Beginnings OF the British Colonial syy-
tenn.

A book which was we'll worth writing
and which when supplemented with the
volumes that will be needed to bring
the treatment Of the subject down to
our own day will deserve a place In
historical libraries is The Origins Of the
British Colonial System. by GEORGE Louis
BEER (Macmillans). The present narra-
tive nominally covers the period from
1878 to 1890, though practically the author
starts In l%se. when Henry VII. granted
to John Cabot and his sons a pat ent
which contemplated not only the dis
covery but also the political acquisition
OF some then unknown lands to the
west OF England. Although In the years
Immediately following some similar enter
prises were authorized by the English
Government. tho movement was prema-
ture and abortive. for several reasons:
In the frst place England was a COM
paratively poor country and did not
have the necessary resources for eIpen-
sive ventures. Then again the coun-
try had not fully recovered from the
destruction wrought by the Wars OF the
Roses, and later the nation was absorbed
to a large extent in the religious ques-
tions raised by the breach between Henry
VIII, and Rome. Lastly. and especially.

bull which divided the newly discovered
lands between Spain and Portugal. Thus

Contemporary German,.

In The Froiution OF Modern Germany,
by WILLIAM HARBUTr DAWSON, author
of Germany aud the Germans 'The
German Workman &c. (Scribners). the
aim has been to trace the transforma-
tlon Of the Germany OF half a century
ago into the Germany we now know. AZ
the transformation has been essentially
economic, economic questions naturally
occupy much OF the space at his disposal.
At the same time several other problems
which closely affect the Internal and ex-
tsrnal development OF the empire are
examined Lest the reader misunder-
stand the motive Of the book. we should
say at the outset that II seeks to exhibit
the Germans in their aspect OF trading
nation. just ~ they are; to describe their
energies. efforts. successes; to tell British
readers what they ought to know and must
know II they would understand how II is
that Germany has gone ahead so rapidly
during recent years.
We should add that in the writer's opin-
ion Germany's industrial competition, FAR
from having reached it's highest point,
will inevitably increase In severity in the
near future. 1t seems to him that several
reasons afford justification for this belief
One is the comparative youth OF German
industry. Another is the fact that ma
tional thought and energy are being de-
voted TO mercantile pursuits with whole
heartedness witnessed in no other CONT
mental country. This is not to say that
the German industrialist and merchant
are superior to their rivals; they do, how
ever. show an absorption in their callings
which in these days is not everywhere
displayed. On the other hand. MIR.
Dawson recognizes some circumstances
which may we'll afford reinsurance in
British circles alarmed by the extent and
causes of German competition. Hitherto
the German industrialist has enjoyed spe-
cially favorable costs Of production. nota-
bly, owing to the lower wages paid and
the longer hours worked, but the exist
ing relationships between capital and labor
afford no reason for assuming that this
advantage will always continue in the
same measure as hitherto. Owing to a
variety OF causes Germany is also fast
losing its character as a cheap country;
its people are no longer Natisfied with the
old simple life; they may have larger in
comes than formerly but they also spend
more. This breaking with the old spirit
of frigality and renunciation may imply
a rising standard Of civilization; it is GER
tain that the effect is 10 increase such inn
portant elements in the cost of produo-
ton us salaries and wages. interest and
profits
On the whole the writer's conclusion
is that British enterprise will have nothing
to fear il only il will follow the large aims
and emulate the courage and resolution
Of the pioneers of its national industry,
who not only gave TO British trade the
preeminent position which is nowadays
being challenged, but who created. di-
rectly or indirectly. most Of those German
industries whose assault is proving most
effective.

TEN which was created as a part OF the
machinery Of the empire, The Reichstag
dissatisfies all parties, and for this dis
satisfaction the parties themselves are
commonly blamed. By it's constitution,
however, the Reichstag is an attempted
compromise between theories OF govern
ment essentially incompatible-the active
monarchical theory embodied in the local
constitutions Of most Of the constituent
States and the democratic theory en-
bodied in the Western parliamentary
system exemplified in England. II Is
true that the Reichstag is elected by man
