author OF "War Finance" etc.
New York: Harper Bros.
These letterlike chapters. written
from London, Paris. Boston and Wall
street during the months Of 1919,
take up certain of the outstanding
problems Of peace finance, much as an

finance. From London the author
looks out over England. finding in
that country the great war loser

point ne makes q study OF the meas

tion of money in the role Of re -crea-
tor of the world to the pursuits of
peace.
