Abstract
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S momentous pronouncement on “the great part” which the United States will play in post-war reconstruction will be received with heartfelt relief and gratitude by all who hold fast to faith in the future of democracy as an assurance of justice as between man and man and between nations in the new world order which is to come. Most of all, perhaps, is this clearly appreciated by men of science, to whom it is a fundamental conviction that the progress towards ideals of democracy-freedom of thought and action, justice and tolerance—is to be achieved only by the application of science and scientific modes of thought to the problems of securing the conditions in which alone free institutions can function freely.
