The Oxford University Press has published a series of small
pamphlets (3d. each) in amplification of Lord Grey of Fallodon's brief pronouncement on The League of Nations. Sir Frederick Pollock discusses The League of Nations and the Coming Rule of Law, Professor Gilbert Murray The League of Nations and the Democratic Idea, Professor A. F. Pollard The League of Nations in History— which illustrates the failure of any League not based on a common will—while Mr. Henderson writes on The League of Noticing and Labour, and Sir Julian Corbett on The League of Nations and Freedom of the Seas. Sir Julian Corbett points out that the greatnaval Powers cannot accept a League which requires immunity for private property at sea. President Wilson, as he shows, has modified his original attitude on this question, and now stands for freedom of navigation in peace and in war, "except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants."
