Man hat behauptet, die Welt werde durch Zahlen regiert:
dos aber weiss ich, dass die Zahlen uns belehren, ob sie
gut oder schlecht regiert werde.

PREFACE
This, the 102nd issue of THE STATESMAN'S YEAR· BOOK will, the editor and
his colleagues trust, show once again a careful revision of virtually every
page, supplying some major amendments to the text and a large number of
minor modifications and additions to the statistics.
There were fifty countries as signatories of the United Nations Charter in
1945. Membership of that body now stands at 114. This one fact will
help to show the amount of research necessary each· year to bring THE
STATESMAN'S YEAR· BOOK up to date. It could not be achieved without
the unfailing CO· operation of correspondents and friends in every part of the
world. To all of them the editor extends his sincerest thanks.
