Abstract
ONE of the consequences of the social disturbance and distress which have accompanied the widespread destruction of private property in the indiscriminate bombing attacks on London and other areas has been the realization that problems of social reconstruction have to be faced now and cannot be deferred until the end of hostilities is in sight. Whatever evacuation or shelter policy may now be adopted must be part of a long-term policy, keeping in mind the possibility of a long war, and designed to conserve morale and resources as effectively as possible. Short-sighted temporizing and timid palliatives are a public danger, and can no more be tolerated than the administrative incompetency from which they spring.
