Professor W. Jethro Brown's able essay on The Prevention and

Control of Monopolies (John Murray, Gs. net) is largely a result of his appointment as Chairman of the Royal Commis- sion on the Australian Sugar Industry—a chastening experi- ence which compelled him to formulate anew, to qualify and correct many of the theoretical views which he had previously held. He has drawn other examples from Australian legisla- tion, which he has watched at close quarters.
