This paper examines a recurrent debate about the rationale of contractual liability: whether the central object of contract law is to facilitate human interaction by respecting individual choices, or if it is in large part to redistribute wealth, power, and advantages generally. The debate between defenders of freedom of contract and those who would use contract law to advance schemes of redistribution is connected to the long-standing issues between natural-law theories and legal positivism. This paper is divided into two main sections. In the first, the notion of individual autonomy is examined in light of the classical view, most recently advanced by Fried, that the rationale for enforcing contracts is connected to the respect for individual autonomy as such. There is also an examination of the notion of a collective concern, and what it is, from a libertarian point of view, that makes some social goals objectionably collective. The second part of the paper argues that the use of collective resources for the enforcement of contracts brings with it the authority to limit and shape enforcement in the interest of redistribution.
Combining the idea of supersymmetries with the standard gauge procedure an economic scheme for hadrodynamics including all types of its interactions is suggested.

An article written by John Corden, in an earlier issue of the journal, examined the application of the concept of contract in social work practice, drawing on the legal paradigm. This paper develops some of these ideas in a more specific way; it describes the way in which contracts were introduced between the workers and clients of a Family Service Unit After setting out the context in which the idea was introduced, the different features of some contracts between workers and families are reported, along with the views of the different parties. This material is used to illustrate and develop some of the ideas discussed in the earlier paper.

Higman's embedding theorem states that every recursively presented (r.p.) group can be embedded in a finitely presented (f.p.) group. We use the results of part I together with an idea of Aanderaa [1] to show that the embedding can be realized preserving the complexity of the word problem of the r.p. group.

Mr. LUND, Special Assistant to the Chairman of the War Production Board, assesses the place of labor in American war production. The story is an exciting one—a tribute to free labor in a democracy. Labor has contributed in mills and factories; but it has also contributed in the high councils of Government. The structure and spirit of our war production effort which have made that contribution possible are here discussed. That the lessons we have learned in war are applicable in peace needs hardly be *** author, as Director of the Labor Production Division of WPB during 1942 and part of 1943, has been in an ideal position to observe and evaluate labor's role. During that year and a half, the work of the Labor Production Division did much to make that role possibl
