Abstract
THE word ‘science’ normally connotes physical and chemical science to the public mind and the lay press, to whom biological science is part of medicine, and it is not realized that there is also a science of world affairs and economic problems. Yet if the problems of peace, already beginning to be agitated, are not this time solved largely in a scientific manner instead of being left to politicians and international financiers, the result will be no better than the unsuccessful attempt at a new world which came into being after the ill-fated Treaty of Versailles.
