257 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. vii (1948)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0257 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD GREAT changes in the peace settlements have occurred since the editor accepted responsibility for the preparation of this volume a year ago. Since that time the five satellite treaties have been signed, ratified, and applied, the hopes for early treaties with Germany and Japan have disappeared, the prestige of the United Na- tions organization has been steadily undermined, the economic and political plight of the world has worsened, and the cleavage between East and West has grown wider. The editor wishes to thank all of the contributors for their admirable spirit of co-operation in adjusting their contributions to meet the requirements of changing circumstances. No contribution could follow a stereotyped pattern; but especially problematical were the articles dealing with the situation in Germany, Austria, Europe as a whole, and the Far East. Great courage was required to analyze the contemporary condition of international law. The call for a United States of Eu- rope was made with a felicitous combination of idealism, common sense, and prac- tical politics. The article on the world economy could only be written with com- prehensive understanding of the shattered remnants of the prewar world economic structure, accompanied by insight into its restoration, and willingness to foretell its future. The editor wishes especially to thank Dr. Ernest S. Griffith for his suggestions and for reading much of the manuscript; and Dr. Francis O. Wilcox for aid with the outline and subject matter. In acknowledging the contributions it should be emphasized that the individual articles have not been altered, that they represent the views of the contributors, and that they in no way are the views of the special editor. THORSTEN V. KALIJARVI vii
