Aims Of Italy
Ferrero Tells What the League
Should Do for His Country

ing to other Allied nations vast stretches
of territory in Asia and Africa-under p
mandatories from the league of nations.
The author believes in league If
nations which will supplant the holy
alliance of other days. But he con-.
tends that it should fully respect na-
tlonality, that it should admit only
states recognizing the principle of pop-
ular sovereignty and that it should as
sumo effective control over armaments
HIS book was written before the
present simulacrum of a society of
nations was evolved at Paris. The
society, as we know it.. does not assume
ettectlve control of arinaments. 1t has
yielded to the principle of nationality
SO lar that 1t retain only the faintest
adumbratlon of super natural author
lty. whether 1T has set up popular SOW
erelgnty as prerequisite of admis-
sion within its circle remains doubt
full: And Italy, because her national
lstlc claims have been sighted, NAV
not even become charter member oft
Professor Ferrero's message to the
American public has thus been made
obscure by occurrences which he did
not anticipate. 1t would be interesting
TO know what he thinks now of the
league of nations as the balance wheel
OF the new Europe. Would he predict
for 1t as great vitality and as pacific
an influence as the Holy Alliance en-
joycd?

! (Author of Pan -Germanism, The Winning

THE SOCIETY OF FREE STATES BY
I2" Dwight W. Morrow. Published. by
Among the cloud of witnesses who
have come forward to offer us their
testimony upon the problems of a
troubled and agonized world and only
too often to thrust upon US insistently
their infallible solutions for their
remedy there have been only too few
who could raise a presumption that
they knew anything of value to tell us
and of those still fewer who could
make us believe that they were at lib
erty to tell it. So many have been
openly prejudiced in favor of idealism
or of the existing order of things that
they were discredited as witnesses or
experts. But Mr.. Morrow is different
from the majority. He has had inti
mate contact with affairs in America
and abroad before the war and after;
he also has known men in the mass as
we'll as Individuals, he again has
honestly tried to inform himself on
history, diplomacy, internationalism,
law (aside from his legal training and
practice); not with the idea that he
or all, but with an anxiety to see the
many facets of his subject and to learn
what an honest man could. And he has
learned a great deal which many will
commend and admire.
Best of all, the result has been an
attitude of mind which is above all
praise and which is his real quaihca-
tion to speak. He says wise and peril
nent things about difficult matters, ma
tional and international, which are
clearly the results of close, relevant
thinking and of broad experience with
men and affairs. This book may be
nothing better than opinion, but it
contains to my thinking the opinion
of a man worth while and one whose
opinion is, therefore, worth careful
consideration from any one. What he
says is so temperate and fair, and his
style is so good in its craftsmanship
that the book is a delight to read.
Diplomacy Still Essential
| have not read all the books on this
subject, by any means, but have not
happened to read better summary
than this of the development during
the last centuries of the clash between
the separatist spirit of nationalism
and the cooperative ideal of inter
nationalism, nor seen a clearer state
ment of the usefulness of each. To
him internationalism is neither new
nor perfect; diplomacy is indispen-
sable if not always the result of wisdom
or unselfshness; the imperfections of
human nature both in the individual
and in the mass are very real diff
culties in the path of peace He has a
keen sense of the interrelation of
political, economic and legal factors;
commercial history contributes its
share.
The real difficulty is that two
streams of influence come to us out of
the past which are apparently irrecon-
cilable but which must be reconciled.
"The real problem of the peace con-
ference is the problem of reconciling
/ the desire of men for world order with
their desire to develop their own gov
ernments in accordance with their ma
tional aspirations-the old conflict be-
tween order and liberty. If we want

A Murder and a Mystery

THE SECOND BULLET. BY Robert Orr
Chipperfeld. ESQ pages. S1.50. Robert
: M. Mcbride e. Co.
The publishers describe this story
as "a book of thrills and surprises. y
Which, of course, is all that is re-
CURED of a mystery. While it is high
ly desirable in any case, the average
reader of crime novel does not de-
mand the style of Henry James or
the wit of an Irwin Cobb.
The thrills in Mr.. Chipperfield are
more or less a matter of how easily
one is thrilled. But the surprises are
absolute. He carries his reader
through a labyrinth of adventure, with
an apparently guilty person at every
turn. First you are surprised that
one of the characters is the murderer,
then you are surprised that he is not.
The greatest surprise of ALL which is
quite as it should be, is the discovery
of the real slayer.
Not brilliant in style, not remark
eble in character drawing, Mr.. Clipper
field gives us mystery story that is
worked out in fine detail of incident
and an interesting picture of the mur-
derer. Lovers Of this type of fiction
will doubtless stay up all night to
finish the story.
