Abstract
STRESSING the general problems rather than details, Mr. Wells in a series of four short but brilliantly written chapters emphasises the necessity for the deliberate readjustment of the social mechanism, so as to realise the possibilities of human expansion that are now running to waste and disaster. He holds that, if an effort is to be made at all to find a way out from catastrophe to a new lease of life for civilisation, the main part of it should come from America, as no other country has the necessary freedom of speech and mind left and all other communities are confused by the war threat.
