country through, so he insists, the
meddlng of the American President.
Mr.. Bulnes does not, of course, con-
fine himself to destructive criticism Of
Mr.. Wilson's disastrous policies. he
frankly declares what, in his judgment,
should have been the American policy:
ITO leave the Mexicans absolutely free
to solve their internal difficulties, re-
lying solely upon national elements.
Only i'm the event that anarchy attacks
foreigners by a systematic, well-tormu-
lated programme shall the United States
intervene, and then strictly in conform
ity with the dictates of international
law" (Mr Bulnes plainly demonstrates
the gross violations of international
law which marked the beginning Of Mr..
Wilson's war against Mexico, in which
we are now involved; in which Mr.. Will
son treated laws and treaties as mere
scraps of paper.O Then he continues:
an case anarchy cannot be brought TO
an end by a salutary reaction in Mexico,
and the Mexican peoples inability 10
establish a tolerable government and
restore social order be plainly demon
strated, then intervention could be un-
dertaken in the name of humanity, based
upon the fact that the United States
had given complete freedom to all the
positive reactionary elements to work
out the nations salvation" In other
words, we might apply TO Mexico the
policy which Cleveland and Mckinley
prescribed for Cuba.
With that counsel Of wisdom and JUS
tice we must take leave of one OF the
most impressive and convincing works
on modern Mexico which we have been
privileged to see; work, slso-it is
an important thing, which too rarely
can be said of translations-in which
the translator is worthy Of the author.

THE REVOLUTION
A New View of Its Causes and
Origins

The Arthur II. Clark Company, Of
Cleveland, sends out an announcement
Of new history of the American Rev
olution which arrests the attention.
The work is called "The Mississippi
Valley in British Politics" and bears
the subtitle, "a Study of the Trade,
Land Speculations and Experiments In
Imperialism eliminating in the Ameri-
can Revolution"
The author, Clarence Walworth AL
word, Phi. D., professor Of history IN
the University OF Illinois, undertakes
TO prove that the traditional view ac-
cording to which the Revolution arose
from the controversy with the sea-
board colonies over the Stamp Act and
the Tea Tax is an erroneous one
That in reality the real problem OF
the British government, only intermit-
tently lost sight of, was the develop
ment and organization Of the western
empire, won in the French and Indian
wars. Actually" says Professor Al
word, "the Stamp Act was merely a
measure to finance Western expansion
the Townshend Act a ministers re-
volt from the Western policies OF his
colleagues.
"For the first time" continues the
publishers announcement, from docu-
mentary sources the true story OF the
various Colonial projects for the occu-
patton Of the West is told. Here Is
told the story Of Connecticut proJec-
tors intriguing against Pennsylvania
projectors and Virginia projectors
against both, Of how the interests in
land speculation OF such men as Gov
ernor Dunmore, Benjamin Franklin
and George Washington were shaping
the course Of Colonial politics-of how
Samuel Wharton, q willy Philadelphls
merchant, was scheming against all
ard enlisting the cupidity OF British
politicians and capitalists In support
Of his schemes until the ministry,
honeycombed with his intrigues, mar
rowly escaped dissolution. Professor
Alvord shows clearly that the west
ward movement was not the result OF
bold but haphaZard feats Of explora-
ton of such men as Daniel Boone, but
instead in the background there con-
stantly appears the big business,
graft. and political intrigue of that
day, anticipating and directing the
pioneer"
The work is based in part upon a
mass OF hitherto unavailable docu.
mentary material in English and
Canadian archives, which, we are in
formed, has enabled the author TO de-
velop his new Interpretation Of British
politics OF the period at home and OF
British policies in America. The era
