A short time ago the workings of our democracy engaged the active interest of relatively few people; today, for diverse reasons-mostly economic -the policies of the government and the effectiveness with which they are carried on concern and interest a great many. Engaged as we are in a series of new experiments in political control of eco- nomic matters, the instrumentalities for exercising this control as- sume added importance. There exists not only the need for combating the age-old evils of waste, extravagance, inefficiency, and corruption, but also the occasion for developing new means of controlling an ever increasing part of our social life. The state of contemporary opinion concerning these matters should prove both interesting and instructive. This volume covers a wide range of subjects. The aim has been to present points of view on certain broad aspects of government rather than to make an intensive study of any particular field. The interdependence of each branch of government with the others is so intimate, and all touch us as citizens so constantly, that it seems worth while occasionally to survey the operation of the whole struc- ture. While this treatment has the disadvantage of reducing the opportunities for presenting contrasting points of view on particular subjects, it is our hope that it will justify itself on the basis of greater general interest. The articles necessarily represent the opinions of the several con- tributors. If we do not concur with all that is written, we at least can enjoy the equal pleasure of disagreeing. CLARENCE N. CALLENDER
