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

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0260 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD IN the past twenty years we have occasionally published issues dealing with the current problems of some foreign country. Two of the most recent ones have been devoted to a survey of the impact of enemy occupation on the social life of a defeated nation (The Netherlands During German Occupation, Vol. 245, May 1946, edited by N. W. Posthumus) and to a study of the postwar adjustment of a liberated country (Belgium in Transition, Vol. 247, September 1946, edited by Smith Simpson). The issue now in your hands presents some of the difficulties and struggles of a defeated people which, while under the occupation of the armies of the victors, is somehow trying to rebuild its ruined material and spiritual life. Like the earlier volumes mentioned, this one has been written in the country in- volved. It has been edited by Professor Adolf Sch6nke, eminent jurist and pro- fessor of law at the University of Freiburg i. Br. Dr. Sch6nke planned the volume at our invitation and selected the authors, who, with two exceptions, submitted manuscripts written especially for this issue. It is unfortunate that Dr. Sch6nke found it impossible to secure any author from the eastern zone. The discussion therefore centers almost exclusively on the problems of western Germany. Lack of space has prevented the inclusion of articles on all aspects of the reconstruction processes, and illness on the part of some contributors has resulted in last-minute gaps which could not be satisfactorily filled. Nevertheless, we hope that the reader of this issue will gain some insight into the current attitudes and efforts of the German leadership in the western zones. The articles arrived during July and August 1948. They were translated by Mrs. Maria Aschaffenburg, Dr. Otto Pollak, and Dr. Leo Fishman. The trans- lation and editing of the manuscripts have been made doubly difficult by the ab- sence of any uniform terminology in documents on Germany issued by our Gov- ernment. THORSTEN SELLIN Vii
