CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTORY

[Sidenote: The needs of social reconstruction]

There is now some very general measure of agreement that if humanity is
to escape the fate of having passed through the ordeal of world-wide
war in vain, the recent era of destruction must be followed by a period
of reconstruction and reorganisation, in which many of our systems,
institutions, customs and beliefs must be tested, and where necessary
refashioned, in the light of our changed ideals and points of view and
of the widened experience of human needs and possibilities which our
existence through these years of conflict has brought us.
