Abstract
THE third number of Agenda (London: Oxford University Press. 65. quarterly) is notable for the valuable article on “Reconstruction Research conducted in Britain by the European Allies”, by Ethel J. Lindgren. This article contains almost the first full account of the origin and character of the London International Assembly established as a result of the initiative of the League of Nations Union in the summer of 1941, for purposes of study, discussion and a free exchange of views as private individuals and not as representatives of Governments or parties. Of the five commissions established in November 1941, only the first is concerned with a war-time problem, namely, political warfare. The second deals with the trial of war criminals and to the third was relegated future international organization and security against war, and to the fourth social and economic reconstruction. By the end of January 1942, four sub-commissions had been appointed, dealing with collective security, international organization, economic and financial problems and labour and social questions. The fifth is a joint commission of the London International Assembly and the Council for Education in World Citizenship on the place of education, religion and science and learning in post-war reconstruction. The last to be set up, its membership is large and keen.
