Capitalization of government: the advances
in foreign aggression"
The true optimist, who knows his United
States, will challenge these propositions
and declare that there is no suggestion
OF crisis In our moral. political. economic
Or social conditions. Mr.. George prefers
to assert that there Is crisis. and he sets
forth his views thereon to the extent O.
signed to lead up to his remedy. which
is none other than his late fathers single
tax theory. somewhat refurbished TO suit
the changes that have occurred since the
elder Georges book WAS printed.
II there Is widening of the class chasm
in the United States the process Is facili-
tated by just such works as this In hano,
by tterations OF the dogma that the r1cn
are growing richer and the poor are grow
ing poorer. and that we as q people are
drifting away from our anchorage. warn
f.igs are desirable. Controversies over as
puted points OF polity are correctional bat
appeals to Prejudice-to adopt Mr.. George
typographical style-are certain to make
more difficult the task OF the whole-hearted
refermers who have no theories To al
vance save that the tendency OF the time
is toward betterment, that the working
classes are better or than ever before, and
that there is today a broader opportunity
for the poor man to rise through his own
efforts than the world has at any 2revious
time offered to him. Evils there are. but
they are inherent and not sporadic. Wrongs
there are but they are not Indigenous to
this soil. nor are they the product of the
new day of world activity. Mr.. George
unfortunately loses this point Of view. and
his assault upon Privilege becomes q
mere clamorons appeal to passion. 1t Is.
i'll the last analysis destructive.

feat every variety Of fraud and bad faith
has been used
The evils of the Indian system are due.
according to Mr.. Humphrey. to two points.
first. the wrong principle at the beginning
of the Great Fathers dealings with his In
dian wards. The position, implied and ex-
expenditure of trouble and money was nee
essary in dealing with the weli-disposed In
dams than with the ill-disposed. In other
words, the government was to feed saucy
and mischievous Indians to repletion. while
it permitted peaceful and tractable tribes
to gain bare subsistence by hard work.
Second, the fact that our government, be-
barter in vogue in Congress, while ii rep
resents the selfish local interests, In no way
represents the moral standards of the conn
munity. This fs the reason the abuses in
Indian administration have been suffered
for so long.
Mr.. Humphrey ends by saying:
There Is no quick remedy in an appeal to
the people. The remedy must go deep into
grounded notions of what constitutes free
dom and what really is government by the
people: then it may reach that institution
OF perverted functions. Congress"

The story of Cambridge is In large
measure the story Of England. 1t traces
back to the legendary days, to the myths
OF King Alfred's time. to the period of Eng
lands formation as a nationals entity. The
story of the town and Of the university Is
virtually blended into a whole which cannot
be separated into it's component parts. And
the historian of Cambridge Is forced oc-
casionally to travel far afield and narrate
circumstances which bear upon the national
development in order to explain the peculiar
character of Cambridge as an institution.
Dean Stubs has condensed into this COM
pact volume great wealth Of inforrna
ton, especially regarding the earlier days
OF the university. skilfully rejecting those
tales which are not substantially supported
