More Books of the Week
(Continued from page 595.) The League of Nations has done well to issue a handy record of its activities for last year, and to promise an annual series to be obtained for is. from the Information Section of the Secretariat at Geneva. We hope that the Secretariat is making arrangements for its more ready sale direct to the public here. The League's Survey, 1920-1926, was a useful publica- tion and this series, The League of Nations from Year to Year, will carry on the tale. What we read in the newspapers of the public doings of the Council and Assembly gives no idea of how much is done in the name of the League or of how firmly it is established at work in spheres neither political nor controversial. Any notion that the League rests on a negative basis only, the dread of war, is utterly out of date. Beyond matters of Peace and War here are records of work for Minorities, for International Law, freer trade, easier transit, co-operation between Universities and museums, and of administration of mandated countries and territories for which the League is responsible. These year-books will be more valuable still if means are found for indexing them.
