The article presents a discussion on the social reconstruction in the U.S. and the Great Britain. The social reconstruction program in the Great Britain is distinctly and unmistakably socialistic. It calls for the nationalization of railways, mines, shipping, and electric-power plants. It demands the gradual nationalization of land. It favors the strict control and regulation of all important industries that may be left, for the present, in private hands. In the U.S. social reconstruction might deal with demand and support laws against child labor. Americans might favor pension and insurance legislation.
