far Eastern Survey article from Nov. 17, 1941. It seems to be the only source Morley uses (at least the only one he cites).
Haven't gone through all of the "Andrew Grad" articles yet. Gotta get back to my main task for today ... choosing shower tile...

Grajdanzev looks like an interesting figure... Thanks for the exploration. He seemed to be hounded by MacArthur and worked at a small library after his return to the US.
"Masuda illustrates the constricting of the postwar U.S. political spectrum both at home and abroad, particularly in Japan where General Douglas
MacArthur and his chief of intelligence, Gen. Charles Willoughby (whom MacArthur liked to call “my little fascist”) got going well before Joe McCarthy
in seeking out subversives in the American Occupation. One of the victims, Andrew Grajdanzev, who wrote what was for decades the best book on the
Japanese colony in Korea, titled Modern Korea (1944), was tailed, had his home searched secretly, and was generally hounded by MacArthur’s minions until
the only job he could fnd when he returned to the United States was in a small local library (p. 30)."

Thanks for this--I hadn't come across that very important bit of information. (And I didn't see your comment until now--for some reason I wasn't notified about it.)
