ABSTRACT
The world's industrial face is being constantly transformed by the energies of technology and, by the transformation, new social and political problems are as constantly born to be faced, solved or side-stepped by succeeding administrations. The impact of industry upon politics is growing steadily; not only is it responsible on the debit side for many of the most difficult problems posed to governments, but on the credit side it provides the sinews of financial stability. Population changes, drifts from the land, increase or decrease in the standards of living, changes in the birth- and death-rates, imports, exports and their associated political features of protection and tariff, are all directly or indirectly traceable to the influence of the sciences. The new system of thought must be applicable to politics, not as readily perhaps, but every bit as surely as to other more amenable branches of human effort.
