" If we look back and embrace in our gaze

sixty centuries of Human Evolution . . . we will find that violent sub- jugation of race by race, or class by class has always been the deepest cause of the decline and death of nations." Thus

M. Felix Valyi in the first number of The Review of Nations

(Geneva. $1.00 monthly). There are eighteen articles containing much serious reading, and a prefatory message from Mahatma Gandhi, who says his nationalism is an intense internationalism. It is all very laudable, if a trifle plati- tudinous ; whether people will read future issues of this " organ for pan-humanism " depends chiefly on how interesting they can be made.
