THE COLONIAL PROBLEM.

Snow. is a work intended to as
sist the student of American colonial prob
lens in any serious work which he may
be doing along that line It will appeal
particularly to students of international
and other law. to historians. and to other
thoughtful people who find themselves in
need Of information on this subject.
The colonial problem in its present as
pect is comparatively new one. There
have been colonies. OF course. from time
immemoriaI. but their governors have
100 often been content TO follow
The good old rule. the simple plan.
That they should take who nave the power,
and they should keep who can.
In fact, we have not yet gotten very
far away from that code of ethics. and
there are still many who are under the
impression that colonies exist for the
benefit Of the home government TO the
exclusion Of their independent good.
