Abstract
AN admirable report on “The Transition from War to Peace”* prepared by the Delegation on Economic Depressions, of which Sir Frederick Phillips is chairman, has recently been issued by the League of Nations. Although it has received singularly little notice officially, it provides the essential background in the discussions on employment policy which have been stimulated by the Beveridge Report, the Unilever paper, the Nuffield College statement and other publications on that subject ; further, it underlines the recommendations already advanced, that we must think out our policies and measures well in advance, and that we should utilize whatever is possible among the international agencies established to further co-operation during the War. No previous official document has set out so clearly the relations between immediate post-war measures, such as international relief, the removal of industrial controls, rationing and the lowering of taxation, and the larger economic policies for the maintenance of full employment and economic stability.
