lection of reading that the Greeks,
twenty-five centuries ago, had toler-

known in and long before the days of
the Casars. And instead Of nationality
being the cause of the World War, it
seems to me that that internal conflict
was begun with the purpose of break
ing down nationality and subyerting
it to worldwide dominion. But per-
haps Mr.. Harrison takes a different
Wow, since he seems to look upon re-
ports of German atrocities in Belgium
as mere newspaper talk.
One more of Mr.. Harrison's beliefs
must be mentioned. That is. that

our own citizens, to the people of the
islands and to the whole world, as
completely responsible as we were for
the District of Columbia. And now we
are to rcpudiate that responsibility
and beg Japan to join US in a guaranty
of their independence. Shades of
Washington and Webster; or, in Demo
cratic craftsmanship, of jefferson and
Marcy! Has Mr.. Harrison read the
story of our repeated refusals to enter
into any such alien ENHANCEMENT in
the case of Cuba and of Hawaii? And
that most discreditable chapter in the
whole history of our foreign relations,
the story of our fatuous inveiglement
into precisely such compact in the

But, of course, in those cases there

INDUSTRY AND HUMAN WELFARE
By Wiliiam l." chenery. published by
the Macmillan Company. sl.75.
HHE United States was at first an
agrarian country. Gradually, after
the bonds with Europe became tcnuous
or snapped wholly, there came be-
ginning of ali industrial growth Ham
ilton, with his remarkable vision,
recognized the soil as the base of all
industry. Later men, living in years
when the factory challenged the die
tatorship Of the farm, shot glances
beyond the scope of view of Washing
tons wonderful lieutenant. This book
outlines the rise Of industry, examines
the status of the workers family. and
explains the reason for his protest
against the shackles imposed by eco
nomic conditions. The present Ameri-
can industrial situation is ono pro
duced by many elements succeeding one
another in history and accommodating
and problems. Mr.. Chenery
suggests no cures. He gives a reasoned
review of the factors in our national
life that have caused the present acute
state. We must see to it that our
industrial energies are productive of
good and not of waste and conflict.

Stamboul Romance
Exotic Color in Story of
Constantinople

SWEET WATERS. BY Harold Nico,son.
Published by Houghton, Miffin Com
pany.
THERE is an abundance of exotic
color in this story of modern
Constantinoplc. The life of the
Ola byzantine capitai, mixture of the
picturesque and the squalid, with it's
medley of races, its fierce intrigues
and obscure crimes, is calculated to
furnish an admirable background for
any story.
unfortunately, Mr.. Nicolson displays
more conscious sophstcation than
skill IN his writing. After setting up
his stage machinery he doesn't seem
to know just what to do with it. His
hero is rather maddeningly efficient
and cocksure British diplomat; and his
heroine is a Levantine girl, daughter
of an English father and Greek
mother. clumsy, blundering clerk is
a constant foil to the efficient clever
ness of the diplomat; and there is .
tragic episode Of obscure intrigue in
volving the clerk, Hungarian jour
nalist and Turkish officer who be-
trays valuable military secret.
The atmosphere of Constantinoplc
during the strain OF the First Balkan
War is filled in very nicely; and the
author proves himself familiar with
Near Eastern social and political con-
ditions. But one can't get away from
the feeling that he might have written
a batter story with the material at
hane.

TIE CORNERSTONE OF PHILIPPINE
INDEPENDENCE BY Francis Burton
Harrison Illustrated. Published by the
Century Company. s..
r%HE former Governor General of
the Philippines, who owed his
place TO the Vaccinations OF
the chief Filipino agitator for
secession from the United States, CRATE
folly dedicates his book to his official
creator and gives an accounting of the
stewardship in which he indefatigably
endeayorcd to make good his unwritten
commission. 1t was of course highly
commcndablc that he was thus true to
the trust which Mr.. Quezon had re-
posed in him. even though it involved
irging the United States TO break its
faith and repudia;c it's own treaty. and
X IS preeminently fitting that he should
in now putting the formal and literary
seal upon his pious endeavors, identify
himself or his administration wth the
cornerstone of Philippine independ-
ence.
In so doing Mr.. Harrison not merely
gives q detailed and interesting account
OF his seven years administration but
also makes some incursions into ante
oedent history and into political argu-
1nent, in which he is scarcely as happy
o. convincing as he is in pure nara
tive. 1t is difficult to understand why
he should revamp-though without ven
turing to affirm it-thc raucid false
hood about Dewey's promise to Agu-
naldo Of Philippine Independence Of
course. such q promise, had it been
made. would have been vain, as Agui-
naldo would haze known, since Dewey
had not the slightest authority to maky
IT.. But the fact OF history is that
when the Tagal leader came back from,
the exile into which he had been bribed
by Spanish gold TO go, Dewey declined
to make any compact with him or to
make any promises to him. and that
later, when Aguinaldo organized his
"Filipino Republic Dewey and General
Merritt after him, uniformly and ex-
plicitly refused to give him any rccog-
ntion.
That Filipino Republic Mr.. Harri-
son appears TO regard as having been
a genuine and effective system of self
government, which we should have
recognized as a sovereign power. But,
he says. VIC overthrew it by force of
arms land established there an auto
cratic government of our own; which.
ot course, was very wicked thing,
and something which we ought to undo,
slHce there is no room in the United
States Constitution for colonies" Pass
ing by, in sheer despair, that amazing
version of what happened in 1698-'99,
! cannot help wondering if Mr.. Harr-
son, as a good Democrat. has familiar
led himself with the history of our
'autocratic government" in Louisiana
and Florida under those famous Demo
cratic administrators, jefferson, Mon
roe and Jackson; and with the inter
pretation Of the Constitution which
then widely prevailed, that the only
way in which VIC could hold newly ac-
quired territory was in Colonial
status. That Interpretation was doubt

religion would have been strong, but,
surrounded on all sides by the re

with her first communion. She was
terribly frightened when the priest put

The reverend mother was so sh )clcd
when Poppy told her this that the child
was sent to another convent this time
in Germany, where they hoped she
would REGAIN her religion. But the
German girls did nothing to help her,
and presently she went back to Eng

THE FARLOR BEGAT AMOS. BY Arthur
S. Hildebraad. Published by Harcourt
Brace & Co.
THIS is a humorous and penetrating
study of the disastrous effects of
a stuffy, small town, middle class en-
vironment upon yielding and
sensitive boy. Amos tries to get away
from the deadly family parlor, but the
parlor wins out in the end and Amos
concludes conventional marriage and
begins to lead conventional life.
Unlike some critics of American phil
istinism, the author never loses con-
tact with his sense of humor and pro-
portion. The dialogue is exquisite, and
the last scene, when Amos is bound a
passive victim on the nuptial altar, is
we'll done.
