Shorter Notices Foundations of Victory. By Lord Davies. (Collins. 2S.

60 SUGGESTIONS for the policy to adopted by the British Govan meat with regard to the resettlement of international relations after the war are made in the last chapter of Lord Davies's sroll book. He proposes that a commission should be set up now consisting of Members of Congress and of the British Parliament to plan organisation, and he seems to assume that the Govern- ments of the United States and of Great Britain will have to maintain armed forces in European countries for many Y after the war has ended. He is aware of the difficulty %villa' might arise as a consequence in our relations with Russia. NIA he sees quite correctly the importance of providing the fond and raw material which would be needed by the populatls:, The greater part of tir book, however, deals with the misul._7 policy of the British Government before the war, and arty problems of war organisation. Invasion, and the possibihrY raising an international force among refugees, are among the subjects discussed. And Lord Davies guards himself by quoting William Penn's statement that his suggestions are not those of a specialist.
