Abstract
IN his Cawthron lecture, 1939, “Some Problems of the New World Order”(Nelson, New Zealand: Cawthron Institute, 1939), Dr. G. H. Scholefield, pointing out that the raw material of political science is man in his organization for life, the family, the community and the nation, where the reactions of mankind are not so well known and precise as in biology or chemistry, gives a brief review of the sources of our liberty, the post-War revolutions and the rise of the dictatorships. Tracing the growth of German aggression, he emphasizes that wLh the destruction of dictatorship, the problem of settling Germany in a peaceful and prosperous state will remain and will involve some sacrifice. The great danger in such a war as this is that it may end before our leaders have fully studied how best to make peace and how to arrange international relations in future. This will involve attention to economic matters and the solution of problems of social organization.
