CHINA AND FOREIGN POWERS. By Sir Frederick Whyte, K.C.S.I. (Oxford

University Press. 2s. 6d. net.)- We have already, in a leading article in our issue of June 11th, drawn our readers' attention to this " historical review " of Chinese foreign relations which Sir Frederick Whyte prepared under the auspices of the Royal Institute of Inter- national Affairs for the guidance of himself and his colleagues, the British delegates who have just sailed for Honolulu to attend the Second Conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations. We repeat that it is also well worth the study of us who stay at home.
