The function of The Political Quarterly is to discuss social and political questions from a progressive point of view; to act as a clearing house of ideas and a medium of constructive thought. It is not tied to any party and publishes contributions from persons of various political affiliations. It is a journal of opinion, not of propoganda. But it has been planned by a group of writers who hold certain general political ideas in common and it is not a mere collection of unrelated articles.Contents: Is Stalin Weakening or the Soviets? by Leon Trotsky. The Choice Before the Labour Party by R. H. Tawney. The Committee on Minister's Powers by William A. Robson. British Policy at the Disarmament Conference by W. Arnold-Forster. Briand by Emil Ludwig.

Leonard Woolf (1880-1969) spent seven years as a colonial administrator in Ceylon: 'He served for seven years, at Jaffna, Kandy, and finally, Hambantota where, as the youngest assistant government agent in the service, he administered 100,000 Sinhalese in a district of 1000 miles. There he continued what he later called his anti-imperialist education. Striving to improve the lives of the villagers with an efficiency that was at times ruthless, he became increasingly ambivalent about his government's mismanagement of jungle agriculture, the absurdity of one civilization imposing itself on another, and the hypocrisy of the British failure to prepare its colony for self-government. Returning on leave to England in 1911, Woolf began The Village in the Jungle (1913), a novel that movingly reflected these concerns' (DNB). First published by Edward Arnold, it was dedicated to his wife, Virginia. The Editor of this edition, Yasmine Gooneratne (b.1935) is a Sri Lanka academic, poet, essayist and short story writer.
