Abstract
THIS record of a sustained symposium, held in A New York in 1945, provides a book of quite unusual value. With rare exceptions, the contributors play their parts under a strong sense of responsibility, aware both of the urgency of the great matters they are discussing and of the issues that hang upon the finding of a solution. One could wish that they were all equally well agreed concerning the depth of the level at which a solution must be sought. But the actual discussion is marked by the sincerity, the seriousness, and the candour which so great a theme rightly evokes.
