FOREWORD

For

more

than

one

reason

it

is

a

pleasure

to

write

this

brief

prefatory

note

to

the

July

volume.

This

is

the

three

hundredth

volume

of

THE

ANNALS,

which

began

publication

in

1890.

It

also

marks

a

significant

departure

by

the

Academy

from

a

practice

which

has

been

followed

consistently

since

1913-with

one

excep-

tion

in

1920-of

devoting

its

annual

convention

to

questions

of

international

rela-

tions.

The

papers

contained

in

this

volume

were

delivered

at

the

Annual

Meeting

held

on

April

1

and

2

in

Philadelphia.

The

topic,

Internal

Security

and

Civil

Rights,

shows

the

keen

awareness

of the

Academy’s

program

committee

that

this

has

become

since

the

last

war

one

of

the

most

important

public

issues

in

the

United

States.
