The article focuses on the major aims of reconstruction. The need of an early determination of aims as well as means is emphasized by the fact that two programmes, on the whole diametrically opposed to one another, are already practically taking shape. One, represented by the Overman bill, would result in leaving virtually everything to the U.S. President. This is a procedure which is likely to appeal strongly to Democrats. Thus, the only hope for a reconstruction that shall endure lies in the continuance, albeit by much more democratic methods, of a liberal, even a radical, programme.
