13, China 5, etc.There may be much more subscriptions of other American and European psychological journals in Japan and India.On the other hand, most of the Japanese psychological works are not known to the western world, though the papers read at the Annual Convention of the Japanese Psychological Association numbers about 500 every year, and if we include papers at the conventions of regional associations and other divisional societies, it will number more than one thousand.In Japan there are several psychological journals but most of them are written in Japanese, some with English summary.Only two are written in western languages: Tohoku Psychologica Folia and Japanese Psychological Research, but they are each publishing yearly only several original works, chiefly in experimental psychology.It is an urgent task for us to open a channel of communication and feedback from the East to the West.Of Asian psychologists Indians and Chinese have been most international in their communication, but communication and cooperation among Asian psychologists has been relatively slight in the past.Our new journal" Psychologia -An International Journal of Psychology in the Orient -" aims first to be a channel from the East to the West with the cooperation of Asian psychologists.Further, we intend to have here a space for international discussion between psychologists of the East and the West.At first we start chiefly with Japanese works to be presented in two issues a year, but by 1959 we expect to expand to a quarterly and to include more papers from other Asian psychologists.Financial solvency requires subscriptions.We are confident that the journal will prove useful and interesting.There is much good research in Japan, and many lines of good research are developing in India and other Asian countries.We beg the psychologists of the world to support our journal for the promotion of international communication and cooperation, the major task of the latter half of this Century .We sincerely hope that our journal will contribute something to the progress of psychology and to the happiness of the people of the world by integrating the cultures of the East and the West.We wish to express our deep gratitude to these representative professors of America, Europe and India who kindly accepted
