Professor Toynbee, to whom all serious students of politics should

be grateful, has now produced his Survey of International Affairs for 1926, with very detailed treatment of the League's doings, of the question of war debts, and of the Chinese complications (Oxford University Press, 24s.). The editor, being human, is not wholly impartial, but he exercises restraint over his opinions and gives an excellent survey of facts. He has also produced a valuable monograph on The Conduct of British Empire Foreign Relations since the Peace Settlement (Oxford University Press, 7s. 6d.), which illustrates very clearly the important changes in the con- stitution of the Empire that have come about silently in the last few years.
