	From Revolution to Reconstruction: Essays: The League of Nations: The League of Nations
		The League to Enforce Peace pressed for the submission of future international disputes to arbitration, and for sanctions to be applied against those countries who refused to submit their disputes to pacific settlement.
		Japan's delegate on the League Commission at the Paris Peace Conference, Baron Makino, proposed a sentence be added to the Covenant's preamble stating that the members of the League accepted the principles of the equality of nations and races, and the just and equal treatment for nationals of all countries.
		League sanctions were having a definite impact on the Italian economy, but soon proved insufficient to derail Mussolini from his course of action against Abyssinia, mainly because they did not include precisely those vital raw materials—oil, coal, and rubber—that he needed to continue the war.

	The social impact of economic reconstruction in Vietnam: A selected review: Discussion Papers: Publications: ...
		This trend was also reflected in the literature with a greater discussion on social issues, in particular on the general social impact of economic restructuring and the effect on specific groups such as workers and urban dwellers, peasants and the rural population, and on different regions and provinces throughout the country.
		According to these papers, the reconstruction process began in what was a very difficult and challenging time: in the mid-1980s Vietnam was deeply engulfed by a severe social and economic crisis and, was regarded by the international community as being on the "brink of bankruptcy".
		Social stratification is not only evident in differences in income but also impacts upon the quality and quantity of services available to a particular group: it is the cost of education, medical treatment, social insurance and housing that not everyone is able to meet.

	Normative Psychology of Religion: Social Reconstruction
		Social reconstruction, as a deliberate and conscious endeavor to change the basic order of society into something different from what it ever was before, is new in the world.
		Rather the issue is between disastrous social decline by reason of the continuance of institutions which are no longer fitted to meet the needs of new ways of living and that change of the social order which so adapts it to new ways of living that we are able to avoid disaster.
		We must have regular agencies for conducting a continuous reconstruction of the social order to make it fit the requirements of ways of living which are always rapidly changing by reason of new machinery and new knowledge, with all that flows from these.

	Of charters and justice: The social thought of F.R. Scott, 1930-1985 Journal of Canadian Studies - Find Articles
		Communism was not entitled to call itself socialism because it was "a negation of the most fundamental part of socialism, namely its respect for the individual human being."(f.37) Scott couched his socialist revisionism in a defence of liberal democracy.
		He explored, as well, the idea of a progressive, dynamic account of social and economic rights, although in their capacity to compel legal protection from the state the latter were, he still believed, in an inferior position to fundamental freedoms.

	EH.Net Encyclopedia: Harold Adams Innis
		Harold Innis has been called "the first Canadian-born social scientist to achieve an international reputation" and "the father of Canadian Economic History." He was the second president of the Economic History Association (1942-1944) and the fifty-fourth President of the American Economic Association (1951).
		In recommending reorganization of the Canadian Social Science Research Council in 1968, Mabel Timlin stated that in the beginning elaborate organization was not needed because Innis knew everyone.
		With respect to these cleavages, Innis found himself in opposition to Frank Underhill and the socialist League for Social Reconstruction, which was active at the University of Toronto.

	From Revolution to Reconstruction: Essays: The League of Nations: Notes
		Although Woodrow Wilson is often viewed as the sole "father" of the League of Nations, especially by U.S. historians, he was not the first to propose its creation officially, but instead elaborated on, and added to, ideas propounded on the subject by others.
		Even his famous Fourteen Points—some of which were incorporated into the League Covenant—were only the barest outline of what the League later comprised, and did not represent a functional organizational scheme, even in part.
		In the early summer of 1935, a "Peace Ballot," sponsored by the British League of Nations Union and organized by Lord Cecil, was distributed to voters throughout Great Britain soliciting their opinions regarding British membership of the League, including the use of economic and military sanctions against aggressor nations.

	Social Realism
		Because of the desperate economic and social conditions of the 1930s, artists developed a renewed interest in displaying the plights of laborers and disenfranchised individuals (the Ashcan School had dealt with these themes earlier, at the turn of the 20th century).
		Although social realism is defined primarily by its message and political leanings rather than its style, it is often associated with the hard-edged muscular forms popularized by Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco.
		He showed his commitment to social reform and leftist causes by becoming the first president—in 1935—of the Harlem Artists Guild, an offshoot of the left-wing Artists' Union whose members mobilized to deal with the concerns of fl cultural workers whose needs they felt were not being addressed by the larger downtown-based organization (Timmerman, 21).

		Although the exact number of arrivals during Reconstruction is not known, the state Bureau of Immigration estimated that in 1873 as many as 125,000 people arrived, over 100,000 of these being from older Southern states.

		What did was a much softer version of socialism which played down the class-struggle and historical dialectical parts of Marxism and emphasized the merits of combining some central planning and direction of market economies with the political institutions of liberal democracy.
		In Canada democratic socialism came into being through the adroit melding of a number of existing progressive movements under the guidance of a group of Canadian intellectuals organized as the League for Social Reconstruction.
		The government should distribute a "social dividend" to everyone and design this distribution in such a way that it would have to be spent, not saved, ensuring that all output would be consumed.

		Bush is counting on two decades of "Social Security is unsustainable" Chicken Little rhetoric to scare the vast majority of young workers to withdraw their money from the system, which, in turn, would ensure that the Republicans' scare tactics become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
		Young People's Socialist League rejects any and all attempts to privatize Social Security, which is a program for the public good and thus should remain in the public's hands.
		We reject the idea that there is a Social Security "crisis" except for the one posed by George W. Bush's so-called "reform." The Young People's Socialist League is committed to going beyond reforms, we demand a revolutionary program that will create a new institution of Social Security that will be more effective for all.

		This status still implies that nationalist measures are necessary to address the social and economic problems attributed to foreign domination.
		For more than ten years the anti- 'free' trade campaign has tended to target US capitalism as being responsible for layoffs, cutbacks and other attacks on working people, and has argued that some relief from these ills would be gained by backing Canadian economic sovereignty and the Canadian state.
		The trade deals should be opposed, but as one plank in program that clearly targets Canadian (not foreign) capitalism as the cause of social and economic problems in this country.

		The message from this challenging project is that Classics can benefit from being seen in generic terms, with its history investigated, and its future projected, along sociological lines.
		The Sitz im Leben of the individual scholar (Calder's preoccupation) would presumably be replaced by analyses of the social identity of participating groups (as well, of course, it might, where phenomena such as A.D. Nock's reportedly brutal exclusion of women in the 1950s from his graduate courses [see Calder at 284] need addressing).
		For example, the description of J.H. Finley as "a newspaperman's son" (307) invites some qualification in light of the father's distinguished academic and journalistic career; see Dictionary of American Biography, Suppl.
