RECONSTRUCTION. By Maurice Fanshawe. (George Allen and Unwin. 5s.) WE

have written so much lately about the League of Nations that we do not propose to do more than briefly call attention to Mr. Fanshawe's book. It is not less than a duty, however, to say that no more useful book about the League has been published. It contains a clear summary of the five years'

work accomplished by the League in its successful progress. Students of the work of the League have often found it difficult to lay their hands on the necessary documents when they were wanted, but this book gathers together all that is required for general study. It is invaluable.
