says of the book:
"The desirability of the best pos

but for the progress of the world

hardly to be doubted.
Very intimate understanding and
cooperation must necessarily be
maintained and yet further developed
if they are to discharge their respon-
sibilities most effectively. / am con-

to be one of real use in establishing
such ample knowledge and apprecia-
