Native Races and Peace Terms. By John H. Harris. (Anti-Slavery
Society, Denison House, S.W. 3d.)—An eloquent plea by the well- known and energetic Organizing Secretary of the Anti-Slavery Society that " within one year of the declaration of peace another European and American International Congress should be held to amend the existing agreements for maintaining the rights, liberties, and welfare of native races." Such a Congress, he maintains, was long overdu- when war broke out, and no reshuffle of native territories and native rights should take place without some consideration of the desires of the inhabitants themselves. Mr. Harris claims that, though much has been done to improve labour and general conditions, much still remains un- done, and makes some specific and practical suggestions for reform.
