207 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. xi (1940)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0207 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD IN VIEW of recent developments in the field of American government, it would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of the subject of this volume of THE ANNALS. These developments, conspicuous prior to 1933, have been accentuated since that date, due jointly to the influence of the depression and to the legislative policies of the dominant party in the Nation and in a large majority of the states. Many students have attacked particular aspects of the problem, in restricted areas; it now seems appropriate to attempt for the first time a broad survey of the entire field, which includes most governmental functions and all levels. The Special Editor of this volume is deeply indebted to a great many persons. When the project was first undertaken, a letter was addressed to each of the mem- bers of a consulting group of fifty individuals who were known to be interested and to have worked in some portion of the field. Nearly all of these consultants replied, many of them presenting valuable suggestions as to subject matter or possible authors or both. In choosing the authors, the effort has been made to get a representative group-to give an opportunity to some of the younger men to contribute; to avoid the odor of the lamp by bringing in some men with no academic connection; but withal, to present a well-balanced view of the various aspects of the subject. I should indeed be remiss if I should fail to express my very real appreciation of the splendid co-operation that has been accorded me by all of the contributors. To them belongs the credit for whatever merit the volume may possess. W. BROOKE GRAVES
