Of the thirteen papers which make up this volume certainly eight or nine deal with general tendencies and hence justify the title. Even the remaining papers consider crescent problems which have to be faced by a large part of humanity. Many a student of society is a monist, finding in some one tendency the key to what is happening in the disturbed sections of mankind. But as for me I am a pluralist; I think I see several such keys. One is the radiation of culture from the advanced to the backward peoples as described in Chapter I. Another is the suspension of the survival of the fittest as set forth in Chapters II and III. The intensification of capitalism is the theme of Chapter V. Chapters VI and VII bring out the culture conflict between East and West. The next two chapters disclose certain problems and experiences of the student of world conditions. "The Military Mind" portrays a type that pesters at least a fourth of our race. So perhaps the title WORLD DRIFT is not a misnomer.

"Immigration," said to me a distinguished social worker and idealist, "is a wind that hlows democratic ideas throughout the world. In a Siberian hut from which four sons had gone forth to America to seek their fortune, I saw tacked up a portrait of Lincoln cut from a New York newspaper. Even there they knew what Lincoln stood for and loved him. The return flow of letters and people from this country is sending an electric thrill through dwarfed, despairing sections of humanity. The money and leaders that come back to these down-trodden peoples inspire in them a great impulse toward liberty and democracy and progress. Time-hallowed Old-World oppressions and exploitations that might have lasted for generations will perish in our time, thanks to the diffusion by immigrants of American ideas of freedom and opportunity." Eapt in these visions of benefit to belated humanity, my friend refused to consider any possible harm of immigration to this country. He did not doubt it so much as ignore it. How should the well-being of a nation be balanced against a blessing to humanity ? <strong>...</strong></p>
