He was in large part responsible for the planning and organisation of the Raid at St Nazaire in mid-1942 an operation which put out of action one of the most heavily defended docks in Nazi-occupied France until well after war's end the ramifications of which contributed to allied supremacy in the Battle of the Atlantic After these two successes came the Dieppe Raid of 19 August 1942 He was central in the planning and promotion of the raid on the port of Dieppe The raid was a marked failure with casualties of almost 60% the great majority of them Canadians. Following the Dieppe raid Mountbatten became a controversial figure in Canada with the Royal Canadian Legion distancing itself from him during his visits there during his later career. His relations with Canadian veterans who blamed him for the losses "remained frosty" after the war. Peter Wright in his book Spycatcher claimed that in May 1968 Mountbatten attended a private meeting with press baron Cecil King and the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser Solly Zuckerman Wright alleged that "up to thirty" MI5 officers had joined a secret campaign to undermine the crisis-stricken Labour government of Harold Wilson and that King was an MI5 agent In the meeting King allegedly urged Mountbatten to become the leader of a government of national salvation Solly Zuckerman pointed out that it was "rank treachery" and the idea came to nothing because of Mountbatten's reluctance to act.

In the 1920s the Imperial Japanese Army expanded rapidly and by 1927 had a force of 300,000 men Unlike western countries the Army enjoyed a great deal of independence from government Under the provisions of the Meiji Constitution the War Minister was held accountable only to the Emperor (Hirohito) himself and not to the elected civilian government In fact Japanese civilian administrations needed the support of the Army in order to survive The Army controlled the appointment of the War Minister and in 1936 a law was passed that stipulated that only an active duty general or lieutenant-general could hold the post. As a result military spending as a proportion of the national budget rose disproportionately in the 1920s and 1930s and various factions within the military exerted disproportionate influence on Japanese foreign policy; 3.2.5 Plate tectonics Etymology 5.8 Financial Performance, British interpreter Hugh Lunghi recounted an embarrassing episode which occurred during the Potsdam Conference when Mountbatten desiring to receive an invitation to visit the Soviet Union repeatedly attempted to impress Joseph Stalin with his former connections to the Russian imperial family The attempt fell predictably flat with Stalin dryly inquiring whether "it was some time ago that he had been there" Says Lunghi "The meeting was embarrassing because Stalin was so unimpressed He offered no invitation Mountbatten left with his tail between his legs.". Following the collapse of Bretton Woods nominal anchoring has grown in importance for monetary policy makers and inflation reduction Particularly governments sought to use anchoring in order to curtail rapid and high inflation during the 1970s and 1980s By the 1990s countries began to explicitly set credible nominal anchors In addition many countries chose a mix of more than one target as well as implicit targets As a result after the 1970s global inflation rates on average decreased gradually and central banks gained credibility and increasing independence.
