The Foreign Office List for 1920 (Harrison, 30s.) is of
more than usual interest in its ninety-third issue as it reveals the progress made towards the restoration of normal diplomatic relations and shows how the work of the Foreign Office has expanded as a result of the war. It appears that we now have consuls at. Bremen, Frankfort, Hamburg, and Stettin, as well as at Berlin, Cologne, and Nuremberg. The cautious conser- vatism of the Foreign Office is shown in the reference to "Fiume, Hungary " in the index : we cannot discover any mention of a consul at the much disputed port, but it is certain that Hungary has lost Fiume. The Department of Overseas Trade is included in the List, with a note to the effect that " the Consular Depart- ment of the Foreign Office is under the administrative control of this Department."
