French Views of America

A M e'" s. ss'Ef ss
With an Introduction By J. Mark Baldwin. l2mo.
pp Ill., 25l. Charles Scrbner's Sons.
1t woulds be a grateful task to well
come and to praise this volume, so ad-
mirable are its genera! tone and it's
Obvious purpose. We should, indeed,
always welcome every effort to increase
mutual understanding between the
French and American nations. But
such understanding, to be of value, must
be accurate, and we are, therefore, re-
quirea to correct even the best in
tentioned and most unwilling errors.
With all it's fine qualities and lofty
purpose, this book is marred by numer-
Gus misapprehensions and misrepre-
! sentations, not one of which is pre-
sumably intentional, but many of which
might actually be mischievous if un-
challenged.
Thus the author says of negroes that
while in theory they enjoy the same
social and political rights as the whites,
Sin all places-at the theatre, on the
railroad and the tramway--they are
separated from the real Americans as
by watertight compartment" 1t
should have been made clearer that
such is the case only in certain parts of
the country. Again, it is said of the
average American citizen that, what
ever sect he belongs to, "his faith pene-
trates and forms his tastes, his habits,
the cut of his clothes, the ordering Of
his meals"-which certainly is an ex-
aggeration.
There are more serious errors. The
author says Of the PRESIDENT: "He
alone is responsible to Congress, which,
during his entire term of office. has
no other weapon against him than the
procedure Of impeachment. He is armed
with the veto, which suspends their
DECISIONS" The power of Congress to
override his veto is not mentioned. The
quotation from Washington in praise
Of the militia, standing alone as it
does, gives an entirely incorrect i'm
preston of his views. As for the state
ment that the Constitution can be
modified "in a given state only on ex-
ceptional occasions, and in the Union
still more seldom" it would he difficult
to imagine anything more blindly mis-
leading

An Attempted Analogy With
the United States

A REPUBLIC OF NATIONS BY Raleigh c.
Minor. Syo. PIP. xxx. 3I6. Oxford University
Press.
Thiss serious and thoughtful book
by high authority professor of con-
stitutional and international law in
the University of Virginia), on a topic
of most timely and commanding inter
est. The question of a league of
nations is very much to the fore, and
will be until the issues of the war are
settled, and both commands the sup
port and provokes the opposition of
some of the foremost statesmen and
publicists. All intelligent and earnest
consideration of it is therefore to be
welcomed-such as that in the volume
before us.
Professor Minor draws by far the
most detailed analogy that we have
seen between such a league of nations
and the United States of America; even
to the extent of printing in parallel
columns the Constitution of the United
