There are several suggestive articles in the Round Table for
September. An American correspondent, describing " America's Will to Victory," lays stress on the efficacy of the economic weapon which the Allies can use against Germany. He thinks that it is not yet understood in America ; we fear that its immense importance is not realised even in Whitehall. There is an interesting study of " The Spirit of the Russian Revolution," marred only by a tendency to take a little too seriously the flounderings of ignorant Russian peasants in what to them—but not to us—is the uncharted sea of elementary politics. An article on " The Better Government of the United Kingdom " urges that " the road to social reform is political reform," and that " in this over-oentralised country our problem is to equip provinces with governments and to relieve the central Government by devolving on the new provincial authorities everything which each of them can take." Parliament, it is stated, must retain its full power to legislate for every part of the United Kingdom.
