THE CONTEMPORARY.
Lord Meston, one of the few experienced Anglo-Indian officials who favoured Mr. Montagu's scheme of dyarchy, has begun to have misgivings, and expresses them in a notable article, " Indian Reform : The Second Stage." " To Brah- manism the polity which we are offering for India's acceptance is just as repugnant as the creeds of Buddha Or Mohammed " —and three-fourths of the Indian peoples believe in Brah- manism. The Swaraj movement, then, is really inspired by hatred of democracy. Mr. Percy Alden states clearly " The Unemployed Problem To-day," and Mr. Arthur Baker dis- cusses, from the standpoint of a County Council Progressive, the London traffic question. Mr. George Young answers with a confident affirmative the question, " Can Labour Pacify Europe ? " Amid many other articles on home and foreign politics it is pleasant to find a paper by Mr. Walter Briscoe on " Byron as Politician "—of a type less common in his day than in our own.
