Features that attracted me were his observations and personal experience with the difficulty English young people had moving into higher education. They were shunted at an early age into jobs and apprenticeships with no chance to explore opportunities that would lead to a better life. He taught adults in various forms of continuing education and develped definite ideas. His fame gave him access to interviews with both Presidents Roosevelt and Stalin. His impression of President and Mrs. F D Roosevelt, at the beginning of the New Deal I believed to be fair, positve and right on. Having to work through a translator produced a less than satisfactory interview with Stalin. Wells was commited to international planning and the League of Nations. Having experienced the horror of World War I, not knowing what was to come his interest in world government seems logical. It was interesting that he did not include Hitler in his interviews.
