It combined a refuge for victims of bombing raids, a community farm and market garden and educational activities directed towards the regeneration of society. Also announced is the death of Max Plowman, the previous editor, at the age of 57. "His death was attributed to the severity of his exertions at the Adelphi Centre."This issue is mainly concerned with the war. Among the contents are an article by Murry on Rudolph Hess; "What is War?" by Reginald Reynold; and poems by Elizabeth Welch MacKenzie and Alex. Comfort.
