Abstract
The problems of the present world must be approached in a spirit of humility. To indicate the changes which have occurred, the 10 principles of a manifesto to which 2000 psychologists subscribed in the summer of 1944 are examined. Though the principles remain true, they do not come to grips with to-day's problem of peace. As the limitations of the propositions of the manifesto of 1944 are examined several lines of counsel emerge which may be utilized for an improvement of prediction and public advisement. Four suggestions are made in the scientific study of human behavior: (1) a wider grasp of social sciences, (2) direct research at the power problems of society, (3) become participant observers in a wider range of social action projects, (4) apply knowledge and practice to the building of an effective world wide organization of psychologists.
