ABSTRACT

Advocates of economic and social reform at home as well as champions of peace and disarmament on the foreign affairs front had been promoting their positions for many years - generally all their adult life for the somewhat younger domestic affairs group and at least since World War II for the foreign affairs contingent. They have been leaders and influentials in the development of ideas on domestic reforms and foreign affairs. But most count their work as a failure and seem to find no way at present of carrying out their goals or even influencing others to join the battle. It would not be fair to say they are in despair, but optimism based on a step-by-step plan for achievement is simply not present.
