In its meeting Thursday night the Council on Post-war Problems will launch a two part program of activities for the second half year. At Harvard the Council will conduct extensive seminars and will sponsor weekly radio broadcasts, while on a national scale the group is taking the lead in setting up an intercollegiate magazine.
The first part of this program is already well under way. The four committees established in December have held their initial meetings and developed programs of study. The fields which they cover are: International political organization, international economic planning, international social problems, and domestic problems.
The first broadcast of the Council at the end of last term on "Our War Aims in the Far East" demonstrated the round table method that will be followed in the weekly broadcasts this winter. These will consist of discussions between professors and members of the Council on major problems of the post-war world, and will fellow the course of study that the Council is pursuing.
But the most significant work of the Council will be in the intercollegiate sphere. The aim of the projected magazine is to unite all college groups working in the post war-field into a concerted force for a just world order.
Editorially it will favor no particular blueprint of the future, but will attempt to cultivate every type opinion that is aimed at achieving the principles of liberty and equality. It will devote itself in the main to an analysis of the obstacles to the sort of world we want, with the idea of formulating the general principles of reason into a practical policy.
