Abstract
THE annual report of the New Commonwealth Society for the year ended September 30, 1935, refers to the progress of the international section of the Society leading to the establishment of national sections in the British Empire, France and Germany, while groups are being formed in Holland, Hungary and Spain. The effective membership is now 1,659, drawn from 42 countries. Plans are being prepared for an intensive appeal campaign spread over three years to place the activities of the Society on a self-supporting basis. The research activities of the Society have now been taken over by the New Commonwealth Institute, with Prof. Ernst Jackh as director. The Advisory Research Committee has been further strengthened during the year, and as a result of the response to a research memorandum which was circulated, three series of monographs have been issued, dealing, respectively, with principles of international relations, questions of international justice, law and equity and with problems of international security. Several issues of the New Commonwealth Quarterly have also been published covering the whole field of research undertaken by the Institute, and the Institute participated in a study conference on “Collective Security” organised by the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation.
