MexicaA Trade

TRADING WITH MEXICO. By Wallace
Thompson, Published by Dodd, Mead
IN THIS book we are shown a Mexico
controlled by "an animating power
which is not the idealism nor the
self-sacrifce OF elevated rulers, but the
worship Of wealth alone" Working
against this mad alteration of selfish
and ephemeral prosperity Is the force
or foreign invested capital Mexicans
OF to-day see in wealth the ideal do,ni-
nance. 1t rules in Yucatan. where II
has destroyed the individual. There,
where two distinct capitalistic interests
clash, is carried on a battle that NAV
spell greater disaster If continued to
any length Of time. Mr.. Thompson
asserts that economic security can
come only when the political factor is
eliminated and the problem Of Mexican
oil becomes one Of the men of one
nation dealing directly with those of
the other, the foreign business man
meeting the Mexican to complete trade
deals with no shadow Of the Mexican
political system cast upon them. This
is but one Of the many angles Of the
commerce of our neighboring republic
treated in this book, which, written by
one who has sat on the inside, is Of
marked value for him who is in any
way interested in the trying Mexican
problem.

MEMBER OF IMAGES Hy Norma
Loriner. Published by Brentano's
THE old adage about the course of
true love never running smooth
Is abundantly confirmed in this
romantic novel of sunny Sicily. The
principal characters in the first part Of
the novel are Salvatore Mazzini, a
nender of classical images; his beauti-
ful sister, Zita; his employer, a smooth
but treacherous Austrian count and
q Scotch girl, Christine Lovat. The
curtain falls for period of ten wears
after the count has married Christine
and spoiled Zita's romance by his un-
welcome advances.
At ths end Of the ten years interval
there is considerable shifting, so far
as the external circumstances of the
characters are concerned. Christine's
marriage has proved unhappy and sh,
has gone to work On the other hand

IN Which Christine is forced to choose

LIFE AND LETTERS OF s1r w1rrprr
LA RlER. by Oscar Douglas Shelton
IN two volumes. Published by Tho Cen.
tury Company. S.
II N reading through these two mas.
sve volumes one is sometimes
x tempted to ask whether Profes.
sor SHELTON set out to write a life
Of Sir Wilfrid Laurier or a historv Of
Canada. All the essential fact. of
Canada's political and economic de-
velopment during the last fortv vears
are set forth in full detail and tho
amount Of space devoted to Sir Will
frids more purely personal concerns
is relatively slight.
However, Sir Wilfrid's long career as
leader Of the Liberal party and q. Pre-
mcr Of Canada fully justifies the his
torical method employed by his bIorra-
pher. Moro than any other man, per-
haps, Sir Wilfrid is intimately identi-
fed with the making Of modern Canada
His interest in politics did not disap-
pear even with old age and failing
health, and he fought the Borden gov
crnment on the conscripton issue with
all the vigor Of his younger days.
Through the mazc Of politics and the
battle cries of "Rouges" and "Blcus''
and Clear Grits," three fundamentally
important issues may be discerned
There was first the problem Of eco
nomic development, the attracting of
immigrants to fiji up the great unset
tied lands Of Western Canada, the
opening up Of new railways, the en-
couragement Of trade and industry
Then there was tho problem Of Can
ada's relation to the British Empire.
And somewhat intertwined with this
latter problem. there was the difficult
and delicate question of adjusting re-
lations between the French Canadians
of Quebec and their English speaking
fellow countrymen.
In his attitude toward all these
problems Sir Wilfrid reveals himself
as clear visioned moderate. practical
and experimental, rather than dogmatic
IN his political conceptions, willing to
learn from experience and not afraid
to change his mind. Such a personality
was splendidly fitted for leadership in
young and growing country, where
the most patient and considerate
craftsmanship was often REQUIRED to
counteract tho possibilities Of dis.
astrous racial and religious friction
which were inherent in the mixed popu-
lation Of the country.
Sir Wilfrid was always clad to assist
the legitimate industrial expansion of
Canada, but he set his face firmly
against the exercise Of undue influence
upon the government by the large
business interests. He did not in the
least share the antiBritish feeling of
some Of the French Canadians in
Quebec and as Premier he was alwavs
tactful in his consideration of imperial
interests. But he was not attracted
by Joseph Chamberlains ambitious
schemes for developing q closer politi
cal and economic connection between
England and her dominions and colon
les. Laurier's formula for Canada in
its relation to England was: A nation
within an empire.
