THE CONTEMPORARY REVIEW.
hr the Contemporary Sir Charles Hobhouse, writing oft "Reparations and Tariffs," proposes that we should offer to forgo all further reparation payments if Germany will agree to admit British goods free of duty as long as she is paying reparation to our Allies. It is an interesting proposal, which deserves serious consideration. Sir Sydney Olivier, the late Governor of Jamaica, comments favourably on Mr. Wood's recent report on the West Indies. Professor Andres,des states the Greek case against Turkey, mentioning incidentally that in the Black Sea provinces alone the Turks have recently slaughtered over 300,000 Christians. Mr. Gilbert Thomas, in an article on "The English Penal System," describes the Borstal system for youthful offenders and also the interesting experiment at Camp Hill, where an attempt is made to wean habitual criminals from their evil courses by appealing to their sense of honour and self-respect. Mr. G. Clarke Nuttall touches on some aspects of the general problem of fatigue—in workmen, in metals, in animals and plants—and states Sir Jage,dis Bose's theory that fatigue is in all cases caused by molecular change. Mr. Sydney Grew writes with knowledge and enthusiasm of "The .Revival of Elizabethan Music," which involves the understanding of the rhythms used by the sixteenth-century composers.
