About This Book

Aims and proposals for postwar reconstruction are surveyed across international, political, industrial, fiscal, and social domains. The author argues for an international league to prevent future wars, recommends constitutional and democratic adjustments, and outlines industrial reforms such as representative councils, working hours, and wage considerations alongside religious cooperation. Fiscal retrenchment and management of state expenditure are examined, followed by practical plans for restoring law and industry, improving housing, developing agriculture and afforestation, and reforming legal and political institutions. The account culminates in a call for national unity and moral regeneration to sustain lasting peace.
