“This book is based upon my experiences and activities during three visits to Australia.  My first visit was made in 1927 and extended from early February to late October; my second and longest came almost ten years later, when I spent from December, 1936 until September, 1938 in the country on a grant from the Carnegie Corporation for travel and study; while the third and shortest visit was made in 1940, when I spent September and October there collecting data for a report on Australia’s reaction to the Second World War for the Institute of Current World Affairs...”
