Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labour in Transition: A Survey of British Industrial History Since 1914 Oi social affairs it has been said, war does but accelerate tendenmes already in existence. In the' long run, and on the national scale, the statement is probably true and even in the short run and on the scale of the individual groups and sections of a complex community, it holds good in so far as the sudden assertion of an exacting national purpose demands the utmost of whatever serves, or can be made to serve it, While imposing a drastic test on all social dispositions. It is with the historic application of that test, more especially to the industrial groups of the community, that the following chapters deal. In the result, the numerical and the psychological strength, the functions, the inter - relations, the political status of those groups have been profoundly altered; and in this respect alone, to speak of no other, we are a fundamentally changed society. Things will be different after the used to say six years ago. They are, With a vengeance. This book is an attempt to explain how and why.
