DescriptionResponds to two of Griffis' questions. The first question asks if central regions in a nation have unity (using the US South and New England as points of comparison). Wriston answers in the affirmative, stating that the central region maintained unity and exerted cultural influence in the West. The second question is in regards to relations of the US and Korea. Wriston explains that there have been attempts at treaties and legation of the US over Korea, but have at most amounted to the semi-independent status of Korea.
