A N English reviewer has been inferring
"A Louise Bryant, wife of John
Reed, from her book on Russia We copy
his inference because of the Interestingly
agonizing effect it is sure to have on both
Mr.. and Mrs Reed and Bryant, Miss
Bryant-whateve her faults-is not a
politician. She is, like most American
lady reporters, very frank. very jolly and
very naive. She loves revolutions, and
when she heard of the fall of the Gar
Nicholas she just had to go-as she her
self, perhaps, would say-and see. what
was doing" Our ambition in life now is
to live to see this reviewers idea of John
Reed from one Of his books. Ten to one
it will be that Reed is shy, modest and re-
firing.
"Never have we met so simple a soul
in journalism" says another English re-
viewer of Miss Bryant. "She is one Of
those enviable people who believe every
thing their associates tell them, if they like
their associates" All part of the sinister
British imperial propaganda, of course,
and dreadful for sensitive, emancipativs
spirits like the Reeds.

BELIEVING that there is trouble
~ ahead for America in the economic
reconstruction rendered necessary by the
conditions arising out of the great war,
Mr.. Edwin Wildman, journalist war cor
respondent, former Vice-Consul-General
Of the United States at Hongkong and
present editor of the Forum, has collected
under the title Of Reconstructing Amer
ica: OR Merit Big JOB, the opinion of
sixty-eight Of our public men on various
reconstruction problems. He begins with
President Wilson and ends with Henry
Watterson.
President Wilson is represented by an
extract from his speech at Manchester In
England, where he made the somewhat
remarkable statement that "unless a man
performs his whole duty he is entitled to
no right" Most people have supposed
they were entitled to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, although they might
be occasionally dere!ict in duty. The SEN
tence illustrates how easily rhetoric may
run away with fluent speaker.
II.
Henry Watterson prods prohibition
with his vitriolic pen and predicts that
tobacco will soon share the fate Of the
demon rum. Between these contributions
from our Chief Magistrate and the great
Kentucky editor are utterances by all
sorts and conditions of men on subjects
of contemporaneous human interest, such
as the Problem of the Railroads, the Pub
lie Control of Wire Communication, Con-
structive Finance, Business and Foreign
Trade After the War, Bridging the Gulf
Between Capital and Labor, Immigration,
Our Merchant Marine, Decentralization and
Unemployment, the Agricultural Outlook
and Why American Education Has Failed.
As an aid 10 thought and conversation
on the numerous present day topics dis
cussed therein this volume may fulfil a
most useful function.
Almost at the outset we have a warning
by Charles Evans Hughes against the dan
ger of using war powers TO control peace
conditions, which cannot be too widely
needed. 'In saving the world" he asks,
shave we lost our republicf' He comedies
that we have acted under the Constitution,
so far as we have harnessed our strength
for war, but wherever in the desire to
take advantage Of the situation for the
purpose Of fastening some new policy
upon the country, there has been resort to
arbitrary power through acts unjustifed

A Miscellany of American Reconstruction

this world, not merely Russia, Germany
and the United States, but the whole
world" Mr.. Felix Frankfurter, secretary
of the War Labor Board, is confident that
the coming reconstruction Of our indus
trial system will bring the workers and
the managers Of our great business enter
prises into closer relations and coOpera-
ton, so that they can meet on equal terms
to consider the factors entering into the
duties of both and then determine on
harmonious action beneficial to both.
The implication Of the title of this vol
ume, that the reconstruction of this coun-
try is "big job" needs no argument to
convince the reader of that fact; but, to
quote Mr.. Hughes again, "the democracy
saved by a world war ought to be able to
supervise great undertakings in fash
ion which will really serve the common in
terest" Only we must avoid hystericd
haste and be sure we are right before we
20 ahead. Mr. Wildman's book ought to
be of service to all who would understand
the economic problems which confront us

by real or substantial relation to a state
Of actual war, such acts will receive the
condemnation they deserve when they are
brought to the determination Of the
proper tribunals"
The false pretence of military necessity
cannot be tolerated as an excuse for gov
ornamental action which would only be con-
stitutional were we still actually at war.
1t is encouraging to find a great party
leader thus alive to one Of the most serious
perils arising out Of the late war.
The familiar plea of former President
Taft, which has given Mr.. Wilson so
much aid and comfort in his campaign for
his specific League Of Nations, is repro
duced by Mr.. Wildman in this book, as
the opinion Of one who commands the
nations respect; but without any express
sion Of concurrence or dissent on the part
of the editor. Postmaster Burle-
son is allotted twelve pages in which to
set forth his argument in favor of the
permanent merging of the telegraph and
telephone systems of the country with
the post Office. If the postal service under
Mr.. Burleson had been equal to what it
was under former administrations his
position would be much stronger; but the
people can hardly he expected to ignore
the regrettable truth that of late years
governmental enterprise in business has
tended toward conspicuous ineficiency.
As Mr.. Hughes has recently pointed out,
''the dovetailing Of Government with bust
ness is apt to injure both" This view is
emphatically shared by Mr.. Clarence II.
Mackay, president of the Postal Tele-
graph Gable Company, who asserts that
the British Government would have
avoided a loss of $2OO,OOO,OOO if it had
not taken over the telegraph forty years
ago and the public would have enjoyed
a much better service.
III.
Much space is devoted to the presenta-
ton of various views concerning the
financial future of this country, most Of
them being characterized by a decided
tone of hopefulness. Mr. Paul NJ. War
burg much misrcads that future off it
does not have in store for New York the
position of world exchange centre, vying
with London as a free gold and discount
market" If we want foreign countries to
continue to buy or goods, however, we
shall have to enlarge our foreign credits.
Nearly all the economists quoted by Mr..
Wildman agree in this. The serious fall
