Irish Nationalism
By w. B. MCCORMICK.

TINE "Irish question" is most often
i discussed in the United States by
persons who never read history of Ire
land, who could not tell what sept"
was, who never heard of "Silken Thomas"
and Layen't the vaguest idea as to why
Daniel O'Connell had " ba elected three
times before he could take his seat in the
House of Commons. But Francis Hackett,
author Of Ireland: A Study IN National
ism, does not belong to this order. Him
self born Irishman long resident in the
United States, Mr.. Hackett writes of his
troubled native land with a profound
knowledge and not too much of the pas
sionate feeling which 50 often marks snd
mars political studies of Ireland. And
considering he was born in Kilkenny
famed for its pugnacious cats-this in it.
self Is no mean accomplishment.
Mr.. Haekett divides his text into four
parts-Inirodactory, Causes, Conse-
qnences and Remedies. Mr. Dick found it
impossible to keep King Charles's head
out OF his famous unfinished memorial,
and most writer's on international political
topics find it equally impossible to keep
the speeches of President Wilson out of
their subject matter. Thus we find here
Mr.. Wilson's suggestion to Congress re-
garding the giving of "a larger measure
of self government to the people of the
Philippines" as the text on which Mr..
Hackett bases his brief study of The I'm
perial Relation, and he links to the Presi-
dents words what Matthew Arnold said
forty years ago about self-government for
Ireland: That we shall never solve the
Irish question without first understand
ins it. To make the question understand
able has been Mr.. Hackett's aim.
We pass over the parable he uses to il
lustrate the early conditions of ireland
with regret and the certain assurance that
any reader unfamiliar with that phase Of
its existence would not be enlightened as
to what the parable of the fishermen
means, except for the final sentence, AIts
justice I'm dreaming of, and my dream
Is million years old" Just what is JUS
flee to the Irish is the impeachment to the
realization of this nocturnal ambition.
Following the parable there is discussed
among the Causes of Irelands condition
An Economic Approach, the moral of
which is found in. Lord Acton's phrase,
"Almost all that has been done for the
good of the people has been done since
the rich lost the monopoly of power, since
the rights of property were discovered to
be not quite unlimited"
1t is not pretty picture Mr.. Haekett
summarizes here, pithily and with more
heat than he usually displays, but it is one
that shows TO the bitterest dregs of the
cup what is the real eause of the Irish
mans dream of justice. Follows a section

Political Handbooks of
Switzerland and Canada

OR the first time since 1915, when
L the World Book Company began to
issue its promised series of Government
handbooks with Fritz-Konrad Kruger's
Government and Politics Of the German
Empire it adds to its list. Government
and Politics IN Switzerland, by Robert C.
Brooks, and Evolution of the Dommion Of
Ca"oda, by Edward Porritt, are the ad-
ditiona The promise held out by Kru-
gers work, which in spite of its naive pro-
Germanism, is an admirable book of ref
ernce, Is more than borne out by these
two wholly comprehensive and authorita-
tive volumes.
Professor Brooks's work on Switzer-
land, while primarily designed as a text
book for college and university courses,
is also a handbook on Switzerland that
every reader who likes to have some books
of reference in his library may buy with
the certain assurance that in this one he
will have book well worth while. The
work includes studies of the physical
basis Of the Swiss Federation, the land,
people, industrial and social conditions;
the development Of the Federation and all
its related governmental branches; Swiss
party organizations; the organization and
functions OF the Cantons, including sep
arate study of the so-called Landsge-
meinde Cantons; Federal finance and com
munication and transportation, and the
Swiss army.
A selected photography appears at the
end of each chapter and q critical
photography at the end Of the text,
to which is added an excellent in
den. Since the authors scheme has
been to make his text a comparative
study of the structure and working of
the Swiss and American Governments, the
volume is Of special interest to all of US
who are interested In the problems of de-
mocracy.
Mr.. Porritt's contribution to this series
is cast In rather different mould, as is
only natural. He begins with a study of
the British overseas dominions, a chapter
shos - Va Unusual III OAtdACe 2uu value In
itself. he then takes up the physical fea-
lures of the Dominion of Canada, the dis
tribution of its population and its geo
graphic and economic divisions, its his
torical evolution down to the Confedera-
ton in 1867. To its purely governmental
and political aspect he gives nine chap
tiers that tell the story of the separate
units OF the Government and make clear
the national policies Of the Dominion and
of Canada, distinction that is made plain
in the text In his introduction Mr.. Por-
rift pays handsome compliment to the
Connecticut State Library at Hartford for
its collection of material for the study of
Canadian history and politics, which sis
remarkably large and complete" In com
mon with its fellow volume this book has
an excellent photography and index.
