" Liberalism is dead, long live Liberalism " might well
be the motto of the Journal de Geneve which has, like ourselves, recently held centenary celebrations. It was founded in 1826, but owing to an interregnum it has only now claimed a hundred years of regular publication. Ms Mick de vie genevoise contains a plain and admirably printed account of the distinguished editors and contributors which have made of the Genevan daily one of the most widely read newspapers in the world. To-day its circulation is probably as large abroad as in Switzerland—mainly owing to the reputation which M. William Martin, the foreign editor has built up for himself as a leader writer on the League of Nations and international politics All who are free from the numbing infection of dogmas such as Socialism or Individualism, will endorse the standpoint of the Journal de Geneve on the economic question, namely, that private enterprise should be encouraged when and wherever State control is not more beneficial to the interests of the community.
