FOREIGN SERVICE
SCHOOL PROGRAM
G. u. to WIDEN Its Scope of
Usefulness in lnterna-
tionaI Affairs.

in the study of international affairs, the
authorities of Georgetown University
have authorized the School of Foreign
Service to publish a periodical to be
known as the Foreign Service Review.
Besides furnishing permanent organ
for the dissemination of its educational
efforts, the proposed publication Is de-
signed to provide forum for the pres
entation of practical problems in inter-
national relations and foreign commerce
III their juridical, economic, political
and social bearings. distinguished
scholars juristS and publicists OF other
countries have been invited to associate
themselves with the new review, as con-
tributors, and two members of the
Georgetown faculty, Rev. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. j., and DR. James Brown
Scott, are already in Europe to COM
plete arrangements for such collabora-
ton.
Change Wrought by World War.
Since the outbreak of the World War
in 1914 there has resulted a wide di-
vergence of opinion and practice In
reference to the fundamental bases OF
International relations. Both interna-
tional justice and peace are impossible,
the sponsors OF the review believe. with
out agreement as to the principles un-
derlying the conduct of international
affairs.
The School of Foreign Service has
noted with concern during the 10 years
of it's existence" said a statement ex-
planning the purpose of the publica-
ton, "the growing divergence of opin-
ion and practice resulting in instabil-
ity and confusion. 1t is felt that the
time is now opportune for a careful
analysis and restatement of the COM
mon principles which would guide
nations in their conduct toward each
other"
Georgetown hopes to make the For
eign Service Review something more
than duplication of existing period
icals devoted to international relations
AS the organ of faculty specialize
ing In the training of an adequate per-
sonnel for the conduct of international
relations and foreign commerce, its
unique character will permit it to be
not only informative but analytic,
critical and constructive,
Padagogic Methods Included.
Among other features it will under
take. from time TO time. to illustrate
certain pedagogic methods In the broad
field of international education now
employed by the school and thus make
available to wider audience the ad-
vantages already eni ,yed by the large
body of representative students who
journey to Washington from every
State and 20 or more foreign countries
to enroll In Its student body.
The School Of Foreign Service will
celebrate its tenth anniversary next
February, and 1t is proposed to launch
the Review before then. A preliminary
m q q
statement OF policy will appear in the
late Autumn, and the first complete
will be ready for January, 1929.
1t Is to be published every two months.
AS at present contemplated, each
number OF the Review will contain four
or five contributed articles from compe-
tent American and foreign authorities:
editorial comment contributed by the
faculty Of the school: Bookshelf de-
voted to discussions OF publications,
ETC; an international chronicle; run
ming review OF major events affecting
international relations. and commune
cations from alumni of the school now
in the foreign service and from other
correspondents. Since the Georgetown
school has graduates In ~ foreign
countries or more, the range Of this
type Of correspondence Is almost ui-
limited.
