EDITORIAL.

This article presents information on the publication details of the periodical "The International Migration Digest." From its inception as a little paper concerned with the problems of one group of people, it has ever broadened its scope to embrace the needs of all migrant peoples everywhere, of all nations, all races, religions or of no religion. In this still expanding program, the Digest is to become the "International Migration Review," and is to be issued quarterly. It is increasing its committee of valuable consultants and includes some of the most widely experienced men in the field of sociological studies of migrant problems. The variety of material used, the sources of that material all make the Digest the most central and all-inclusive locus from which to explore all avenues of study and findings in the field. Its character is universal. Today, when the surge of the uprooted, of the dispossessed, the refugees, is greater than ever and more simultaneously worldwide, there is pressing need for the fruits of the most disciplined study of the needs and conditions of migrant people. The periodical is the organ of the Center for Migration Studies, itself an integral part of the Center in Rome. The Digest is severely disciplined in its published material. It demands a high standard of scholarship, of technical exactness in its papers.
