Abstract
ACCORDING to the annual report of the New Commonwealth for 1933-34, a clearer demarcation will in future be drawn between the research and propaganda activities of this organisation. Educational and propaganda work will be undertaken by the New Commonwealth Society, which will continue to be subdivided into an international section and the various national sections. Brief reports of the activities of all these sections are included, which indicate the extent to which the scientific study of international affairs is being encouraged in this way. The scientific investigations hitherto carried out by the Research Bureau of the International Section will now be carried out by the New Commonwealth Institute. These activities are guided by an Advisory Research Committee, which includes among its members Major-Gen. Sir F. Maurice, Brig.-Gen. E. L. Spears, Prof. A. Zimmern, Prof. N. J. Baker, Prof. H. V. Temper-ley, President N. B. Butler, M. Nicolas Politis. This Committee will advise upon research work on the principles of international relations, questions of international justice, law and equity, and problems of international security. The publications of the Institute will include monographs and a quarterly review in English, German and French, and preparations are being made for the publication of a yearbook. The work is largely carried out by means of circular letters, but it is also proposed to hold conferences twice a year in different centres. A series of fortnightly ‘round table’ discussions has also been initiated.
