We have received the first number of a new Toronto

monthly, The Canadian Forum (25c.), which seeks "to secure a freer and more informed discussion of public questions and, behind the strife of parties, to trace and value those developments of art and letters which are distinctly Canadian." It is a thought- ful and well-written journal which deserves to find readers here as well as in Canada, inasmuch as the Canadian outlook on current problems is sometimes misinterpreted in Great Britain. We confess to some surprise at finding the first article, "The Peace Treaty and the Rhine," decidedly hostile both to France and to the Treaty itself. The Lambeth Conference's propogale for reunion receive very sympathetic: treatment. An economic page at the end gives some authoritative index figures the GOst
